Tarpon Fishing Booms Off New Pass Amid Cold Gulf Air
Fishermen report unprecedented tarpon numbers off New Pass as unusually cold Gulf waters delay the fish. Night and dawn trips from offshore powerboats yield the best action with large jumps and tense reels. Captain Paul Noble hosts guests including Clarence Hitchings and Dr. L. Mitchell Noble who land a seven foot five inch plus specimen weighing about seventy pounds. Nearby parties Claude Hebb and J Claude Turner also hook one similar in size. Shaving may be prohibited in Paris because of a shortage of soap.
