Outboard Motor as an Adjunct to the Fisherman 
By H. G. Canda 
Time was, and not so long ago, when, if one 
stood on the shore of any of the coast towns, 
where fishermen and oystermen went forth to 
their catch at the break of day, all was still. The 
baymen slipped out from the shores like shad¬ 
ows, pulling at the ash propeller. Over the 
After the Fishing Season is Over Come Ducks. 
stern hung pike poles, oyster rakes and whatnot. 
Half the day’s labor and time was spent getting 
to and from the bivalve beds or fishing grounds. 
Nowadays, if one gets up at the first streak of 
dawn and hies him to the shore, he is greeted, 
not with silence but with the put-put of hun¬ 
dreds of little portable motors that have come 
to save hours of time and enable the fisherman 
to make two trips or more a day to the grounds, 
increase his haul and—perhaps—reduce to all of 
us “the high cost of living"—on fish. This much 
the little outboard has done for the man who 
furnishes our dinner accessory and Friday bill 
• f fare. 
But what of the man who fishes for the joy of 
the catch rather than for the catch? Here too 
the outboard has found ready welcome. Many 
of us have forgone the pleasure of a day at the 
"outside buoy” for black fishing, because it was 
‘too far to row." Now we “hook her over the 
stern” and before we realize it, we have hooked 
a three pounder and, when the catch is aplenty— 
if the fish have been generous to us—it’s a turn 
of the "starter wheel,” up anchor and—well, we 
have had the fun of the kill without being killed 
to have the fun. 
Another item, not to be overlooked, is the in¬ 
dispensability of the “handy kicker” for striped 
bass trolling. This sport holds it all over any 
other salt water angling, excepting for the work 
attached to it—now “IT” is attached to the work.

Among the Lily Pods. 
Two miles to the grounds, covered in a half 
hour, then instead of miles of pulling, to and 
fro, over the waters along the sedge, we stop 
the motor down to its minimum and cover every 
likely spot, no matter how many times we have 
to go over it, where, when we “burned to the 
ash,” many a likely spot was passed up because 
we didn’t feel like going back. Mr. Bass seems 
not to scare at the little commotion passing over 
or past him, while the steady pven travel of the 
bait bring out his striped highness, where he re¬ 
fused the seduction of the wiggler trolled by the 
uneven pull of the oarsman. If no other thing 
had been accomplished by the “carry it home 
with you” motor, we striped trollers would take 
off our hats for that alone, but the togue or lake 
trout troller, the man who fishes without a guide 
—and now all hands have passed the buck to the 
oar-pulling Indian—has come into his own. 
This delightful pastime was shied at by the lake 
angler, either because he objected to giving up 
his good coin to a lazy “guide” or because he ob¬ 
jected to shoving the lake behind with oars or 
paddle. With his little “any-body-can-run-it” 
merrily chugging over the stern, he has a day’s 
pleasure, whether the silly old togue fawns on his 
offerings or not. The day in the canoe or boat, 
chased around by the outboard, is a delight in 
itself.
