Angling on the 

 East Coast 



In the Lagoons 



Favorite Fish and Fishing 



visits Cocoanut Grove, my old friend, 

 Charles Peacock, will put him on to the 

 best fishing grounds. 



The best salt-water fishing on the east 

 coast is at the various inlets, though good 

 fishing is found also in the lagoons and in 

 the fresh water streams emptying into them. 

 My own experience begins with Mayport 

 at the mouth of St. John's River. Here and 

 at most of the inlets to the south can be 

 found redfish, spotted weakfish or sea-trout, 

 sheepshead, drum, snooks, together with 

 such smaller species as pinfish, pigfish, 

 croakers, flounders, etc. 



At St. Augustine there is fair fishing at 

 the inlet and in Matanzas River. Near 

 Ormond and Daytona on Halifax River, 

 and below at Mosquito Inlet, the angler 

 will be well rewarded. Fair fishing may 

 also be found on Hillsboro River near New 

 Smyrna and Oak Hill. Some sport is still 

 to be had in the neighborhood of Titusville, 

 on Banana River and Banana Creek. 



Back of Rockledge are lakes Poinsett 

 and Wilder, abounding in black bass. Sev-
