Fishing Regs To Be Made Up By Guides Fishing regulations will be printed on the back of a card” which will be given following a deposit with local charter boatmen, the group decided at a meeting held this week. The deposit will cover cost of tackle lost or broken. Re- garding the giving of fish to guests aboard the boat, this provision is left open to the individual captain. It is the practice of Key West charter boatmen to give the party enough fish to have a fish dinner to ship to their friends for a fish dinner. Plans for a tournament next season were discussed. The securing of a new dock for the charter -boats is the subject of discussion and one of the principal aims of the group. Officers elected were Will- iam H. Krolé, president; Jakie Key, vice president: Clem Price, temporary secre- tary and treasurer. Lee Max- well and John West were elected directors. The group will do some ad- vertising to attract fishing parties here. } } yg aleg 149| earning many extra pennies by} Team: ioe R. Ee LVI III IIS SS.
