Some Fishing Stories About
Piscary Country In Florida
Mr. Horn «-r Is Down Who re Thfj
Catch 'em Big, And Kish
Kill Fish.
Yorkvillc Enquirer,
Tiie eyes of the nation are turned
toward Florida and its coasts and
' will be for several weeks while
| President-elect Hoover Is down there
j enjoying lire sport of deep-sea
fishing Fishing for the big uns
among the Florida Keys is no new'
sport for Mr. Hoover, as he has
been a frequent visitor there and
has been a persistent and consist
ently successful angler. Following
is part of a story written by John
Mahoney for The New York Her
ald-Tribune magazine which tells
something of Florida fish and fish
ing;
Fish Plenty And Varied.
Whatever other claims elorlaa
may have made on strained su
perlatives, there Is no disputing the
fart that the fishing grounds along
Its keys are most prolific and most
versatile In variety of sport. Wheth
er you be an advocate of the lordly
troll or the lowly handline, a still
fisherman, a caster or a harpoon
1st, your game—or all of them—may
be found within a square mile—al
most any square mile -along these
keys. Other fishing grounds, It is
true, are famous for this .species
cr that—for example. Southern
California with its giant tuna, or
New Zealand with its enormous
swordfish. But both these species,
as well as more than COO other
varieties, are to be found within
five miles of Miami.
The majority of anglers who fish
In Southern Florida come as winter
visitors from northern states. For
that reason, probably the belief—
quite erroneous—is widespread that
the best fishing Is to be had dur
ing the winter months. Then the
nlr generally Is warm, but invigorat
ing, the sun high and the atmos
phere so clear that the superstruc
tures of ships hull-down on the
horizon seem to be close nt hand.
Here and there, scattered In every
direction, rising and falling with
the easy swells, may be discerned
sturdy motorboats of the type known
as "cruisers,” moving at reduced
speed, each Intent on its own busi
ness. Spick and span they are,
and if at times their movements
seem crazy, there is a reason. They
nre after big game fish.
The Game Fish.
Insofar as large game fish are
concerned, the angler in Florida
usually confines ids attention to
about a dozen species, chiefly the
tallfish, swordfish (both marlin and
bronctblll), dolphin, tuna, bontto,
barracuda, various members of the
amber Jack family, tarpon, wahoo
and the like. Each oi these species
has some outstanding characteris
tics, its own peculiar haunts and
its devoted advocates among ang
lers. If, however, the fisherman
wants to try for bottom fish, either
larger or smaller, his field of action
Is extended indefinitely
Of the big game fish mentioned
above, It is almost a daily occur
rence to see specimens of six feet
or even longer, weighing upwards of
100 pounds.
Catching The Salmon.
To describe the characteristics of
each species of the bare but bril
liant dozen I have mentioned, or
the methods that are used In catch
ing them, is obviously imposstbte.
And yet I know, from experience,
that mention of any of them, to
the exclusion of the others, usual
ly elicits a storm of protests. But
let the brickbats fall where they
may: well assume that we are out
for satlfish, which, according to
its unblushing advocates. Is the most
courageous, the wariest, the fast
est. the most acrobatic and the
most difficult fish to catch.
The sallftsh as found otf the coast
of Florida, averages seven feet in
■ length and eighty pounds in weight.
| A member of the swordfish lamtly,
i though of much more graceful pro
j portions, it Is distinguished by an
unusually large dorsal fin of vivid
coloring. On warm, sunny days
this fish likes to meander along the
.surface, its massive sail of bright
. blue and purple extended Into the
nlr. something like a peacock on
I parade. Unlike the peacock, how
' ever. It is a demon when aroused.
This species, as Is the case with
most big game fish, can be taken
only by means of a steadily moving
lure—and this necessitates the use
of a boat. Cruisers about forty feet
In length are best adapted for this
purpose. Two anglers are seated
In the stem, faoing lers there is
danger of tangled llnea; if aft. If
there are mope than two anglers,
there is less chance of attracting
the fish. The boat Is slowed down
to four miles an hour and for
various reasons the troll, or bait,
some fifty feet astern, should be
visible to those on board.
By and by two massive brown
shadows may be discerned as they
slide down a wave, stealthily stalk
ing the bait, crossing and re-cross
ing from one line to the other.
