fish averaging less than three-quarters Of a
pound and seldom, II ever, going above
three pounds in weight. This fish is known
as the winter founder and is taken in nets
from November to April and with hook and
line in early March and April.
Another variety OF the fiat fishes. called
fluke by local anglers, is simply large or,
as it is known in the fish stores, summer
founder. 1t grows to a weight OF eighteen
or twenty pounds and Is highly priced for
its table qualities.
This fish is just making its appearance in
Jamaica Bay. while the winter founder
stays with us all the year 1t is the opinion
OF many salt water anglers that this f1sh's
mouth and eyes differ from those Of the
common founder, and are always ON one
side Of the body, but they are in error, as all
varieties Of this fish have the mouth either
on the left or the right side.

both in good weight and in numbers, from

The history Of this fish is very interesting,
owing In a great measure to the mystery
surrounding his spawning habits. Fe-
male bass filled with spawn have been
often caught in the deep waters OF the
upper Hudson during the winter. which
has led many to believe that they de =

large rivers; but no positive proof OF
this conjecture has ever como to light.

With the advent OF Decoration Day
the fishing season Of 1905 in the salt waters
near this city may be said to be fairly
under way. although the fishermen of

trips to City Island and other nearby
points after the winter founder, 40 called,
and not without considerable success.
The Fishing Banks boats have been well
patronized, and those who braved The
cutting winds OF early March and April
were rewarded by the number OF Goldfish

seabass and blackfish, and good catches
are reported by returning anglers from
the Banks every evening.
Weakfish have made their appearance
IN Jamaica Bay, and while no large catches
nre reported the fact Of their being there
80 early in the season augurs we'll for the
sport to come in June.
The failure Of the striped bass to put in
their appearance in large numbers this
spring was a great disappointment to
fishermen here. it seems TO be the general
opinion among aE g!ers that the scarcity
of this grand game fish OF Northern salt
waters is due to the extensive netting
practised by residents along the Hudson
as far north as Ossining and in other
waters nearer the city.

wardens, is very vigilant in guarding the

The weakfsh season has arrived. In a
few days the waters Of all the bays adjacent
to New York should be teeming with these
fish, which afford more sport to metropoli-
tan an glers than any other variety.
About June I the weakfish almost
invariably arrives In nearby waters. AL
ready few couriers OF the advan Gin &
schools have put in an appearance, one
weighing six pounds having been captured
In Jamaica Bay last week.
Whittier these beautiful fish 60 when they
leave this region late in October has lon 6
been a puzzle. As in the case Of the shad.
their whereabouts is unknown from October
until February and March, when they ap-
pear in the waters Of Florida and Georgia,
where they are variously known as gray
trout, sun trout, shed trout and salt water
trout.
The name weakfish Is a legacy from the
Dutch oolonists Of Manhattan. It means
a soft-mouthed fish.
The habits Of the weakflsh and bluefish
are very similar as regards their food
The weakfish, however. seek as a rule the
shelter of andlocked bays, while the more
savage blues prefer the freedom Of the open
sea.
In June the weakfsh swarm into the
bays in enormous schools, voraciously
hungry. Their favorite food is shrimps,
but when fresh in from the sea. they will
eat clans and killies. Consequently, June
is the ideal month for weakfishing. Later
in the season the bays become so full of food
Of all kinds that the fish are not caught 30
readily.
The reason why the weakfsh makes such
a strong appeal to the average salt water
angler is that it can be captured with a
smaller outlay Of money and time than any
other fish OF equal gameness and CASTRO
nomic value. Indeed, nickel will pay for

about one mile will then place the angler
on one Of the most popular fishing grounds
In America.
No moro specific directions are necessary,
for the location Of the fish has been de-
temined long before the amateur arrives
by the professional guides. who, to the
number OF fifty, make their headquarters
at Canarsie, and all that is necessary for
tho tyro Is to follow the hotilla which leaves
the village just before the high or low water
slack, as the case may be.
To those unfamiliar with weakfshing
one caution is absolutely necessary, and
that Ia not to make any noise. No fish
that swims is more easily frightened than
a weakfish. Even a brook trout Is not
more easily startled,
Therefore all preliminary arrangements
should be made before reaching the fishing
ground. The anchor should be cleared
90 that no noise is made when 1t Ia gently
lowered over the side Of the boat, and the
oars should be taken from the oarlocks
400 feet from the fishing ground and the
boat permitted to drift down to the desired
anchorage.
