SANTA CATALINA ISLAND 



what weight of fish you will fish for without 

 being surprised by a mackerel shark or a 

 fifty-pound amberjack, as often happens in 

 Florida. 



In the latter case light tackle would be 

 of no more service than it would be at 

 Catalina if one-hundred-and-fifty-pound 

 tuna were taking freely. 



The charm of fishing in the waters of the 

 Channel Islands of California is the fact 

 that the tuna and yellowtail run in schools 

 of an average weight, and a fisherman may 

 suit his tackle to the fish that are running 

 at the time.
