FOREST AND STREAM 
Junk, 1920 
Long Island and New Jersey coast resorts form an irresistible appeal to the surf, lake and 
stream fisherman. Surf fishing, of course, dominates. Practically any part of the hundreds 
of miles of coast-line affords choice streams for the disciple of this form of sport.

FISH AND GAME LAWS 
There are no conservation rules to be observed in surf fishing. In the channels and inlets 
tributary to the coast-line the same rule prevails. Sportsmen are free to come and go as 
they please without thought of license or rules of the game other than true sport. 
“Please, Mr. Adams, don’t let me lose 
that fish. I’ll never hook another like 
him, never.” As it once more swayed 
beyond the reach of the net he said 
plaintively: “Won’t you please pray, Mr. 
Woodhull, you ain’t busy.” It is doubt- 
ful if the boy was really aware of just 
what he was saying, so absorbed was he 
in the capture and so fearful the fish 
would escape. At last, however, the net 
was worked under its head and with a 
quick lift the body slid in and laid in the 
boat. Matt’s ecstasies knew no bounds. 
He was on his knees beside the fish and 
had taken its measure several times with 
his outstretched hands. “I’d a’ never 
b’lieved there was such a fish in all crea- 
tion; ’cept a whale,” he said. The carp 
would weigh fully eighteen pounds and 
was a fine specimen in all particulars. 
Well might the boy be proud. Mr. Wood- 
hull later took one of about twelve pounds 
and was correspondingly happy. As they 
rowed down to the landing place, Mr. 
Adams said: “Carp is one of the most 
widely diffused fishes on the globe, and 
embraces a very numerous family, some 
of which are very small, such as the gold- 
fish kept in glass jars as pets.” Mr. 
Adams gave his carp to the man who 
owned the property and kept the crap- 
pies for his own eating. Owing to the 
weight of Matt’s fish he very kindly 
drove down to the cottage with him as 
much to see the exhibition Matt would 
make before his aunt with his giant 'fish 
as anything else. She was out in the 
yard as he drove up and as it was not 
dark yet, Matt called, as he hung the fish 
over his shoulder, “Aunt Mary, I got 
him.” “Well, for land sakes,” she said, 
“what is it? How’d you get it?” “I 
ketched him,” said the boy. “You never 
done no such thing, Matt Buckley,” she 
said spitefully, “I didn’t know there was 
such fish outen’ the ocean.” “Sposen you 
hadn’t a let me gone,” said Matt. 
THE TOWN RIFLE 
CLUB 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 312) 
ing member who appears on the range 
regularly as a matter of choice and not 
as a matter of duty. And above all, 
never for a moment forget that while 
there are always many ready and anxious 
to criticize, men are few and hard to find 
who possess the initiative and ability to 
take hold of a proposition and handle it 
successfully, and in this respect a rifle 
club is no different from any other form 
of human endeavor. 
Publicity: The sole purpose ef a news- 
paper is to print news and everything 
your club does is news, its orgasization, 
meetings, progress, shoots and other ac- 
tivities. If possible sign up a reporter 
as a member, or appoint some chap with 
journalistic experience to get up a weekly 
“story” for the local paper; then see the 
editor, explain what you are doing and 
frankly ask him to help you. Be abso- 
lutely accurate and honest in reporting 
your activities and remember rhetoric is 
not news, that the paper is only inter- 
ested in what took place and will not give 
-space to long-winded personal opinions.
