PHE The most popular pastime while at sea during the MEF 2-87 deployment had to be salt water shing. Thanks to the Welfare and Recreation department those who didn't bring fishing gear with em were able to check out a pole and tackle box for a few hours. BTC Rolle, HTCS Chancellor and 'MCS Iverstine was usually on hand during fishing hours to lend advice or a helping hand to the eginning fisherman. Fishing in the Persian Gulf was surprisingly good. Crewmembers caught sharks, groupers, ocean Catfish, marlin, sailfish and a few aquatic creatures nobody could identify. TCM Thomas and HTCS Chancellor appeared on SITE TV to put out a few fishing tips and wam of he dangers of catching sea snakes. All in all, the lishermen of Coontz turned out to be fairly Jroductive: so many fish were caught in one week that a fish frywas held on the Steel Beach, and 1obody went hungry. i K 1 1 s 4 ERICAN SPQRTS If 1, A 64 N' ,-.-.wg V- 4, .-,. .,., -- -vv-., ,44- - .-n.a.,.,..-, - . . , -,. b .. ,... , ..,...,-..,.,...........-N-.-.......,.., ....,-..-4---N.-.I ,.
