Early Spring Opens Gulf Fishing; Season Port Aransas, Tex., April— —The summer fishing season has already started in this Gulf Coast area, thanks to a mild winter and early spring. Usually, the first tarpon are not sighted in these parts until middle of April. But the first was caught this year on Feb. 28. "Frank Rogers of San Antonio was fishing for drum off the fisH- l?* p , i , er ^• l ?L M u ?i n8r Carroll Wakefield, opgrhtor the pier* and a bait and tackle coi cession, said. "A big drum took oi hook and a tarpon grab! other, knocking the drum Rogers landed the tarpon but so riUMppointod at losing the fi drum that ha_ threw the ta back into the tiulf of Mexico* a; before a picture could lie made. , "It must Have been one of tKe earliest tarpon catches on record here." Lota of pompano, mackerel, iarkfUh, redftah, trout, sheeps* head and drum are currently bet Ing caught, following tho.beai at winter toorlet eeeaon this towih at the northern tip of Mostang island, hae ever known. T Up and down the coast angle are taking to such bays as Rei fish Bay, Aransas Bay, Rockport Bay, and Copano Bay. Beach cot tages at Aransas Pass, Rockport, and Bayside (on CopanO Bay), and Port Aransas, report a good trade. Tarpon Inn, a landmark at Port Aransas, is again in operation this year, managed by William Ellis and wife, \ Port Aransas has a big fleet 6f Gulf fishing boats—for gamefish such as tarpon and sailfish as well as edible varieties. Veteran guides have been readying their boats for a predicted big season. Boats will be piloted again this year by such veterans as Bill Moore, Son ny Matthews, J. D. Littleton, Ap- brey Nelson, Kenneth Nelson, Florida Roberts, Henry Studeman and others. J J] Marlin have been seen at Port Aransas but none has ever been caught. The competition to land the first marlin here will be strong again this year. Fishermen who prefer not to go out in hosts fish from the jetties at Port Aransas or on the free fishing pier. Hundreds were caught by pier and jetty fishermen last year. In one day, 29 tarpon were landed on the pier. In pier and jetty fishing, heavier tackle is used than in fishing from boats.
