The writer visited Herring Bay last Wednesday and had his first e perience with these fish murderers, | oven getting the boat he was on | caught within the large circle of the | net, along with three other hoats, I The story, briefly, is that a hig schooner made her appearance, ap- parently coming from the direction of | Annapolis and dropping anchor of the mouth of Herring Bay. Yards and yards of seine were loaded in two fast motor boats, ready to dart forth at a given signal from the man sta- | tioned at the masthead with a spy glass watching for the fish to break. | The outlook on the schooner and | the captain of our boat saw a school | of fish break at the same time and | the purse netters’ boat and our own made a dash for the sighted fish. Our boat, from which we had been troll- ing for several hours and landing plenty of bluefish, rock and trout, reached the fish first and commenced to circle around. only to find that we | had been entirely surrounded by the purse nets. We had no way to es- cape except to make a dash and take the chance of cutting their net or perhaps getting the top line of the net tangled in our propeller. Fortu- nately, we escaped, but not without cutting or deing some damage to their nets which the captain of our boat sald he sincerely hoped and prayedewas a big one. Simply Scattered the Fish. The only reward we got for our efforts was -to scatter the fish and allow a big majority of them to es- cape from these fish hounds. It fs reported that these purse netters are far more active this year than ever | before, some of them, showing an utter disregard for the law, hauling their nets in forbidden territory de- spite the presence of trolling boats. The boatmen of Herring Bay tell of one purse netter who was caught inside the line prescribed by law with a catch of one and a half tons of rock and bluefish and was allowed to g0 scott free with only a warning, when the law says that any one so caught shall be fined $1,000 and his boats confiscated and sold. Something must be done to end thi: shameful practice. Residents of the District of, Columbia. and Maryland go to the bay and hire boats to troll | from, thereby providing a means of earning extra money for the natives of thess Maryland fishing grounds. which in turn enables them to help pay their different kinds of taxes, ete. | The result. if these purse netters are not stopped in their wholesale*murder of fish, will be that, first, the game fish in the bay will be annihilated. and If there is no fishing in the bay the natives will ba deprived of this extra money. There is a remedy for this kind of thing, and that remedy lies with the State’ Tegislature, hacked up by the governor of the State. Come on, Maryland, do your part and put a stop to this practice!
