BASS FISHING WITH THE MINNOW 1 5/ 



threading large worms on it, making a loose tie at 

 intervals, and so continuing till a large, hideous 

 squirming mass of worms is formed, more or less 

 in the form of a ball. This is thrown overboard, 

 attached to a stout line, and, as the fish bite, is 

 hauled up quickly, but not too hurriedly. The 

 fish are too voracious to let go, and, their teeth 

 being sharp, they are drawn up, and can be lifted 

 into the boat. Of course a lartcrn is necessary 

 in all these night excursions. I cannot say I par- 

 ticularly care for this kind of sport, but it is some- 

 times amusing when no other is available.
