Deep-Water Fishing 
(Continued from page 463) 
A landing net if handled properly 
will land a 20 to 25-pound fish. It is 
better, however, to have a small “gaff” 
in case of emergency. 
The bait used was shiners or “chub” 
from five to nine inches long, sewed on 
to the hook with 2-0 hooks projecting 
from either side just below the gills, 
and one hook carried down and sewed 
in to give a slight curve to the tail, 
in order that the necessary spinning 
effect may be obtained. 
In preparing the rig for action, 
place three swivels at the end of the 
line. Then at one of the swivels tie 
eight or nine feet of line, then another 
swivel. To this attach the leader. 
Then place two more swivels at the 
end of the leader into which the snells 
of the hooks are to be fastened. 
Now the next step is to select a 
piece of line or string that will break 
before the line breaks. Make this 
equal to one-third of the length from 
the three swivels above mentioned to 
the bait. Then attach to this line one 
of the pear-shaped sinkers and to the 
other end the third swivel. With this 
complete and the line carefully reeled 
and threaded through the ferrules on 
the rod, we are now ready for action. 
The best conveyance for this work is 
a small launch, and while it is possible 
to handle this from a canoe or row- 
boat, the chances of success and com- 
fort are less than with the launch. 
With this outfit, I proceeded to the 
points which had been previously lo- 
cated and trolled at a speed slightly 
in excess of that used by the canoe. 
The length of line out was about 200 
feet and the estimated depth of water 
over which I trolled was from 40 to 50 
feet, possibly 60 feet at times. The 
depth of the bait can be regulated by 
the speed of the boat and the amount 
of line out. The line should run out 
straight from the rod and one hand 
should control the line just below the 
ferrule next to the reel, with five to 
ten feet of slack line between this hand 
and the reel. The other hand should 
seize the rod just below the reel with 
the thumb and fingers ready for any 
emergency that might occur. 
Having established the position of 
the rod, slowly pay out the line until 
you can feel the sinker just bump on 
the bottom, and endeavor to have dur- 
ing the entire process of trolling the 
sinker just striking the bottom. This 
keeps the bait from one to two feet 
above the bottom and clear of entan- 
glements, and also gives perfect con- 
trol of the tackle. 
It is quite difficult at first to dis- 
tinguish between the sinker striking 
bottom and a fish striking the bait.

THAT HOLD FAST.

JAMES OLIVER CURWOOD 
writes in praise of 
SMITH GUNS 
The noted novelist wrote us recently, after six weeks 
in the Michigan north-woods: 
“I took with me the two 20-gauge shot guns* 
They shoot harder 
and farther than any 1|12-gauge I ever had, and I have used six or seven 
different makes.” 
*L. C. SMITH “EAGLE” GRADE GUNS 
With ejector and Hunter One-trigger, it’s the complete gun.
