More Prizes And Greater
Attendance Than Last
Year Predicte<j
(Special to The Herald)
PORT ISABEL. July 2. — With
completion this week of the rules
and regulations, and list of prizes I
for the 1935 Rio Grande Valley
Annual Pishing Rodeo, the stage
is set for this big fishing event that
is expected to attract sportsmen
from as far away as Chicago and
from many Gulf coast points.
The rodeo opens August 23. and
runs three days, through August
25.
New airline connections between
Brownsville and Chicago will be
utilized in urging a number of
Chicago men to come to the Val
ley for the rodeo this year, and at
least double the number of entries
of last years rodeo are expected.
A quest for sailfish is expected
to furnish one of the new angles
of the fishing rodeo this year.
Since last year s rodeo one sail
fish has been caught in the Gulf
waters near here, and several
have been seen this year. The com
mittee in order to encourage flsn
Ing for this elusive fish heads the
list of points with a sail, offering
4.000 points.
Next in the list is the tarpon,
an it is likely that with normal
weather the rodeo will develop into
a tarpon rodeo again, as it did
last year when 63 of the big fel
lows were landed, with Dr. I.
Henry Smith of Shreveport, La .
heading the list with seven of
them to win the grand prize.
For a 3-foot tarpon 250 points
will be scored, and this will be
doubled if the fish is caught- on
light tackle For each additional
inch the tarpon measures over
three feet, the contestant will be
gh-en five additional points if
caught on heavy tackle, and ten
points if the fish is caught on light
tackle.
Points for other fish are; Any
Jewftsh over 100 pounds. 500
points; jewftsh under 100 pounds.
200 points; any ling, 250 points:
any black snapper or red grouper
250 points; jackflsh over 10 pounds.
200 points; Jackflsh under 10
pounds, dolphin, king mackerel,
salt water pike or robalo bluefish.
blackfish or sunfish. redfish or
rliannel bass over 10 pounds, score
20 points each; for a redfish under
10 pounds, pompano. Spa n i s h
mackerel, spotted sea trout, sheeps
head, flounder, red snaper or drum
the contestant scores 10 points
'each; and for sand trout, croaker,
kingflsh or black mullet, and gaff
top-sail catfish the contestant
scores 5 points each.
The prize list has been boosted
to a total of 29. more than were
offered last year, with the silver
trophv of the Missouri Pacific
Lines offered as first prize The
prizes represent a value of well
over $1,000, most of them being
fishing tackle furnished by va
rious manufacturers and Valley
dealers.
Prizes are offered for the follow
ing: Grand prize for most points
• including at least one tarpon),
most points scored by woman, most
points by juvenile, heaviest fish,

fish during rodeo, largest Jackflsh.
largest pompano, largest tuna,
largest spotted sea trout, largest
Spanish mackerel, largest king
mackerel, to boatman whose pas
sengers score greatest total points,
best fish story.
A folder listing prizes and rules
and containing photographs of last
year s winners receiving their tro
phies has Just been printed and
is now being distributed.
Since last year s rodeo, work cm
the big Jetties at the pass has
been completed, and the pass is
not as rough as it was offering
better fishing. Last year all the
tarpon were caught off the mouth
of the river, but with auitable
weather it is likely that many of
them may be caught in the pass
which will result in more fishing
from small boats
Port Isabel, with the cooperation
of other Valley cities, is complet
ing arrangements for the rodeo,
and working out a program of en
tertainment for the contestants.

“If the republicans got in. they
would reduce the taxes. That's
what I think of the Roosevelt tax

if they got rid of these boards and

Curtis added that there are “at
