PAGE 6 — SECTION THREE OCEAN CITY (N.J.) SENTINEL-LEDGER<br />

By MAGGIE CORNMAN<br />

. TWs Is too good to be true.<br />

. Another nice week <strong>of</strong> fishing<br />

and no rain. Even the weekend<br />

turned out to be grand. Sure<br />

hope it "continues and maybe<br />

rain during the week and leave<br />

the 'weekends sunny for a<br />

change. Now that I've expressed<br />

my opinion on what the<br />

weather should do I shall get<br />

down to the business <strong>of</strong> telling<br />

you about my good fishing<br />

report.<br />

First <strong>of</strong> all there is the<br />

Jackell III doing its thing again<br />

with Capt. Jack Davidson and<br />

first mate Jack Jr. catching<br />

and releasing a marlin. Along<br />

with them were Ched Haab who<br />

caught a black fin tuna. Ed tells<br />

me that it is hard to identify,<br />

but it is not rare in these<br />

waters. They had Mike Maselli<br />

along for support and were<br />

The Tootsea Two with Capt.<br />

Marc Tickner and crew Mary<br />

Marley, Rich Hahn, John Flin<br />

and Oats O'Donnell along out<br />

did expectations at the G bouy<br />

in the inlet and caught flounder.<br />

They were using bucktail and<br />

minnows. John brought in a 5V4pounder.<br />

At the Corson's Inlet and on<br />

the beach was Keven King, age<br />

10. He really outdid himself by<br />

bringing in a 7.7S pound<br />

flounder which he caught on<br />

squid. I immediately put him in<br />

the contest too.<br />

Capt. Chris Costalas on his<br />

Charlotte K with first mate Lee,<br />

crew Steve, Chris, Jimmy and<br />

John Sejuit went to the<br />

stonebeds and using umbrella<br />

rigs, dark spoones, and<br />

bananas brought home 24 blues<br />

and bonita that averaged 4 to 14<br />

pounds.<br />

Capt. John Fuglio and first<br />

mate Anna, went in their Drifter<br />

and flounder fished in front <strong>of</strong><br />

Harbor House. Using minnow<br />

he brought home flounder up to<br />

8-pounds, 7 ounces.<br />

Congratualtions to Herb and<br />

Lyn Hitchon, winners <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Following a long standing<br />

tradition <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong><br />

Yacht Club, the present<br />

Commodore Gordon (Cub)<br />

Baer was initiated into the<br />

thrilling world <strong>of</strong> speedboating<br />

as he co-piloted for Walt<br />

DeMaris in Top Banana Too.<br />

Clocking speeds <strong>of</strong> 60 mph and<br />

better, "the boat was an easy<br />

winner and for the commodore,<br />

"one <strong>of</strong> the most exciting experiences<br />

<strong>of</strong> my life."<br />

Saturday will mark the end <strong>of</strong><br />

the season for the speedboaters<br />

with the annual Labor Day<br />

Regatta. It will feature open<br />

the Yacht Club dock between<br />

long established "Do la way<br />

Marathon." This is a speed run<br />

over the Yacht Club - Somers<br />

Point course.<br />

All are invited to enjoy some<br />

late morning hours <strong>of</strong> thrills<br />

and chills as the power boats<br />

there are more anglers fishing<br />

many people who made this<br />

successful year <strong>of</strong> speedboating<br />

possible. To thank them individually<br />

in this column would<br />

be impossible, but special<br />

mention must go to Dick<br />

Connelly and his crew who<br />

ready the course; to Charlie<br />

group; to the racing teams; to<br />

Harry Morris and his crew on<br />

FYed Rexon who calls all the<br />

action; to the governing body <strong>of</strong><br />

races; Walt DeMaris, chairman,<br />

public who come out on racing<br />

days to watch and cheer.<br />

lost'a six-footer at the boat.<br />

They were at the 28-mile wreck<br />

and used mackeral to catch<br />

these beasts. I guess some<br />

people get a kick out <strong>of</strong> fishing<br />

for them. Not me!<br />

also using top and bottom rigs<br />

the good Capt. Lew Wolf aboard<br />

Joe Brennen, Marty Braun,<br />

Don Bender and Ed Veith three<br />

miles <strong>of</strong>f <strong>of</strong> <strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong> and<br />

caught 20 blues and nine weakfish<br />

that weighed 6 pounds to 10<br />

pounds. That made their day<br />

great.<br />

<strong>On</strong> Sunday a lovely surprise<br />

came in. Wayne Fletcher<br />

bought a rell the night before<br />

and caught a wahoo that<br />

weighed 40 pounds, 12 ounces,<br />

and was 59MJ inches long. He<br />

was aboard the Wayvin and had<br />

Capt. Wayne Fletcher and first<br />

mate Betty along. They were at<br />

the 28-mile wreck too. Boy!<br />

That wreck sure does have the<br />

different kind <strong>of</strong> fish.<br />

• raised four marlin and brought<br />

in a true albacore that weighed' B<br />

weekend <strong>of</strong> good fishing, "•:<br />

I tell you that there are fish in<br />

there. So sorry that the big<br />

weakfish got away, Ned. You'<br />

instead <strong>of</strong> loosing them, you."<br />

know. , .';<br />

What can I say? The fish are<br />

out there but seem to have<br />

moved out <strong>of</strong> the bay. The snappers<br />

are here too. Inlets are.<br />

very busy with the fishing. The<br />

surf is picking up nicely and, <strong>of</strong> *<br />

cour.se, in <strong>Sep</strong>tember the *<br />

fishing (we hope) will be even<br />

better along the surf. So get out<br />

there and do your thing.<br />

Remember I have contests here<br />

to put you in when you catch a<br />

big one. Have a good week,<br />
