ON THE EAST COAST OF FLORIDA. 205 



NEW RIVER INLET AND SOUND. 



RAILROAD STATION, FORT LAUDERDALE, THREE HUNDRED 

 AND FORTY-ONE MILES FROM JACKSONVILLE. 



When I first visited this sound I had good success, but during the 

 past three years have not done well. This and Hillsboro Sound have 

 been fished during the past few years for market with gill nets and 

 seines, so the sport fishing has been very much lessened. This sound 

 is hardly worth visiting at present time. The season same as Lake 

 Worth, and the fishes same as Hillsboro Sound. 



There are many patches and reefs from one-fourth to one mile off 

 shore, all the way between Lake Worth and Biscayne Bay, where the 

 usual variety of reef fishes are caught, and trolling for Kingfish, 

 Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish and Groupers, in their season, is good. 

 Barracuda, Cavalle, Runners, etc., are caught in the surf all the way. 



SNAKE CREEK, ARCH CREEK, LITTLE RIVER. 



Snake Creek is the lower, or southern, end of the canal. Arch 

 Creek is a fresh-water stream emptying into Biscayne Bay, and Little 

 River is two or three miles south of Arch Creek. There is said to 

 be Snappers in all of these creeks, but, as we have never fished there, 

 can give no opinion in the matter.
