372 APPENDIX 



in taking a large fish, stand a lieavy strain; and a poor reel 

 or a cheap reel, will often go to pieces like the one-horse shay. 

 There are a number of dealers in New York and other places 

 who make good reels, which are kept in stock by Mr. A. A. 

 Carraher and Mr. WilUam Hunt, who have large outfitting 

 houses at Avalon, Santa Catalina Island, Their advice can be 

 depended upon, as they are themselves practical anglers. Vom 

 Hofe, Abby, and Imbrey, Chubb, Roy Shaver, Murphy, and 

 various other makers, build rods and reels for the peculiar sea- 

 angUng of the Channel Islands. 



CLUB MEMBERS 



The Tuna Club has members in almost every American, and 

 a nmnber of large European cities, and if the would-be angler, 

 living in the East or Europe, will address a fine to the Secretary 

 of the Tuna Club, Avalon, California, he will be given the 

 address, in many instances, of a club member in his own city, 

 who will, with the camaraderie of anglers, give any information 

 he can. 



BOATMEN 



All the boatmen at the islands have tackle, and this is included 

 in the price of the trip; the understanding being that if the 

 angler uses the often light and often expensive tackle, he must 

 pay for it if it is broken. Every angler should own his sea- 

 angling tackle, three or four reels, three or four rods, a trunk 

 for hooks. Hues, etc., as this feature is, beyond question, half 

 the sport. 



HOW TO REACH THE CHANNEL ISLANDS 



If the angler is on the Continent, he can obtain full particu- 

 lars of the best modes of travel by addressing Mr. Rudolph 

 Falck, at any of the following offices, where may be obtained 

 the pubHcations of the Tuna Club and its branches: London,
