SCARCITY OF BAIT.
FISHERMEN OF cASco BAY sERI-
ousLY HAMPERED BY SEARCH
TY OF HERRING.
Shortage Greater Than Ever.

Inc scarcity of herring is causing a
great deal of bother to the fishermen
OF the Bay as these species of fish
are used nearly exclusively by the
nshermen for bait. and without bait
tne nshing industry comes to a stand
sun. This applies mostly TO what is
known as trawl fishing. which is the
principal way OF catching the various
kinds OF fish that abound in the sea.
with perhaps the exception of sword
nsh which are always harpooned. The
writer in conversation with a fisher
man OF thirty years experience gained
the Following facts. Said he: '.Twen-
" years ago such a thing as scarcity
OF bait was unheard of, but now the
supply is rarely equal to the demand.
Various reasons are assigned for the
disappearance of herring from our
waters. Some attribute II to the fact
!, hsf-the increased demand is the rea.
sob. there being much greater
amounts needed than twenty years
ago" Then again. said he. "the an
proved methods of catching bait have
no doubt depleted the supply. The
modern methods such as hedges.
hoating pounds, drag seines and other
devices catch both large and small
fish. while the old gill nets that were
formerly used caught only large her
ring. or course the sardine factories,
which use exclusively thousands upon
thousands OF small fish. are i'm a
measure responsible for their share of
the shortage. Just think said he.
twenty years ago Casco Bay furnished
nearly all the Gloucester fleet to-
sether with our local demand. while
now we are hardly able to keep our
own boats supplied except perhaps in
the fall season."
