Fishing parties from up the State and elsewhere are arriving in Beaufort and Morehead City almost every day now.
Blue fish and mackerel are being caught to some extent now and pig fish, croakers, black fish and other sorts are rather plentiful.
A party from Salisbury composed of Messrs. P.B. Beard, A.H Graff, E.R. Overman, and Dr. J.A. Cadwell of Mount Clair, New Jersey, arrived Monday and have had fair success with the hook and line. They are stopping at the Davis House.
Another party at the Davis House is composed of Mr. and Mrs. R.W. Staley, Broadus Staley of Fort Wayne, Indiana, and Mr. P.L. Walker of Greensboro.
Editor's Note: You probably haven't seen pig fish at your local fish market because they are primarily used as a bait fish today. And black fish was a rather generic term that referred to several types of fish. Markets today sell these fish under their more exact names: Tautog, black sea bass, sheepshead, bowfin, and black drum.
