FISHING IN FLORIDA.
The Varieties in the Orange CROWN
State.

The Varieties in the Orange Growing
State.
There are fourteen varieties of fish to be
found ON the coast that will rise to the fly,
says Florida correspondent of the In
dianapolis Journal, and twice that num-
Der may be taken with a spinning bait.
1t is only here that the regal tarpon, the
''silver king" Is found. For beauty,
strength, speed and lasting powers he
heads the list of game fish. AS the royal
stag is to the mounted hunter, even so is
the silver king to the ambitious angler.
He is often hooked put seldom taken, his
size, speed. and peculiar tactics usually
enabling him TO get rid of the hooks in a
few minutes. In weight he runs from
fifty to 200 pounds; the average is
not tar from 100 pounds. When hooked
there is no possible way of checking his
first mad rush. If checked too hard he
will tear his own jaws to shreds in his
frantic efforts to get rid OF the hooks. 1t
Is an exciting and beautiful sight to see
him making straight out to sea, with a
constant succession of high leaps and
short runs. under the surface, for, as he
darts into the sunlight he looks like gilt
tering streak of FURNISHED silver; and he
ncNtl SCdSCo LIS iCdpihS uHtli3 tHOiOuEuly
exhausted, be lies supinely on his side
and allows the boat to come alongside.
Even then he is to be approached with
caution. He is getting his second wind,
aud on seeing the boat is pretty certain to
make a second wild race, put only a short
one, when he may be secured with Crap
pie or gaff, though the better way is to
shoot him in the head, which Quiets him
at once and saves all further trouble.
Recently an enthusiastic angler came on
the coast with rig especially gotten up
for the tarpOn, the special points being a
very short, strong rod, and reel of the
best make, carrying 1,200 feet of the best
line. He succeeded in capturing a tar
pom OF 100 pounds, and l see no reason
why, with such an outfit, he might not
capture one almost every day during the
season. The local fishermen of the coast
are very successful with the tarpon by
"graining," i. e., spearing them with a
twO-tined spear. A spear is made fast to
each end of line 200 to 800 feet long, and
the fish is usually struck from common
rOwboat. The handle fits loosely in the
socket of the short spear, that it may draw
out when the fish is struck and ride paral-
lei with the line, to which 1t is made fast
by balf-hltches. What with hard holding
by the fisherman and towing a heavy boat
after him, the silver king generally turns
up on his side before the end of the line is
reached, and then the boat is cautiously
pushed up to him, aud he is given the re-
serve grains. If the second shot is a good
one his fight is soon ended.
