CATCHING trNNER>. In the summer season

ualy caught from boats, but tie most enjoyable
Way Is tn catch them from the shore with rod and
lime Tine primitive alder pole j. the best. last
wreck Belfast party captured a good string from
the bold shores Of the BluA. i'm Northport just
above Temple Heights. An alder pole twelve or
fifteen feet long, Il short line, and small hook
halted with CLAIMS, constitute the gear \ small
sharp hook is the best as the cunncr's mouth is
-Wti. lnd he Is an inveterjte bait -tealer A bold
point Of rocks was found and the lines east into
thc water. The cunners down the bay are large
and smart. a stout buckling the alder pole
nearly double 1t requires some skill To dress, or
a~ "Uur George" woulc say, to un,lress Gunner.
10 should be done while the clmners are fresh and
before You take them home. Run sharp knife
down on either side of the top and bottom fins cut
the throat across and slit down the belly With
one hand holding the head, take hold of the nape
with the other and the skin easily pulls of. The
Gunner is an excellent pan fish, and also makes I,
entire day in bagging half a dozen trout six inches
long when in few hours time a large basket full
at cunners can be taken and the sport is rather in
favor Of the Gunner fisherman.
