ON THE EAST COAST OF FLORIDA. 189 



THE "HAULOVER." 



This is the canal, about three-fourths of a mile long, between the 

 lagoon and Indian River. Before the marketmen commence their 

 work in the fall, usually about November 1st, there is very good 

 fishing in the canal, and at its northern entrance ; usually not good 

 at its southern entrance. Formerly I have caught Channel Bass up 

 to twenty-five pounds and Spotted Trout up to twelve pounds in the 

 canal. Recently, success can be expected only at season above 

 stated.
