FISHING 



or any of the other sporting goods dealers will 

 supply the right tackle. Here is a list of tackle 

 such as I should equip myself with : 



Stiff rod six feet long; 



One good winch capable of taking two hundred 

 yards of line ; 



Two hundred yards medium linen line ; 



Steel wire ; 



One-half to three-quarter inch swivels ; 



Round flat leads suitable for bending (ordinary 

 sheet lead will do) ; 



Hooks Nos. 2 and 5 for large fish, Nos. 8 and 10 

 for smaller fish, Nos. 15 and 20 for bait catch- 

 ing, and a few of the smallest hooks obtainable 

 for fishing with thread over coral rocks; 



One reel of strongest thread ; 



Pliers and wire cutter ; 



One good, strong knife ; 



One small hatchet; 



One small file for sharpening hooks; 



Spoon baits, and perhaps a flight to spin a natural 

 bait.
