With the sea fishing season in Cali
cles running in Forest and Stream
entitled Light Tackle Sea Fishing" will
appear strongly to anglers. The issue
of June 8 contains the second install
ment of Arthur Jerome. Eddy's valuable
contribution on the subject. Mr.. Eddy
not only knows his Catalina but he
knows more about light tackle than
that subject. For the season of 1907
Mr.. Eddy will use rods of six and one
half feet. This is six inches longer
than the minimum allowed by the Light
Tackle club. Mr.. Eddy has made ex-
haustive tests with light tackle. There
is growing interest in angling for game
fishes with something more delicate
than. pitchfork handle and a well
windlass.
The Tuna club did much to discourage
hand line fishing. Common decency and
common sense makes some headway
against wanton slaughter at Santa
Catalina. Writers in Forest and
Stream have from time to time pro-
tested against the unsightly fish racks
with their CHASTITY array of impaled vic
tims-4only less disgusting than the
"rube" with a derby hat who stands be-
side. the rack for his photograph. Mr..
Eddy's articles are invaluable to ang
lers who contemplate a trip to the
greatest sea fishing grounds in the
world. The issue of Forest and
Stream of June carries on the cover
page a picture entitled "The return of
the black bass anglers" that will set
scores OF men fumbling with tackle
boxes and send others afield.
