Another World Age
Another,'world ago we wrote of fishing and always made the deadline. Camille changed that as surely as she has changed, and will further change our Mississippi Gulf Coast.
We have seen so much of the debris-strewn Coast where Camille tried to bury the hopes of our people and in every instance have seen that uncompromising determination to fight back—to build back.
Many of our fishing camps were among the casualties. Those that were on the beaches of Biloxi, Gulfport, Long Beach, Pass Christian, Ocean Springs and Bay St. Louis did not survive. Others on our bays, rivers and bayous were seriously damaged or destroyed.
But within two weeks after the storm some of the hardest hit fishing camps were open for business.
In Biloxi Good Luck Fishing Camp at Point Cadet was leveled. There are no plans yet by Mrs. Ed Ott to rebuild. Henry Treloar operated a fishing camp and live bait dealership at the Bungalow Pier and he was washed out. But for the past several weeks he has been operating on Bi-’oxi Beach at the foot of Holley Street. Gautier and Byrd Fishing Camp was swept away but they moved virtually all boats, motors and equipment from the beach before Camille and are now operating as a boat and motor shop on East Howard Avenue.
On the shores' of North Biloxi David’s Fishing Camp was swept away as was also the Bay Fishing Camp, both on the north shore at Back Bay Bridge. Both of these, we expect, will be back in the live bait business soon.
In the Ocean Springs area Sam Zanca’s Fishing Camp at the small craft harbor was put out of commission temporarily as was Fort Bayou Fishing Camp and perhaps some others on Fort Bayou. We were told that Cool Point Marina at Gautier was completely destroyed.
Talked to Wally Andrews at Mary Walker Fishing Camp and he reported shed damage, filling of canal and two lost boats from his marina out of 100 — all the others rode out the storm safely.
Fishing Good
Andrews reported Tucei’s Fishing Camp was hard hit and also that Roy’s Fishing Camp had received water damage. But he’s back in business with boats, live bait, etc., and reported specks and bass biting good.
Wick’s Fishing Camp is back in operation with lo skiffs saved from their fleet of 30. They have live bait and report excellent fishing. Lionel Byrd reported some 250 trees downed and that it took three days to cut a path through the property to connect with Popps Ferry Road.
Popps Ferry Fishing Camp sustained heavy damage but is now back in business. Four Jacks Fishing Camp is operating after having received the highest water in its history. My own fishing boat was the victim of a falling tree (of all things)!
The fishing camps in Gulfport’s small craft harbor were swept clean but should be operating soon. Those camps in other back water areas from Gulfport west to Pearl River were subjected to high waters. Liveoak Fishing Camp on Bayou DeLisle was completely wiped out and Martin’s Bayou Fishing Camp on Wolf River is being rbeuilt. Ramps are usable and trailers are being reinstalled.
There are some 65 fishing camps along our Gulf Coast (not counting those on inland lakes) and our meager scouting reports only touches' these few. We would be indebted to the operators of all other camps if they would communicate with
