PAOE 8 — SECTION NINE THE OCEAN CITY SENTINEL-LEDGER
Play Lower Cape May to 8-8 tie
Raiders tie for league lead in baseball
by Tom Williams
"Maybe it's fitting that this
game finished in a tie since both
teams played so poorly. I'm not
sure either one of us deserved
to win."
Raider baseball' coach Bud
Rinck made the comment after
1 his team blew three leads and
finished in an 8-8 tie with Lower
.Cape May Regional. The game
will be completed only if it has
an effect on the Cape-Atlantic
League championship.
What Rinck didn't know as he
spoke is that Pleasantville, one
of three unbeaten teams going
into; Monday's action, had tost
to Sacred Heart. That meant
the two teams who "didn't
deserve to win" Monday's
game were temporarily tied for
first place.
The Raiders, 3-0-1 before
yesterday's scheduled meeting
with Pleasantville, had
registered earlier wins over
St. Joseph of Hammonton, U-8,
and Wildwood Catholic, 12-2.
Lower Cape May tagged
Raider starter Jim Chadwick
for four hits, including a double
by Art Fournier, and assumed a
3-0 lead before the Raiders ever
stepped to bat. Once they did,
however, the situation quickly
changed.
Mike Calise, Bill Engel and
Danny Doerr all walked to load
the bases with no outs. The
Raiders used a sacrifice, two
more walks, four stolen bases
JACK SMITH
at the hot corner.
and. five Caper errors to score
five times in the first inning
without a single hit.
Lower Cape May kept hitting,
however. They knocked out
three more, including a double
by Lou Genovese, to produce
two more runs and tie the score
at 5-5 after two innings. \
Mike Hickman singled to
start the fourth, advanced to
third and scored when Calise
threw wild to the plate on Steve
Steger's ground ball. That put
the Tigers on top, 6-5. .

Basking shark in Dan's net
The-Montagnas, Dan, ST., and
Dan, Jr., are well known
ihroughout the area • as
fishermen and when there are
any fish around you can be sure
they will find them. '
1 Well, these fishermen came '
up with a real prize .Tuesday
morning: They had been
checking their nets for shad
close to the beach at North st.
when they were surprised with
a catch of a very different
nature. It was a basking shark
measuring 14 feet in length and
weighing about 1500 pounds.
Before everyone goes into a
state of shock and vows not to
enter the water in the North st.
area, let us assure one and all
this shark is absolutely harmless.
In fact it doesn't even
have any teeth.
The .basking shark is
classified as a giant shark
second only to the whale shark.
It usually measures five to six
feet at birth and can grow to 40
to 50 feet at maturity. Its full
weiaht is about 9000 pounds.
This shark is a warm water,
open ocean fish and usually
travels in groups of 60 to 100. It
is known to be in both the
Atlantic and Pacific. The full
grown specimens can produce
600 gallons of oil which is used
for a low vitamin or for the old
oil lamps.
It was uncertain Just what the
Montagnas were going to do
with their unexpected visitor
but he sure was a sight and
quite a way to get the season off
to a start.
HELLO THERE! — Dan Montagna; Sr> and Jr.,
bring in the 14-foot Basking Shark they caught
Tuesday morning.
NICE BABY — Here the shark is after having been
landed and laying on the dock at Montagna's, 10th st.
and the bay.

Friend of
the Flounder
pi' Are we gteV
winter is overV How did you get
through it? We hope very well,
I'll tell you we froze the barnacles
off our you-know-what.
Did you ever think we'd see
Spring again after our hard
winter? I still have my doubts,
but plenty of strong hopes for
the upcoming months ahead.
In looking back to last
summer and fall fishing, I think
our chances are pretty good
As you know, I didn't get
started writing this column
until the middle of August, so, I
thought I'd share some
highlights of last year's ex-
periences with you.
It is a fun column and we like
to poke humor and laughter to
anyone we can. so here goes.
Do you recall Mike Brainback
who at six years of age
showed all the fishermen
around him how to catch fish by
getting the only seabass at that
time? Harry Hopper aboard his
"Swifty" landed a bluefish, and
Craig Remington's 83-pound
wahoo?
How about Lorry Wroblewski
.and her first time out landed
seven pound, eight ounce
flounder, and Bethy D'Arcy
outdoing husband Jim with her
12 pounder? Also, Gary Blizzard
and his 26-pound dolphin.
Dan Montagna, Sr, and his
stately black tie and his 13
pound, five ounce weakie.
Look, mom!, eight-year-old
Greg Davis and his four pound
weakies out of the surf.
These are just a few to
remind you of the fish caught
last year. Next week I'll give
you some more.
Now, this year is new. Don't
you think we all could try
harder to get more and larger
fish? We must keep Ed busv
with his camera.
NoWTtttpiryW .thatfts
winter flounder: time /again.
Believe it or not, they're here.
So take my advice and grab a
glob of blood worms, small
hooks, an old toilet plunger on a
long stick and get to the bay.
Start plunging the bottom, feed
your line back with a threehook
flounder rig and then sit
back and hope for the first big
bit of the season. That should
start your adrenalin working
fast. Dinner will be late, again,
honey.
Along about the same time
the mackerel will be offshore in
50 feet of water. Use a mackerel
rig for fun fishing. About three
-to five fish can be caught at
once. Boy!, since you've been
so lazy this past winter, you'll
have muscles you forgot you
had. It sure is a great feeling
and lots of fun. Man!, the
season has just begun.
About the middle of April you
can begin to look for striper
bass, kingfish and weakfish
along the surf, and summer
flounder in the bay. That is if
the good old weather doesn't
louse us up.
From this time on we'll keep'
you posted. So, please report to
us your catches. Bring in your
fish for weighing and
photographing. Ml be waiting
and so will Big Ed. Good Luck!
Maggie.
