THE CHANNEL BASS- 
A SUPER GAME FISH 
(continued from page 409) 
the large specimens which range along the 
coast that homage is particularly due. 
Channel bass are rarely met with north 
of the north shore of Barnegat; while an 
occasional fish may be seen by the angler 
north of this point, the circumstance is 
rare enough to make an endeavor to catch 
them there usually fruitless. While what 
is termed the north point of beach at Bar¬ 
negat is at times good grounds, points to 
the south are much surer to give results. 
Barnegat City, Harvey’s Cedars, Ships’ 
Bottom, Holgate, New Inlet, Corson’s In¬ 
let, Ocean City and Townsend’s Inlet are 
perhaps the best points for the bass fish¬ 
ing. When no fish are met with at any of 
these points, to try elsewhere is useless. 
In passing, it may be permissable to say 
that at New Inlet the chance for success 
is better than at any of the other points. 
This body of water lies seven miles to the 
south of Beach Haven and has a channel 
depth of about fifty feet at high water. 
It is fast becoming the most cherished spot 
on the New Jersey coast, though it is ac¬ 
cessible only by boat, from Beach Haven 
and there is not a habitation in sight of 
the beach. But the peculiar curve of the 
beach, where the sea bends in and forms 
a very deep channel, makes it possible to 
fish from this point in heavy weather when 
it would be utterly impossible to do so 
from almost any other spot on the entire 
coast. And it possesses another charm: 
The fish are always there. And they are 
there in a variety making it an ideal place 
for the ardent lover of the rod. 
Dr. J. C. Kenworthy, writing to The 
American Angler in 1888, said of this fish 
that “it will readily take the fly or spinner 
in the tide-ways of the Southern waters, 
and is a fish never to be forgotten when 
once its delights have been experienced.” 
He says further that no one, so far as he 
is able to learn, “has taken the channel bass 
on rod and reel in the open ocean,” but 
that were it possible it should afford most 
exciting sport. Comment on this last as¬ 
pect of the matter would be unnecessary, 
while we can invite all skeptics to come 
and see for themselves. 
I N fishing from the beach, much the same 
tackle as is used for striped bass is in 
vogue, and the same general manner of 
casting is adopted. But there is this differ¬ 
ence : While the points of bars and flats are 
ideal places to seek out striped bass, the very 
deepest slues along the beach ordinarily 
give best results with the bronze catapult. 
As with most varieties of fish, at the 
rising of the tide is undoubtedly the best 
time to seek this quarry. While no hard 
and fast rule will hold—they are taken at 
all stages of the tide—there is one rule 
that will generally hold: The gray light of 
early morning or the dusk of eventime are 
the ideal hours of the day to seek them 
out. Nature is then at its quietest, and the 
sun’s rays cast no shadows. 
A great variety of baits are equally good,
