HUNTING AND FISHING IN FLORIDA. 



AN UNFAIR FIi;HT. 



L' boats and men may 



be obtained by those 

 ' . '-'•^iMifliHll desiring either fresh 

 or salt water fishing. 

 The sport, especially 

 f o r Kingfish, can 

 hardly be excelled, 

 as catches number- 

 ing as high as 120 

 fish or more have 

 been taken b}^ one 

 boat in a day. Va- 

 rious other kinds of 



salt water fish are caught in great numbers, including Bluefish, 



Spanish Mackerel, Sea-bass, and at times the huge Jew-fish. 



For Black Bass fishing the fresh water lake west of Lake Worth 



is of easy access, as a shell road has been built directly to it. 

 South and west of Palm 



Beach lies a hunting country 



"par excellence." Beyond 



the lake, in the country west 



of Palm Beach, from Jupiter 



Creek (Loxahatchee) south- 

 ward, game is still abundant. 

 From Lantana, on Lake 



Worth, one may drive on the 



country road (which extends 



to Biscayne Bay) south to 



Hillsboro River, a distance of 



about twenty miles, and find 



t£ood deer shooting in that 



vicinity. If one desires a 



camping trip along the Ever- 

 glades, he should leave the 



county road about half way to 



OPOSSUM.
