FILEY, ETC. YARMOUTH. DOVER. 29 



Bahama Bank is six miles from Ramsay Pier, and between it 

 and the shore is some stony ground where Pollack or Lythe 

 are very large. There is good fishing also in Douglas and 

 other bays, and Cod and Haddock are taken in the offing. 

 Small Freshwater Eels and worms are procurable in the mouths 

 of the rivers which form the various harbours of the island, but 

 for ground fishing Herring is chiefly used. 



Filey, Yorkshire. Although my remarks on fishing stations 

 have chiefly been confined to those I have myself visited, Filey 

 has been so frequently recommended by correspondents of the 

 ' Field ' newspaper, that I think it well to mention it here. It 

 offers special advantages for both fishing from the shore with 

 rod and line, and also for boat-fishing. At times many Pollack 

 and Coal-fish are caught from the Brig, which is a reef of 

 rocks running out into the sea a considerable distance, and 

 forming as it were a kind of natural jetty or pier, with deep 

 water alongside. The fish often run very large, and extra 

 strong tackle is necessary, with fifty or sixty yards of running 

 line. All the rocky ground about the Brig affords good Pollack- 

 fishing from a boat by the various methods described in this 

 work, with either natural or artificial baits. The method of 

 fishing with the living Sand-Eel, if procurable, would afford 

 sport unattainable by other baits. 



Tynemouth. Good pier-fishing, also in the offing. 



Bridlington, Sea-fishing good. 



Flamborough Head. Large Whiting-Pollack, with spin- 

 ning baits or flies, from the rocks, or better from a boat. 



Good fishing from the piers and in the offing, at both 

 Scarborough and Whitby. 



Yarmouth and Lowestoft Fishing from the beaches and 

 piers, with throw-out lines, and variety of fishing in boats, 

 Whiting plentiful,. Cod and Codlings late in autumn and early 

 winter. 



Dover. Mullet, Pout, Smelts, Whiting-Coal, Codlings, 

 and occasional Bass from the jetties, by angling with lug- 

 worm bait, found between the rocks under the cliff. Whiting 

 also from the end of the Admiralty Pier ; Mullet, Flounders, 

 and Eels in the harbour. Whiffing with flies along the break-