Sometimes this stalking process
continues for as much as ten mtn
ites, or even longer, before the fish
decides what to do about It. In the
meantime, if the boat happens to
deviate from a straight course, or
If a bit of w’eed becomes tangled
in the hook, the fish seems to real
ize instantly that things are not
just what they seem, and, without
further adr it makes off for pas
tures new. Hence the necessity for
keeping the bait in sight, A,? the
minutes pass, the cumulative effect
of the suspense on the angler's
nerves may be better imagined than
described
If the quarry’s inspection passes
muster, and it usually does with a
well managed boat, one or both ol
the fish decide in very deliberate
fashion that the bait is not only
edible but desirable. The sallflsh
Is a member of the swordfish fam
ily, and Its method of stocking the
larder, so to speak. Is to stun or
kill its prospective meal with a blow
of its sword. Then with a wild
lunge it wheels around and gobbles
the helpless victim.
The secret of hooking a sailfish is :
to simulate nature. The angler must '
bide his time until he feels the ]
"tap" of the sword as it strikes the 1
bait. Instantly the bait should be
dropped back a couple of hundred
feet, and then—and not until then
—should the angler strike. If it is
a miss the bait is reeled back to Its
original position, for the sailfish is
proudly close by, rather disgusted
over his faulty marksmanship and
ready to try again.
If, on the other hand, the hook
is caught mid well sunk you can
depend on an exciting show for the
next hour or two. Generally the
first reaction of the fish on being
hooked is a wild rush of a thou
sand feet or more—"sounding,” ns it
is known. Then he pauses for a
few moments, seemingly wondering
what it is all about. Suddenly lie
decides to come to the surface to
see if lie can shake off tljls strange
restraining Influence, and up he
comes with a rush.
Jumps Twenty To Thirty Feet.
In fact, all the salUish’s move
ments are rushing, tremendously
and untiringly so. Reaching the
surface, It Indulges in a series of
prodigious leaps, graceful arcs of
twenty or thirty feet, or straight,
up. like a twisting projectile, to
fall back amid a spectacular splash
of foam.
In the meantime give a thought to
the angler. Hitherto his chief asset
has been superior cunning, but now
his cunning must be combined with
strength, endurance and a quick
steady hand.
Many a time when a struggle ol
an hour or so seemed nearing an
end I have watched an angler, grim
and wearying, brighten into a smile
of anticipated victory us he succeed
ed In "pumping" his fish, foot by
loot, inch by inch, closer and closer
! to the boat. So close, at last that
| the dominating note of the situa
tion was the hissing of the line,
taunt as a fiddlestring, cutting the
water.
In these final moments, the rod
itself must take up most of the
stresses, nnd it bends Into seem
ingly Impossible curves. The guide
—hitherto a silent figure, but. now
encouraging—leans outboard, heav
ily gloved, to grab the fish by the
sword as it rolls past. Grand finals
seems near, but the fish, suddenly,
taking fright, at the proximity of
the boat or an untword movement
of some one aboard, is galxanlzed
into renewed action and leaps wild
ly about in .every direction. Then
with a fierce rush it, is off, sound
ing again. Subconsciously, the weary
angler clamps all possible tension on
the brake, hoping to check the rim
before the line is stripped off the
reel. The reel heats and smokes,
while the angler, bracing himself
for another tussle, smiles wanly,
though his heart is glowing with
J admiration lor his opponent.
) Thus the struggle continues until
one of two things happens—and,
privately, you decide that, alter all,
the guide's estimates are aery con
servative
Along the Florida Keys lish are
o plentiful-nay, even boisterous—
that they ran be depended upon
to jump oi their own accord, not
merely into the boat Itself, but
right Into the frying pan, if one be
handy. As nn every day routine
culinary procedure, this plan, of
course, is not recommended—not
for the reason you probably have
in mind, but because the momen
tum of a five-pound fish hurtling
through the air is disastrous to mi
orderly array of pots and pans.
Don't smile, kind reader, and
above all, do not bet that it can
not be done. For you will surely
lose! It can be demonstrated any
evening when the moon is low. All
you have to do Is to anchor 1m
shoal water, set the stove in the
center of the cockpit, place a pan
on the stove, and hang a light over
the pan Then lie low. keep quiet
and let nature take its course. The
light attracts the fish. The cock
pit floor will soon be a slithenng,
phosphorescent mess of silvery
jacks, runners, tarpon, seatrout and
whatnot. About one in five will hit
the pan.
Yarns of small fish being swallow
ed by larger fish are common
enough, but one of the most re
markable series I have heard was
told to me by a Miami guide—an
absolutely trustworthy man, by the
way A small, and unwelcome
mackrel hit the troll and was hook
ed. While reeling it In, rather dis
gustedly, the angler was startled by
a vicious tug, and saw that a bar
racuda the most vicious of fish, had
