The last of the boats en me fn last weekend aftd all but three were reported fishing on Tuesday. Heavy smoke from factories and the familiar "fish cookin' " odor reveal that the menhaden season is here. The menhaden, swimming south, are now off from Cape Hattaras and county fishermen are hoping (or a spell of co)4 weather to hasten them an their way.

The 14 boats, 12 of which are owned outright by Standard Prod ucts, were fishing off the Gulf Coast and in the Chesapeake Bay before coming here. Five spotters are flying for the Standard Prod ucts boats. Wallace Fisheries, Morehcad City, has had boats out for the past two weeks.
