SOME FISH AND SOME FISHING 



The launch is then started at a good pace 

 and as soon as the leading line becomes taut 

 the sled races along abreast of the boat in 

 gallant style and the bait skitters and 

 bounds from wave to wave. 



When a fish strikes, your line pulls free 

 but the impetus of the sled is such that the 

 fish seldom escapes being hooked. 



The sled does not frighten the fish in the 

 least. Marlin have been known to follow 

 and strike it and yellowtail to chase in hot 

 pursuit. 



By this method the boatman can place the 

 bait wherever it is wanted. 



In yellowtail fishing the bait can be 

 trolled along the edge of the kelp, which the 

 yellowtail frequent, and this cannot be done 

 by ordinary means as the kelp fouls the 

 propeller of the launch. 



These methods of fishing are full of move- 

 ment and are most amusing as well as suc- 

 cessful ways of taking both tuna and 

 yellowtail.
