90 SCIENCE OF FISHING. 



If you are a live bait user you will want a minnow trap. 

 There are several good glass traps which if baited with 

 cracker crumbs and let down into suitable water for a day 

 or a night will catch plenty of small fish for bait. They 

 also catch crawfish sometimes. There is a device that can be 

 fitted into the mouth of a common glass fruit jar and makes 

 a very good minnow trap. 



Some anglers prefer to use a net for catching minnows. 

 One of the nicest of these works like an umbrella and occu- 

 pies but small space when not in use. The net is also useful 

 for catching crawfish. 



A Chain Fish Stringer. 



If you have any fishing tackle worth mentioning you 

 will want a tackle box in which to keep it and in which to 

 carry it when going on a fishing trip or out on the water in 

 a boat. Nothing is more annoying than to not be able to 

 find some very much-needed article when getting ready for 

 fishing and especially so if you are wanting to get an early 

 start to the fishing place and have slept a little too long. 

 Of course a prudent angler will not wait until morning to 

 get his outfit together, but he wants it all together just the 

 same, and you will want some means of carrying it all when 

 going on a fishing trip. Then again you want it all together
