The fish business has been very active in and around Beaufort for the past two weeks. Upon the whole, the weather has been favorable and the fishermen have taken advantage of it as far as possible.
Fish have been fairly plentiful, too, with the exception of mullets which have been rather scarce this season. A great many spots, considerable blue fish, trout, sea bass, mackerel and other sorts have been taken. The wholesale fish dealers have been working day and night to take care of the harvest which the fishermen have been gathering from the sea.
The menhaden fishermen however have not been doing much recently. They are expected to have their inning next month.
