CERROS ISLAND FISHING A
S. UCCESS
The days fishing at Cerros Island
proved very successful. In spite of the
fact that' no record size fish were
caught, a goodly number of medium
sized sea bass were landed by each
boat. A few Bonita and a Yellowtail
were also brought in.
Secretary Ickes took the honors of
the day for the largest fish, only
beating the President out by a few
ounces. Lt. ( jg) Harris shared the
honors by hooking the greatest number,
including minnows.
Everyone seemed well satisfied with
the days catch and immediately started
relating about the one that got
away, or, the fish they were going
to catch on the morrow. .....

name to Ens. Burdick, as soon as
possible..
