Great Marsh Associates Inc,,
was given an extension on its
lease to hunt Lewes' Great Marsh
recently.
Lewes City Council voted April
10, to renew the 10-year lease for
the marsh, known for its duck
hunting. The Great Marsh is lo-
cated roughly at the end of Pilot-
town Road near Roosevelt Inlet
and Canary Creek and this group
has held the hunting lease for the
least 17 years.
The new lease requirement for-
bids hunting near the GreenhiU
Light area, an area of consider-
able local historical significance.
The group, whose current license
is set to expire in 2001, requested
the early license renewal because
several duck blinds and walkways
need repairs and the organization
wanted to ensure the next 10-year
contract before funding them.
The lease cost is $4,500 for the
first five years, then $5,000 for
the remainder of the lease.

OUTDOORS
With Earth Day set for April 22,
it might be time to repeat some of
those recomendafions. With only
a small effort and a few house-
keeping practices, boaters can re-
duce the amount of pollutants
from their boating activities. By
minimizing boat wakes, shoreline
erosion can be reduced, and there
will be less stirring up of bottom
sediment to block needed light.
When on the water, boaters
should keep all trash onboard and
recycle items when possible.
Floating garbage washed up on
shorelines deters from our water-
ways' natural beauty. Boaters
should use care to see all fishing
line and plastic bags return to port.
When conducting maintenance
on boats, water-based paints and
varnishes should be used whenev-
er possible and care should be tak-
en to prevent paint, thinners and
chemicals from being washed into
the water. Many toxic substances
can kill sensitive aquatic life, re-
duce animal productivity and or
concentrate in the food chain.
When cleaning decks and hulls
less toxic and biodegradable prod-
ucts should be used to reduce pol-
lutants, antifouling paints contain-
ing TBT should be avoided as
TBT is one of the most toxic
chemicals introduced into the en-
vironment. Any scrapings from
boat bottoms should be swept up
and disposed of properly.
Boat engines can also be a
source of pollutants. A poorly
maintained engine can produce
excessive amounts of emissions.
Boaters should keep their engines
tuned to the manufacturer's speci-
fications. This not only reduces
emissions, but also can save the
boat owner money through less
gasoline consumption. By mini-
mizing engine idle time and oper-
ating at speeds within the engine's
most efficient range, boaters will
see increased savings with the
added benefit of less pollution.
Waste oil from engines can be re-
cycled and oil-absorbing materi-
als should be used in engine bilge
spaces to catch leaks and spills.
And, as with all trash, empty oil
containers should be disposed of
properly.
Finally, boaters should remem-
ber that dumping of untreated
sewage is illegal. Boaters should
use approved marine sanitation
devices and use designated
pumpout stations whenever possi-
ble. The Division of Fish and
Wildlife Office of Boating Educa-
tion can be contacted for informa-
tion on Marine Sanitation Devices
at 302-739-3486.
They're baaack
The big news for fishermen is
the mackerel are back. Bill's Sport
Shop reported mackerel at both A
and B Buoy, including some cita-
tion-size mackerel.
Bill's also reports that Kerry
Lodish landed a 30-inch long
striper on a white bucktail and
worm. Some stripers are being re-
ported in Delaware Bay and at the
Inlet on either bucktails or live
eels. The fishing isn't sizzling, but
it's improving.
R&R Sports Center reminds
readers that the limit on tautog is
reduced during the spring spawn-
ing season. They report mackerel
around Five Fathom Bank, large
bluefish being caught in nets, im-
proved tautog fishing and good
freshwater action for bass and
white perch. Perch are being
caught in the Broadkill and Drew
Wilson (5.16-pounds) and Scott
Stevenson (5.31-pounds) caught
trophy largemouths.
By the way, the current limit on
tautog is only three fish with a 15
inch minimum.
Please observe the limit. Tog
are very susceptible to overfish-
ing pressure.
