Jerry couldn't win two prizes, because a youngster can qualify for only one award in any one month. The contest is open to any youngster in Baytown under 17, the age when you start buying a fishing license. The rules list the competition as 16 and under. FOR THE benefit of those unfamiliar with the popular summer time sport for youngsters in the Baytown area, me gars must be caught in Baytown city limits. The only exception to the city limit rule is two piers where gar fishing is sometimes popular, and that is Thompson's and Chrisley's piers at the mouth of Cedar Bayou.

Balke caught his gar, incidentally, off the J. T. Adams pier at the Robert E. Lee High School on Goose Creek stream. mullet for bait, and made his big catch June 26.

There were two other winners in the contest, a second and a third place. MICHAEL SABOT1K, age 11, who lives at 1800 Utah, caught a 50 pound gar for second place honors, and a cash award of $7.50. Sabotik made his big catch on June 8, using mullet bait, and fishing from the Adams pier. The third place winner was Larry Kluck who lives at 2012 Hill in Baytown. He made his $5 cash catch fishing from Thompson's pier.

He, too, used mullet for bait, and made tils big catch on June 22. Kluck barely nosed out Don Northrup, 15, of 183 Bayshore Drive, Baytown, for the third place award. Don on June 18 registered a 37 pound gar caught on cut At least he was in there trying, and he made Kluck hustle to get in there for the third place prize money. FOR THE benefit of newcomers in the gar fishing contest, the gars, after they are caught, must be registered at Jim Nelson's sporting goods store on North Main Street at E. DeFee in Baytown.

Nelson has a pair of giant size cotton scales mounted at the store, which makes it easy to weigh in the big fish. But you can't win if you don't register them. There are minor essentials in gar fishing. You need ar- 'stout line, a rod, and use the kind-of bait the gar likes best which is usually mullet. MICHAEL.
