THE ANNOYING 
DROSS OF THE SEA 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 301) 
peculiar habit of rolling itself up until 
it is almost spherical in form, and will 
remain motionless in that position for a 
long time if not touched. This habit 
Has earned for it the name of “possum” 
and it is generally so dubbed by fisher- 
men in all localities. It is worthless 
from all points of view and a great dis- 
turber of the angler’s peace of mind 
who, imagining his bait to be in the best 
possible condition to lure a prize fish, 
sometimes finds that it has been gorged 
by this plundering little devil. 
It is omnipresent day and night, and 
has a penchant for any bait that can 
be put on a hook. No matter what 
size hook may be in use, this little 
brute can negotiate it with ease and 
rarely misses becoming a victim. It 
makes no difference whether the hook 
be of the largest bass size or the very 
small size designed for lesser quarry. 
He appears to never quit swallowing. 
Once inside the jaws the hook proceeds 
downward until it reaches the point 
where his suspender buttons should be 
worn, and it becomes necessary for the 
chagrinned fisherman to perform a ma- 
jor operation with his fish knife. This 
is rather a serious matter if the night 
be dark and there is no lantern handy. 
Following this evil one comes the 
larger summer skate which is not near- 
ly so numerous and consequently not 
so much of a pest. This one, with the 
great barn-door skate, may be discussed 
in common as their habits are identical, 
and both have the same diabolical pro- 
pensity for swallowing the bait to the 
farthest possible limit. When this is 
the case, care should be exercised in re- 
moving the hook, as the rough, horn- 
like jaws of the barn-door are capable of 
working serious injury to the hand if it 
should be seized, as they are capable of 
crushing the shells of crabs and clams 
in their formidable grinders. 
This species is rarely met with along 
the beach until the water cools down 
in the autumn. It ’s a scavenger of 
pronounced type, disposing of much 
offal cast overboard from fishing boats 
and nets. 
What are termed the wings of this 
skate are edible and are sent to the 
markets by the commercial fishermen. 
They are said to be very palatable, but 
the answer never interests himself in 
that direction; he is content to have 
his tackle free after working: a possible 
forty or more pounds of animated 
worthlessness to the beach. 
L AST, but by no means the least, 
comes the sting: ray or stingaree as 
it is e-enerally termed. This is a 
hie:hly dangerous snecies and is worthy 
of a complete description. They do not 
appear to be common north of Sandy 
Hook, but are caue:ht in the pound nets 
along the entire New Jersey coast dur- 
ing the Summer and Autumn months, 
and are a great, as well as a serious, 
nuisance to fishermen around Bamegat 
and Ee-a: Harbor Inlets.
