Carnot with the turlute, or jigger, a large oval piece of bright metal, or a bit of 

 mirror glass in metal frame, with half a dozen hooks at various angles. This is 

 used on a trace of salmon gut, with white hooks at short intervals above the 

 jigger and a piece of blood-red silk on each. The jigger also takes cod, 

 whiting, flat fish, and eels occasionally. One salmon-trout at any rate has

been taken, live-baiting with sardine. Grey mullet are more often seen than 



caught. 



At Biarritz, in the company of the Basque fishers, I have had excellent 



whiting-fishing in March in a boat about two miles from the port. Some of 

 the fish weighed as much as two pounds, and we caught over 

 six score in a couple of hours. The two stone piers bristle at 



almost all times of year with very long rods, on which the Basque amateurs 



catch bass, mackerel and large weevers.
