HARDING’S FISHING. GROUND
By ”\VBESCE MARTIN
ON VACATION \VITH PRESI-
DENT HARDING (By main—There
are ‘00 known varieties of fish life
in tho waters of Florida. Captain
Chorloy Thompson knows them all.
80 has caught most or them.
That about sizes up one of the most
tamotis men in the world. of whom
tho world at large hears little. as such
things go. But say "Thompson" to
o Minoan. and he will say "“110,
Charley Thompson?" They all know
Ilia, and call him the world's great-
est fisherman.
(1:!
o! the old Spanish lighthouse rears its
hood, rxzr Biscayne Bay. Charley
Thompson was born, some fifty years
ago. liis grandfather was keeper of
that old light, which was sending its
beams over Ill" shallow waters of
Biscayne Bay when the Spaniards
sold Florida. Thompson was born on
Soldiers Cay. an island that looks to
the passersby down the Biscayne
channel to be about as b‘g as i. ginger-
snap. and about as interesting.
They call it Soldiers Cay because in
the Seminole insurrection, along in
there, and there too occurred a mas-
sacre of whites by the Seminoles. who
were rebelling against white domina-
tion. .
Thompson learned about fish and
fishing before he learned much else.
and he has gone on learning and
teaching some of his own high art to
others. ever since. To see him land a
fighting sailfish is a. living proof of
the triumph of mind over matter. For
your sailfish is a fighting :lcmon. who
must he caught more by strategy and
skill than by main strength. You
dangle your bait out there for him—-
a nice eight inch ballyhoo fish. say—
nnli the sailfish nostril: along. hits the
lmlt with his peculiar snout.
T‘iil‘o the dun colored shaft 1))
Right
there plenty of green fishermen loscllltcrally tore him to pit-(W‘s,
Mr. Sailfish. for they think he has.
struck and taken the bait. llut he'
hasn't. Charley Thompson's way is to
slack off a bit when the sailfish hits
the bait. and that makes the fish think
he has killed the ballyhoo. Then he
will take it into his mouth, and that
begins the battle in real earnest.
These sailfish are big follows. One
Biscayne Bay skipper said he knew
of 60 poundcrs. and had heard tell (i
some that ranged up to 100 pounds.
though he had never seen any. A
fifteen pen .d one is plenty big 111011711
for most lisbermcn and it is admittut
shorn‘tu tho: more of them 3-21

live or six )ears ago caught the greatl

of the doop Weighed about 40.3le
pounds and had a. mouth and throat
you could throw r. barrel down. His
hide was inches thick. and though he
was half dead when Thompson came
upon him. it took three days to cup-
turc him.
More, than 100 shots from a r'fie
were fired into him. but the expand-
ing bullets «lid not seem to both'?r
him. He got ahgry once and \xith a
flip of his (normous tail demolished
about 50 foot of deck.
To prove that this is not a. firll
story. Thompson lml the huge ca“-
cass mountcd. and had exhibited it ill
several places. The ihcorv ix 1'. at tho;
monster was woundvvl by some \ol-
canic eruption on the ocean flccr.i
miles down, and came to the surface.:
and then could not get back. i

bigger than any bone in a. horse.
Captain Charley and some of his
associates want Miami to become the
tishcrman‘s capital of the ’ United
States. They’ declare it will when
fishermen understand the wonderful
opportunities Florida waters offer
them. You can't abash them either
by suggesting that Miami already ap-
pears to be the fish-story capital.
They, at least. know the wonders of
those blue waters are real.

Briefly. the Powor Staggered W’ava—

would be broadcasted on another
wavelength band. while popular musi~
cal programs would be confined to still
another wavelength.
The Power Plan as recommended by
