Debnam of Greensboro as a pub licity agent, but he's a traveling salrsman for Nebel Knitting com pany, and, as such, a well luiown Carteret visitor. Whenever he can weekend away from home near the ocean, he fishes. And he's fished them all from Myrtle Beach to Nags Head, but avows that the Triple-Es* is the best. These are his reasons: Saturday he caught nine drum weighing from three and one half pounds to five; five flounders from three quartfrs of a pound to two pounds, two one-pound and one-half trout, 33 mixed pompano and spots and two half pound Virginia mullets. Sunday he caught one six pound drum and another smaller drum, and again a lot of spots and pom pano. To top it all off, he caught two drum on the same line. Two hooks of course.
