OF them are large. The largest are the
striped bass, and it is 40 uncommon

the scales at twenty and twenty-five
pounds.
The largest fish ever caught in the
lake was taken last year by Fred Tay-
DOR and for several days it was on ex-
hibition in the window OF a sporting
goods store. 1t was suspended from a
large spring balance scale and the In
dicator showed that its weight was

the Bass club for the man who sue

the season. sand the prize went 10 Tay-

takers with bass that weighed

A score or MORE Of the men who find

their credit that weighed more than
tn 9rty-hve pounds.
The fishing Is always better in the
lake during the fall and winter months
and the sports are just now beginning

knowing the hck1eness of the striped

A Public Fishing Ground.
The lake was originally an arm of
the estuary and when the Twelfth
street dam was thrown across the
water the lake was made and those
who were Interested in the beautifica-
tion of the city succeeded in getting
the State to give the water lots to the
city. So the fishing ground is public
property and all that is required is
tience and skill and one stands as
IL q chance Of big catch as an
othcr. The tide water flows into the
lake at high tide through large food
gates fitted into the dam and the
fish come In from the bay when the
gates are open. They could, If they
were so inclined, get out again, hut
they do not seem 20 want 10. and fish
ermen say that the reason they like
the lake is owing to the presence of
the large number Of CLAIMS. small smelt
and little crabs. On these they flourish
and no one has ever been known to
hook poor fish in Lake Merritt.
J. A. Fatjo. who runs one of the
lake lighthouses and is himself a very
enthusiastic fisherman, is authority for
the statemeAt that the bass spawn in
the lake and that there are now in
the lake thousands of small bass. Ye.
he also declares that in the years he
has watched the fishing In the lake
he has never seen the game law vlo-
lated. The law. DOGS not permit of the
taking of bass that weigh less than
three pounds and unless a small fish
is badly injured in the taking the men
who make practice of fishing in. the
Jake always throw IT back into the
water
Fishing Is Done From Boats.
Most of the fishing ih the lake is
done from boats. for the shores of the
lake are not popular with the fish ex-
cept after night though not infre5

the bank or at the food gates on an
incoming tide. Very little trolling is

go there to troll with such an equip

One OF the Ingenious devices which has

fish when he takes the first little nibble
at the bait. 1t is made OF lead in the

the sinker is drilled hole. The Ilne'is
