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 />

highlight <strong>of</strong> the day will be the<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 />

I've found that ever since the<br />
movie "Jaws" came around<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 />
Dolaway and his patrol boat<br />
group; to the racing teams; to<br />
Harry Morris and his crew on<br />
the dock; the people in the<br />
tower who time the races; to<br />
FYed Rexon who calls all the<br />
action; to the governing body <strong>of</strong><br />
the Yacht Club who sponsor the<br />
races; Walt DeMaris, chairman,<br />
and most <strong>of</strong> all to the<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 />
<strong>On</strong> bucktail and squid and<br />
also using top and bottom rigs<br />
the good Capt. Lew Wolf aboard<br />
his Jo-Le-Sue took the crew <strong>of</strong><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 />

angler Earl Leedecker caught a<br />
large swordfish that weighed<br />
ISO pounds. The next day they<br />
• raised four marlin and brought<br />
in a true albacore that weighed' B<br />
30 pounds. That made a nice"<br />
weekend <strong>of</strong> good fishing, "•:<br />
I tell you that there are fish in<br />
the surf. The weakfish are .<br />
there. So sorry that the big<br />
weakfish got away, Ned. You'<br />
are supposed to bring them iq.ji<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 />
good luck and tight lines.<br />
