In the forties there were no sardines around. The "dines" were gone. In the summer of 1948, if you were lucky enough to come across a rare sardine in the bait tank it was an automatic albacore. Since, they have bounced back and there seems to be lots of them now. Although the latest commercial fish report complained that the fish this year were unusually small. This is scary in that they might not be producing like they have been. None of us want to hear that.<br><br>George Van Zant<br><A HREF="http://www.bigfishtackle.com/georgescorner.htm " target="_new">http://www.bigfishtackle.com/georgescorner.htm </A><br>
