Gunther’s got it!
*• It hits you the moment he steps to the plate—the powerful way he swings
that stick, his watch-spring balance. You don’t need to look up his batting
average in the record books. You just know he’s got it!
And that’s how you’ll feel about Gunther, too. There’s
something happily alive about Gunther’s taste that’s
"big league”—right off the bat. You just can’t find

Our trip to- Ocean City after
bluefish came off per schedule
Monday. In company with Sam
Neal. Calvert Bowie, Dr* Paul
Hatch and our
son Bill, jr., we
Sunday after-
Maramor II
, started catch- MM
ing bluefish I
We saw very
. few fish sur- BUI L ** teh ‘
! facing and all we caught were
taken blind trolling. We’d run
across a small school and load
r up three or four lines, but were
1 rqrely able to circle back and
. get into the same fish again.
r The bluefish are now feeding
' on sand eels, which are present
in that vicinity by the millions.
I Although they will take any
l lure freely when they are bit
ing, the commercial fisherman’s
i “feathers” with leader threaded
► through the metal head and at
s tached to a 4/0 or 6/0 hook ,is
preferred. This loose hpok ar
I UtttH
—with Bill LMttH
rangement prevents the fish from
surfacing, his head and
thereby using the leverage of
the lead head of the usual buck
tall to throw the hook.
** * *
We caught all our fish on
Lusby Lures, but lost three fish
In the process. Every one else
used the feathers and lost no
i fish.- We also noticed that nylon
lines were not as good for this
sort of trolling as linen. There
i was too much stretch even in
| the processed nylon lines to
enable one to set the hook
solidly on the strike. We think
this also had something to do
with fish throwing the hook.
Capt. Power, who skippered
us. really did a job, and we came
home with 24 blues ranging from
3 to 5 pounds and one small
mackerel. The fish . stopped
biting about 11 a.m. and, al
though we continued trailing
until 2:30, we caught no more.
Back at the docks we found our
catch was average, although
some boats had as many as 50
or more fish. They got there
earlier. We noticed the commer
cial fishermen aim to be on the
Jack Spot by not later than 5
a.m.
Several marlin were sighted
LITTLE SPORT
Sunday and Monday. Several
boats were trolling squid on out
riggers, but none were hooked
that we know of. Saw a whop
ping sea turtle with barnacle
covered back and a large sting
ray or cow-ray—couldn’t tell
which. The morning, breeze
: moderated into an almost dead
calm by noon and all of us got a
good sun dusting.
** * *
Lou Raymond called us as we
were writing this to say he’s back
at Ocean City and open tor book
ings. His Lev-Lou is docked at
the Josh Bunting dock, and you
can reach him by calling Ocean
City 044-J or the dock office
phone, Ocean City 9.
Incidentally, most boats at
Ocean City are now booked
solid for the summer, and Capt.
Talbot Bunting already has a
great number of bookings for
1955. It is our understanding
that boats out of Indian River
Inlet are .also heavily booked.
In spite of our fishing trip being
on Monday, we counted 46 boats ;
fishing the Jack Spot at one
time and undoubtedly many!
others were nearby.
We expect to hear any day
now of the first marlin being
taken, although it is still a little
early for these fish. There is
great rivalry between the boat
captains for the capture of this
first fish season.- Meanwhile,
the bluefish will cbntinue to hold
the spotlight. It is astonishing
what a battle one of these
relatively small fish can make.
