STATE PATROL SEARCHES
FOR ILLEGAL FISH NETS
The California Fish and Game Com-
mission patrol boat "Albacore," Cap-
tain H. B. Nidever, made several trips
around Catalina Island last week, in
search of net fishermen from the main-
land, who have been reported illegally
in fish and game district No. 20. No
arrests were made, as the commercial
fishermen, if there had been any there,
had apparently been watching for the
pbssible arrival of the patrol boat, and
had gotten out of the district.
Answering a call to Ventura before
coming to Catalina. Captain Nidever
had succeeded in capturing several op-
erators who were using drag nets. A
drag net is worth approximately $500,
and Captain Nidever had four of the
nets on board the patrol boat.
When the state patrol boat entered
Avalon harbor some Avalonites thot
that it was a commercial fishing boat,
because of the pile of nets on its deck.
During the mackerel and barracuda
fishing season, Captain Nidever stated,
he often takes the patrol boat to the
boundary lines of districts 20 and 20a
without coming into Avalon harbor.
C. E. Cronkhite and E. Snapper Ing-
ham were in Avalon over the week-
end, making arrangements for the an-
nual American Legion pilgrimage to
Catalina in June. It is expected that
over two thousand Legionaires will
make the trip.
