A \ z Dj^rnjsmrr JHBI&MMIIMII MONO the gamest of salt water Hah and the one that affords great sport to the angler is the blackfish of eastern waters. There are those who claim that salt water fishing lacks one of the essentials of true sport, there be- T; 2^* ing no casting or other fine rod work to be done. They maintain, and not , unjustly, that as much skill la needed to lurqfuome of the fresh water vari eties to the bait aa to land them after a strike, and that one misses the keen battle of wit against Instinct and ' natural wariness. All of which, while true, docs not alter the fact that sur roundlnga play an ail Important part in tho full enjoyment of a day's out ing with rod and reel, a thing even the motit enthusiastic angler would soon coino to realize were it possible to catch the highly prised, varieties irom tho. unpicturcsque docks along the water fronts of our cities. There is inborn within all of us a keen love of the beautiful In nature and In tho nppoal made to It by the country Into which we are taken lies much of the fascination of nng llng. We are ptlrred by the swish of the wind through the swaying trees, the murmur of the brook, the silence of the deep pool among the rocks, the placid lake, the fragrance and mys tery of the wild woods. And Is not the sea every bit as fas cinating? Indeed, once experienced, one never agalu escapes the subtle spell it weaves about one with Its salt laden breezes, its wonderful skies, the great body of water sparkling in the sunshine, the silvery beaches, rocky ledges and luxuriant green shores. The blacklljb Inhabits localities that show the sen at Its best and he Is so game and crafty a fighter as to leave nothing to wish for on this score. It is hot fjr nothing that he has won for himself the name of "bulldog of the sea." His large, powerful Jaw Is of Iron, and he will dispute every Inch of line, resorting to all man ner of clever tricks in order to free hllaself. lie is never couglit until you have him safely in th-.« boat and the skirmish between you will likely end In his getting rway with ihe best part of your tackle unle.:s your hand Is Billed and your attention unwaver ing. The blackfish is to be found along the shores of Now York, Connecticut, Rhode Inland and Massachusetts. Old fishermen claim that his appearance north of Rhode Island la comparative ly of recent date. In days gone by, when the Indians roamed tho terri tory at will, he had place among their choicest tnblo delicacies and we are told thai the Mphegans, who called him "tautog," held him In high es teem us a spring and fall food. Ihe name of blackfish, ovldently duo to the fish's color, is not a par ticularly fortunate one. Though the black Is of u dark gray and mottled, the sides are decidedly lighter and the under part almost white. The blackfish Inhabits the vicinity j of rocky ledges, reefs and rough bot- I toins nnd shows a decided preference I for places where the tide runs swift ly. Here he will lie In ambush be- ! j hind some sheltering rock and await the passage of shrimp and small crabs carried down by the tide. When he spies hU prey ho darts out with light ning rapidity, pounces upon it and darts back to cover. This predllec i tion for tidal Hues hns won him the naiuo of "tide runner" In certain lo calities. Ho is also found Insidb the j sandy bays along the southern shore of Long Island and on the ocean banks o-f Sandy Hook. In fnct, the largest specimens are to be caught in these localities, and this, ndded to a slight but noticeable difference of color be tween the rock and the sand catches, ! has led to the belief that there are | two distinct varieties of blackfish, ■ which Is not the case. Only one ex ! ists. Wondrous tales are told In the i eastern flsh market regarding the size of some of the blackfish brought in from the banks and there are those who will swear to having seen 50 pounders weighed. Like tho majority of extraordinary flsh storios they can not be credited. No specimen tipping tho sc-Rle even at 20 pounds Is au thentically on record, and ten pound ers nre considered * wonderful rar ity. Men who flsh constantly claim that the season's average shows a preponderance of two and three | pounders, with a few five, six or even seven pounder? to boast of. The num ber to be had depends a good deal on tho locality, of course, but a tftrlng of 30 to 40 is by no means excep tional in the best waters. New Yorkers are quite partial to blackflshihg and regular excu/slon boats are frequently run to the banks with large parties op board. They generally return laden with spoils. Launches and sailboats are also used, and along the coast skiffs carry out many fishermen. On B»tufdays and . Sundays, from April until November there can be seen Issuing from every tarbrr hundreds of little craft bound for the haunts of the blackflnh. Her* they anchor and remain all day, sel dom falling to land a good catcb. Small launches make the best means of conveyance, because they enable one to reach the likeliest ledges (those near shore are pretty well fished out) and because their shallow draft permits of their run ning safely Into the rocky places In habited by the fish. Sailboats are rather dangerous In this respect and It Is no rare occurrence to see one hung up high and dry by tho falling tide. Rowboats are very convenient for near-shore fishing, but rather risky, Squalls are likely to come up at any moment and make matters more than Interesting for the Ush ers, Tho blackflsh Is raid never to desert Jile home waters and It Is a fact that he never visits the river's like do the salmon and the sturgeon to lay his spawn. At the advent of the cold weather he becomes torpid and goes Into hibernation, not emerging again Into life until spring. April makes the return of his appetite and fisher men time the period"of his reappear ance with the flowering of the dog wood. From then until November he can he