66 ANGLING IN SALT WATER. 



THE TURBOT. 



THE best bait for Turbot is a piece of Whiting, 

 Herring*, or Smelt. Sometimes Turbot are 

 hooked which will weigh upwards of twenty 

 pounds, therefore a strong line is necessary, 

 but use a small hook, say No. 3, as the mouth 

 of the Turbot is small. Always angle for 

 Turbot from a boat. The Turbot frequents the 

 flats and shallows of the coast; and they are 

 held in the highest esteem as a delicacy.
