SOUTHERN STATES. 



Tarpon fishing — for which the waters of the southern coast are most 

 widely celebrated — may be had at its best along the shores of Florida. 

 Several of the prominent resorts are on the gulf coast, in the vicinity of 

 Apalachicola, Cedar Keys, Punta Rassa, Homosassa, Pensacola, Tampa, 

 Charlotte Harbor, Tarpon Springs, and Naples. The tarpon is also found 

 along the coast of Louisiana and Texas, where it is known, locally, as the 

 " Grand Ecaille" (pronounced " grandykye," and signifying large scale 

 fish), and in some fishing towns it is termed the "savonilla." 



Other popular sea fishes — notably the Spanish mackerel, sheepshead, 

 sea bass, etc. — are caught in abundance near Mobile, Ala. ; Braidentown, 

 Cedar Keys, Indian River, Jacksonville, Key West, New Smyrna, Pensa- 

 cola, and St. Augustine, Fla. ; Brunswick, Darien, and Savannah, Ga.; New 

 Orleans, La.; Mississippi City, Miss.; New Berne, Rodanthe, and Wil-
