g2 HUNTING AND FISHING IN FLORIDA. 
boats and men may 
be obtained by those 
desiring either fresh 
or salt water fishing. 
The sport, especially 
for Kingfish, can 
hardly be excelled, 
as catches number- 
ing as high as 120 
fish or more have 
been taken by one 
boat ina day. Va- 
rious other kinds of 
salt water fish are caught in great numbers, including Bluefish, 
Spanish Mackerel, Sea-bass, and at times the huge Jew-fish. 
For Black Bass fishing the fresh water lake west of Lake Worth 
is of easy access, as a shell road has been built directly to it. 
South and west of Palm 
Beach lies a hunting country 
‘par excellence.” Beyond 
the lake, in the country west 
of Palm Beach, from Jupiter 
Creek (Loxahatchee) south- 
ward, game is still abundant. 
From Lantana, on Lake 
Worth, one may drive on the 
country road (which extends 
to Biscayne Bay) south to 
Hillsboro River, a distance of 
about twenty miles, and find 
good deer shooting in that 
vicinity. If one desires a 
camping trip along the Ever- 
glades, he should leave the. 
county road about half way to 
AN UNFAIR FIGHT. 
OPOSSUM.
