ON THE EAST COAST OF FLORIDA. 159 



Red and white cloth cut in strips, laid together four to five inches 

 long, fastened on to a 10$ hook, makes a fine trolling bait for Group- 

 ers and Bluefish ; and other fish take it well. 



A long strip of Kingfish, cut to resemble a fish, fastened firmly 

 on a large hook, does well. 



Some sportsmen use a piece of red cedar, cut to resemble a fish, 

 which is a good trolling bait. For Spanish Mackerel, the 3-inch 

 squid is the best of all.
