TRIBE OF ESOX

knot was about two inches inside the tip 
guide of the rod. Suddenly there was a 
vicious rush and the knot fouled the tip 
guide of the rod and jerked the tip-sec- 
tion out of its socket. As the line taught- 
ened up on the stiff lower sections of 
the rod there was a sharp jerk and the 
fish was gone, the hook breaking short 
off at the curve. 
'"THERE are several kinds of bait to 
1 choose from, and it is hard to rec- 
ommend any particular one. Silversides 
and redfins can be caught easily in the 
river by means of small drop-nets baited 
with bread crumbs. The latter are the 
hardier of the two and more lively on 
the hook. They should not be less than 
four inches in length and the larger the 
better. Small whitefish and yellow perch 
are sometimes used, as are also chub. 
One of the most successful baits, how- 
ever, was found to he small suckers 
caught in the little creeks tributary to the 
river, but these are hard to get and usu- 
ally it requires a day’s excursion for the 
bait alone. 
Artificial baits and spoons are looked 
upon askance by the boatmen for three 
reasons : They are not considered sports- 
manlike. They are not very effective 
for Muskalonge and will only take one 
on a fluke. And, lastly, it is hard work 
to row steadily all day at the speed nec- 
essary to keep a couple of heavy spoons 
in action. 
The method used in fishing is to fol- 
low the edges of the channels, especially 
where the current is a little strong, due 
to the islands narrowing the channels. 
The great fish pass up and down, and 
feed and hunt in the slack water just 
above or below the rifts. This is a good 
hint, hut not infallible, as the fish may 
be found wherever the water deepens 
sharply. Of course, freak catches are 
made in shallow water, but invariably 
the fish are small. It is best to troll and 
move from one location to another. 
About seventy-five to one hundred feet 
of line should be let out and the boat 
rowed very slowly so that the bait will 
have freedom to swim from side to side 
and wiggle as much as possible. Pull 
off about six feet of slack from the reel 
and hold the line over the tip of the 
forefinger so that the play of the bait 
may be felt at all times. 
When a fish strikes let the line run as 
freely as possible and swing the tip of 
the rod so that it points directly along 
the line in the direction of the pull. Let 
the fish run on his strike until he stops 
or slackens and then snub sharply to 
drive the hook home securely. Then the 
fight is on and each fisherman must use 
his own judgment and best skill. 
No two Muskalonge fight alike, and 
one must be ready for every trick that 
the fish knows. As a general rule, they 
fight deep and pull steadily until they 
begin to see that mere power will not 
free them. Then come the short dashes, 
circling, breaking water and doubling 
identify you.
