The Amber Jacks 



The yellowtail is so common in these waters that 

 if fished for in the eastern fashion with handlines, a 

 boatload could be taken; but the nine-ounce rod and 

 number-nine line prevails, and fifteen or twenty 

 minutes are devoted to the catch which comes slowly 

 up through the blue water like a star. Four or five 

 such fishes satisfy the most ardent angler along these 

 isles of eternal summer.
