The Bay’s Ghost Fish

The Silver King & I
For us commoners, the leaping pageantry of tarpon is almost enough
Anxiety quivered through my body as the fourth and last day of a frustrating June tarpon fishing vacation drew to a close.

Has Diamond Jim been caught? … Oysters grow faster than Army Corps of Engineer studies … Pennsylvania to build six giant ethanol storage tanks on the Susquehanna … Sen. Barbara Mikulski tries for better gas mileage in federal Energy Bill … and last but not least, this week’s Creature Feature: In Chesapeake Bay, three sea turtles return home after rehabilitation by the life-saving Virginia Aquarium Stranding Response Team of the Marine Animal Care Center.
