KINKS OF ALL KINDS

I sewed a button on the shorter 

 side, buttoned it shut and it was 

 done. I made my carrier out of 

 a small tube and it holds two min- 

 nows easily. If desired a larger 

 tube can be used and a seam 

 sewed through it lengthwise, di- 

 viding it into two compartments : 

 If you wish, the lower end may 

 be vulcanized shut. This makes 

 a neater job, but is no more serv- 

 iceable. The hooks do not catch 

 in the rubber or penetrate through 

 it easily and it takes up less space 

 than any carrier I have ever used. 



UNHOOKING THE BULL- 

 HEAD 



BY Jos. GIERISCH 

 Bullheads are such slippery fel- 

 lows and capable of inflicting 

 such mean wounds with their 

 "horns" that taking them off of the 

 hook is not the easiest matter in 

 the world. To make things worse, 

 they have a habit, when they take 

 a hook, of swallowing it way out 



of sight. The following method 

 will make the hook extraction 

 comparatively simple : Place in- 

 dex finger of left hand behind 

 fin A in diagram and second 



ringer behind fin B. This leaves 

 the thumb of the left hand free to 

 force open the lower jaw at C, 

 while the right hand manipulates 

 the hook. 



AN EASILY MADE LIVE 

 BOX 



BY E. H. COULTAS 



There are many different styles 



of good live boxes. A very handy 



one can be made in a short time 



if you happen to have an old pack- 



ing case and an auger. Cleat the 

 top of the case for a cover and 

 hinge it with a couple of bits of 

 leather strap if you have nothing 

 better. Get a couple of rough 

 logs and nail one on either side 

 of the box as shown in the dia- 

 gram to serve as floats. Put 

 through the spikes to hold these 

 log floats, from the inside. With 

 the auger bore holes in sides, ends 

 and bottoms to provide for circu- 

 lation of water. Put a hasp on 

 the cover and the job is done. 



Just anchor this box anywhere 

 that the wave action will not bat- 

 ter it to pieces. When you want 

 to take out your fish don't bother 

 trying to net them. Just drag the 

 box ashore. The water will drain
