The Sea Trout.

The gamest of saltwater fish, after
the striped bass, is the weakfish, or sea
trout. The sport of angling for them is
generally enhanced because. feeding as
they generally do near the surface, it is
possible TO fish for them with light
tackle. The best places to find them in
the vicinity of New York are .Jamaica
bay, the southwestern shore of Staten
Island and the mouth of the Shre,Ss-
bury river. While they have been
caught weighing upward of 90 pounds,
Il opl0 FOUNDER is a good size, and
the average only runs from one to two
aud half. There is never any doubt
when Ye,kfish bites. He does not
nibble around the hook. but takes the
bait at one fair swoop and then starts
off with it like limited express with
time to make up He is shy fish, and
the man who uses small line, light
leaders and smells to his hook and keeps
quiet while fishing, Is the one who is apt
to have the best luck.-Country Life IN