caught, though there Is a time In mid summer, during the excessive heat, when he will only he tompted by the daintiest of delicacies. lly Sep tember he Is feeding voraciously again, however, so the slack season only lasts a few weeks. The bait commonly used for hlr.ok flsh Is the soft-shell clam and the fid dler crab. Knowing anglers swenr va riously by shrimp, hermit crab, Rnnd worm, hnrd clam and the tall-end of a chicken lobster as Irresistible mor sels when the fish are not biting well, but, as a rule, there Is no necessity l'or special bait. The securing; of a soft-shell clam on the hook Is n task that requires con summate skill. Wherever lives the blncktlsh la to be found also In great abundance the small Asm called hergalt or cunner, and/ the bergalt haß a particular fondness for clams and fiendish cleverness /In separating them from a hook. While he Is about It you feel a few gentle nibbles and then motion ceases. You pay no at tention, of course, but after waiting vainly for a bite you decide to Inspect. tho bait and find to your surprise that It Is gose. The hook Is picked as clean as a whistle. A motionless line, free from nibbles has come to Indicate a baltless hook to the seeker of the blackflsh. The most effective way of checking the predatory Instinct of tho bcrgnlt Is to bait with the entire clam, shell and all. This Is done by inserting 'be hook Into the protruding neck of the clam, twisting It around until It Is firmly Imbedded into the hard mus cle of the bivalve and then crack ing the shell lightly. Prepared this way the clam Is easily tnken Into the big mouth of the blackfl9h, but pre sents nn armored surface to the begalt which he uttempta vainly to break through. The vast majority of blackfish I anglers being fishermen rather than I sportsmen, and counting the day's en joyment only from the standpoint of the catch, scruple not to minimise as much as possible the fish's chances of escape. They use Heavy hand lines provided with two or three good 1 hooks, and when a fish strikes It bo comes merely a matter of hauling It !n, hand over hand. There are others, though, who have the right sporting blood and believe In equalizing matters so that skill will have to be brought Into piny. They use light rather than stiff poles, preferably of split bamboo, and bass litM* : —— - - The blackflsh, being y a bottom fish, it is necessary to anchor the line. This is done by securing a small sink er to the end. Above It are spliced two leaders a foot or so apart, each bear ing a hook, tho else of which depends on the Individual's Idea of what Is proper. These Ideas evidently vary greatly, for a wide range is seen. To the writer a 2-0 has seemed to best fill requirements. The double leader his been universally adopted owing to the changecble moods of the blackflsh. They will often refuse absolutely to even look at fiddlers and rouse* > greedily on clams, only to reverse a ■ few hours later. It has therefore been found wisdom to offer them both baits at once. handing a blackflsh with rod and ; reel I 3 an li.tereatlng and exciting pas tlino. H!g dash for the bait Is so sud den and hl.» retreat so swift that one Is often taken unawares. There are ! no warning nibbles, no quiet swim- | nilng ofT with the line. It is a case bf grab and run for cover. Therefore nuist one be ever alert and stop him an noon as he bites. Luckily, there is ' n > fear of his spitting out the bait; ; h • nelzes boldly and generally hooks } himself fast. The danger lies in an- J oilier direction —In his gre«rt strength j and wonderful cunning. He has you ; both ways, If you stop him too sud- j dehly he will throw all his weight on | : the line and snap It ofT before you , know it; if you try to play him loose ly lie will dart behind some rock, snarl ! the line, and it will either snap or siw off when you try to free It. One imrstkiTow one's business thoroughly, to be successful and M|« ll dHp o n- | stantly on Iho qui vive. And even then ! accidents will occur. The wise fisb- ! erman always has extra tackle with j hi 11:. It la generally conceded that black* flsli bite best on the rising tide and |. one cannot deny that exceptions provo f~ the rule, but in more thnn one in- I stance the writer has hauled In good | string.-* on the obb tide, and the larg- J est catch ho ever witnessed— ! In number, not in size—was made dur- ' Ing the flrst three hours of a falling tide. Weather conditions are said to in- ! fluenee the biting of blackflsh. A well- j known Writer on game fish gives It as i his opinion that ideal conditions are j clouded shies and sufficient breeze to j just ruffle the water without stirring j It. The writer's experience and that j of several of his angler friends has ! been that weather makes very little I difference. A common belief, in no way sub- , stantiated, is that blackflsh have a keen tense of hearing. Novices are always cautioned to make as little noise ns possible. It is also said that thunder so frightens the blackflsh j that they will cease from biting at the flrst peal; and to this is added the j legend that after aharp crashes of j lightning a number are to be found floating around on the surface dying cr dead. Not the least good point of the blackflsh is his toothsomeuess. Fresh j caught and cooked on the embers, he offers a morsel fit for the gods. The j flesh Is Urc, savory and possessed of a delicious flavor. But, to the writer, j the greatest charm tn blacklisting lies in the beautiful nooks and en chanting little lalands about his haunts where one can go ashore either for a few hours or, if the spirit moves, for several days of camping. Nothing 1b more delightful than to Idle away the time lu such pleasant surroundings, Ashing, bathing and j boating. And the catch will not be wasted, for the blackflsh Is strong and 1 hardy and will suffer no ill effects j from being confined alive to a tank or small pool for a few days.
