FOREST & STREAM (Book Dept.) 
9 East 40th Street New York City 
In Writing to Advertisers mention Forest and Stream. It will 
but as yet I have never had to use it. 
At times sharks prove very annoying 
and troublesome to anglers in search of 
other fish, and two examples' of this 
come to mind as I write. Four of us 
were fishing “down Barnegat way” and 
were having great sport with the weaks, 
when without warning we all began to 
lose both our fish and our rigs. After 
several rigs had been stolen, and as we 
knew pretty well what the trouble must 
be we hunted up an old bit of shark 
tackle that we had on board. Baiting 
the big cast-iron hook with three whole 
weakfish, and attaching one end of the 
rope to our sheet-traveler, we dropped 
the rig over the side of the yacht and 
awaited results. In less than ten minutes 
we hauled that shark by brute force into 
the boat, killed him with a marlin spike 
and started in with our weak-fishing 
again, this time without interruption. 
He was just short of seven feet in length. 
The other example of this faculty for 
making trouble was a day that six of us 
were fishing in Boca Grande Pass on 
the Gulf coast of Florida. The tarpon 
were striking very briskly, and the six 
of us at the end of the day had hooked 
thirty-nine fish; of these, four were 
successfully landed, seven broke loose 
from natural causes, while the amazing 
total of twenty-eight were taken, in 
whole or in part, by various sharks. In 
practically every instance the tarpon 
would be bitten in half, leaving the for- 
ward parts to be dragged to the boat by 
the disgusted angler. I had brought one 
of my fish up to within fifteen feet of the 
boat and thought my troubles with him 
were over when a monster hammerhead 
came up under him and with a vicious 
snap and shake tore off more than two- 
thirds of the unfortunate tarpon. What 
I thought at about that time would fill a 
volume, but what I actually said could be 
put in a single word ! 
In closing this article, a few words of 
advice to beginners might not come 
amiss. It is well to remember that a 
small skiff is a very tricky craft, and also 
that a large shark is a powerful and 
speedy brute. Two things that should 
always be close at hand in the boat are 
a large, sharp knife and a good life pre- 
server; the former to cut the fish loose 
with if such a course becomes necessary, 
and the latter in case the cutting loose 
process has been too long delayed and a 
capsize has resulted. This is no small 
matter when it occurs in a pass or inlet 
with a four or five-knot tide running. 
It is also well to use great care in coiling 
the recovered line when placing it in the 
receptacle provided for it, as any sudden 
change of tactics by the fish might re- 
quire its rapid paying out, and a snarl 
that blocked its free running would be 
most disastrous.
