Bait Angling for Common Fishes 



All the hooks should, however, be as near 

 the bottom as possible, for that reason a 

 small wire spreader can be attached, where- 

 by the three hooks can be tied all of even 

 length from the wire about six inches, the 

 same distance as the sinker. The flounder 

 is so numerous that they may be caught 

 anywhere if the bottom is suited to their 

 habits. Like the plaice, they are ever ready 

 to bite at all times during the day or night, 

 and wind and tide play no part in the suc- 

 cess of their capture.
