FLORIDA: FF in Miami area and in northwest. Fish seem to be working in wide traveling schools from Ochlockonee Bay west to St. George Island with most fish being taken on cut bait and small spoons.

MARLIN: HAWAII: Black marlin fishing excellent last week and Kona reports a 503-pounder caught by Dick Welsh of Honolulu and a 379-pounder taken by Mrs. Marshall Field Jr. of Chicago.

NEW JERSEY: Tuna fishermen daily are picking up white marlin, and chances of improvement are good until equinoctial rains.

NORTH CAROLINA: Bill fishing coming to peak off banks with outlook excellent for blue marlin, white marlin and sailfish at Gulf Stream's edge.

COBIA: SOUTH CAROLINA: Bottom fishing anglers on Capt. Sam Vereen's Ocean Queen spotted three cobia on surface 15 miles off Ocean City Beach. Shrimp-baited hook of Chester Mowry, Fort Plain, N.Y. ignored, but biggest cobia swallowed Mowry's sun glasses when they fell overboard. Experimenter Roy Spears, San-ford, N.C. tried unsuccessfully with cut bait, pork chop and wieners until biggest cobia took hook baited with hunk of country ham from boat's snack bar. Mowry's glasses recovered from stomach of 53-pounder. Brothers H. I. and Herman Attaway, Newberry, S.C., took hint, baited with ham and caught other two-weighing 38 and 18 pounds.
