July, 1920 
FOREST AND STREAM

something bit every ten minutes all day 
long. If the fish are not biting, a snooze 
is mighty welcome, and for this my baker 
tent scintillates, for its mosquito sides 
keep out beach flies yet let the breeze 
blow through all day. Closed tents are 
mere bake-ovens in the day time. We go 
for a swim, borrow a boat and go bay 
fishing, sleep, or cook and putter about 
camp until sundown, when all hands 
make for the beach for the evening’s 
fishing, and that is no time to be cooking 
supper or getting bedding ready. All 
that should have been done during the 
slack hours, for fishing is the main busi- 
ness of the salt water camp. 
For a crowd, and, say, a week’s stay, 
we take the heavier outfit, large tents 
and tent cots if possible, and come down 
in a hired power boat which will come 
for us at some later period. The bass 
outfit described above does very well, if 
supplemented by a wind-break, and board 
floors around the cook site. A cook table 
is built with another one for eating. Even 
in July you want at least two pairs of 
blankets, for the nights are cold and the 
wind howling over the dunes. And, for 
fishing do not forget a sweater and rub- 
ber boots, the former to keep you warm 
at night when standing silent, pole in 
hand, and the latter essential where the 
surf is likely to come upon you unawares. 
For clothing for all these camps, I 
prefer a rainproof canvas jacket, canvas 
hat, sweater, wool shirt, wool breeches, 
socks, bandana in place of a necktie, and 
at least two pairs of cheap cotton gloves 
to protect my hands against fire, hot 
cooking utensils, insects and cold. The 
first pair will generally get worn out or 
burnt or lost before the trip is half over. 
I take at least four pairs of wool socks, 
but no extra underclothes or shirt. If 
an upset or some other catastrophe oc- 
curs that wets you to the skin, it’s time 
to build a conflagration and dry out the 
whole business! 
WHERE THE GAMY 
ROCK BASS HIDE 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 398) 
The lightest test line that can be found 
will be heavy enough for your use. A 
single, light gut, number 4 snelled hook 
of a regular bass pattern is the best 
choice for that end of the business. Take 
along a light net. I don’t recommend it 
particularly for the rock bass as a man 
can usually land this fish better without 
one but one always stands the chance of 
meeting up with a small-mouth bass that 
would call strongly for a net before con- 
senting to leave his lonesome Home. 
More could be written about this fish 
of the little, wooded streams. Sooner or 
later all who answer to the call of the 
rod and reel will meet this noble little 
gentleman of rare streams and form a 
lasting and appreciable acquaintanceship. 
In Hongkong Harbor 
In Far Eastern ports, darting among 
ocean liners and native junks, many 
small boats, powered by Evinrude Mo- 
tors, ply theii way between shore and 
ship 
— while on the inland lakes and 
streams of America, thousands of 
sport-lovers are enjoying hunting, 
fishing and pleasure trips, without the 
tedious work of rowing — Evinruding! 
An Evinrude is attached quickly and 
easily to any rowboat or canoe. Mag- 
neto, built-in-flywheel type, and Auto- 
matic Reserve are standard Evinrude 
refinements.
