"We should get another two or three days good fishing from these beds and I've got another spot In mind after that," Bogan said.

"Beauty point of it is that the fish moved in after a clammer had been working there only one day." GENERALLY the party boat fleet won't move In on the clam beds for a couple of days after the elammers have been working it hard. "I think the fact that they came in like this was an indication there are a lot of cod around." he said. In shallow water the winter flounders are cooperating in the holes from the canal to the bridge in Barnegat Bay. Oyster Creek is also producing fish.

There were also rumors of bass in the deep spots at Cedar Creek, but this is an annual occurrence that has been proven wrong more times than right THE OCEAN temperature off Ocean County was 38 degrees three miles from shore and probably 36 on the beach. There seems to be no reason at all to fish the surf at Island Beach or Long Beach Island Sunday. Proof that there are more than a handful of biss in New Jersey comes from the green sheet out of Fulton Market.

Shipped from Jersey and received Wednesday were 1,700 pounds of bass. Where they were netted is anyone's guess. CAPT.

Leading the Marlboro title drive are unbeaten Pete Mad-sen at 115 pounds and John Samari at 106. Oack to seek another 98-pound title in District 24 is Neptune's Curry Abbott.

Class co-champions Howell and Manasquan and host Wall are expected to lead the opposition for Marlboro. Southern Regional boasts a pair of returning champions, Church Barfoot and Nick Pez-zillo, in the District 25 event at the Rams' gymnasium. Both went unbeaten in dual meets this season Barfoot at 115 pounds and Pezzillo at 123. Another unbeaten Ram is WINNERS AT these two meets, plus the Region 1 meet at Hackensack and Region 2 at Union, then move into Princeton for the all-or-nothing finals. Middletown, Marlboro and Southern Regional, the Shore's three top teams, are all favored to walk off with district titles.

Middletown's Lions, led by undefeated Ken Hallgring at 157 pounds and Len Florio at 168, are the solid choice in the meet on home territory. CBA, Red Bank Catholic, and Long Branch are expected to give Middletown its most trouble. Back to seek repeat district titles are Hallgring and Florio, as well as Len's brother Mike, the 143-pound choice. MARLBORO finished a distant fourth to Wall in District By JOHN GEISER ABSECON Sniped bars fishermen stand a slim chance of catching fish in the Mullica River when the season opens Sunday. Paul Hamer, head of the Division of Fish and Game's Nacote Creek lab, said last night that his men found bass In the river Tuesday.

"There are some but I wouldn't expect much action," he said. Division personnel used a depth recorder to examine the holes, channels, and slopes of the Mullica from the Garden State Parkway bridge west. "They took the boat out shortly before noon and weren't back until late," he said. "They only found one concentration of bass in the mainstream off Collins Cove." HAMER POINTED out, however, "It's a big river, they could have missed some concentrations. It takes about two days to cover the river thoroughly." The water temperature In the Mullica was a cool 36 degrees Tuesday.

"I don't know what it was today proba- bly colder after these last couple of cold days," he add ed. He pointed out that it had climbed to 40 degrees earlier but even if it did reach that by Sunday he didn't expect much action. While we hadn't heard of any bass pinpointed in the Toms River, Hamer said he heard a rumor of some fish there. If they are in that riv er the chances are they re off Island Heights or the golf Carabella Wins SYDNEY.

P.J. Talks of the Oakniont Course P. J. Boatwright, executive director of the U.S. Golf Association since Joe Dey went to the PGA as tournament czar, talked briefly about the Amateur won at Oakmont Country Club last summer by Steve Melnyk, noting USGA hadn't softened the course since Ben Hogan (1953) and Jack Nicklaus (1962) won U.S.

Hill Gtes Land of Opportunity Dave Hill, winner of the Vardon Trophy for low stroke average (70.34 for 90 rounds) for the year, said, "America is the one place in the world where a person can come from being a caddy to meet some some of the people I do (and to make enemies I do)." One of the PGA's most vociferous rebels against the establishment, added. "I play for golf and for the people I hope to meet." Orville Moody, U.S. Open champion and Player of the Year, reminisced that "three or four years ago I used to sit in the barracks and watch these great pros on TV and wish I could get out.

and play with them. And here I am today." He also had a critique on Bob Hope, honored with the Gold Tee Award for contributions to the game. "Bob swings like he's playing polo without a horse." Old Sarge thanked "my fellow pros who played so badly at Houston" where he won the Open last June. Palmer Ages Bob Hope Arnie Palmer, who got the assignment to introduce Hope, threw a barb at the comedian who has visited war zones for years to entertain troops. "Even Napoleon remembers Bob on a campaign." And then Hope kept the crowd roaring with a typical line of patter which included "This is the 33rd year I failed to make the cut for the Academy Awards With all this golf talent here, I feel as out of place as Doug Sanders at a rummage sale When (Vice President Spiro) Agnew addresses the Senate now and comes down with the gavel, the whole right side of the Senate dives under their desks to avoid his slice We ought to send him to Paris for the peace talks with a wedge Nixon's new policy is to speak softly and carry a big Greek Hope Avenges Palmer Slur Palmer, he said was "the only man who needs a caddy for his wallet, and who sends Care packages to Mike Brodie."
