Lime Point has been for many years
favorite place for anglers who delight in
the pleasure of catching rockfsh, sea-
perch and other edible fishes Indigenous
to this bay.
Sometimes the sport is very fascinating,
while at other times. when the denizens of
the deep are either too seaslck to eat or too
lazy to look up food, the angler feels as If
he had made mistake and got into the
wrong place.
Although a majority of the fishermen
who 90 a-prospecting for rockfsh and sea-
trout row from Sausalito to Lime Point
there are quite a plumber who prefer con-
stitutional tramp along the margin of the
bay to the point, distance OF ABOUT five
miles.
A few days ago a young apothecary
named Herman, whose place Of business
is on O'Farrell street. thought that day 3
outing with hook and line on one OF the
numero big boulders that rise majesti-
cally from the blue waters near Lime
Point would materially aid him to remove
a severe attack of dyspepsia which he has
recently fallen heir to. Like all tyros. he
had wonderfully good luck so far as catch
ing fish is concerned. but in the excitement
of the sport the young gentleman was
caught mapping by the tide, which stole
silent march on him.
Sufficient to say that Mr.. Herman re.
manned all night on the cold and unlnvltlng
rock, from which many good hsh was
hooked in fair weather. When relating
his fearful experience to Sausalito friend
the young druggist slated that while walt
Ing for the tide to recede dense log arose,
and that after prolonged consultation
with himself he decided to remain ION the
point until he could see his way clear TO
dry land. During the night the only way
he had OF keeping his blood from freezing
was by humping the topknot off the rock
by means OF chunk of piglrOn which
some angler, who had evidently used it as
sinker. had left behind. Several of Mr..
HeTman's friends are now endeavOring 10
have the inexperienced rockcod fisherman
lecture Oh bay fishing at the next meeting
OF the Shrimp aud Salad Club.
The great sport that anglers have been
enjoying in Monterey Bay for some weeks
past may possibly revert to this bay-that
is, judging from the great numbers of sar-
dimes that are now being caught from the
wharves and bay shores.
Last Sunday a salmon weighing about
seven pounds was captured by an angler
who was trolling in the vicinity of Lime
Point from steam launch, and yesterday
a yachtsman who returned from the Pa
clhc Club at Sausalito said that quite a
number of salmon have been seen chasing
the small fishes not far distant from the
yachting headquarters.
Some local anglers have made prepara-
lions to give king salmon a trial on tile
mornings of Saturday and Sunday next
along the shore near Lime Point, and if
successful there is no doubt that
ironing Tor salmon will be the leading
sport here while the game fish are visiting
this harbor.
Accounts from Aptos in Monterey Bay
speak very we'll OF the sport the Santa
Cruz nshermen are having at the present.
