don't know how to fish, get on the
job tomorrow. If you do you don't
need any instructions, and If you

and tell the people referred to in
this article that you want to learn
how to dig for weakfish or bluefsh

ter and they will willingly show you.
At Sewaren see r. o. Acker, and

Howard Tappan for information,
and anchor just where he tells you
to. In this city go to Van Pelt's and
he will give you all the information
needed. Van Pelt will also show
you where the fish ar ebeing caught,
and follow his instructions. At
Morgan's Station the boathouse at
the county bridge. to the left OF the
railroad. is Jack Willett's. Jack
will point out the fishing grounds to
you and show you how to rig the
line. Walter Ryerson is near the
railroad, and he is very accommo-
dating. Then a little further up the
road is Billy Hartman, who every
fisherman knows. These places are
given because r~owboats can be OBJ
tanned for fishing and the grounds
are close to the boathouse. If mo-
%torbOats are wanted for fishing trips
better engage them in advance, as
they are much in demand.
Policemen Jack Hummel and
Harry Hammond, OF Newark, are
just about on speaking terms and
no more, and all because of a fish
ing trip. Hammond decoyed Hum
mel out from their Staten Island
camp last Sunday to fish. First
Harry said that he didn't know how
to bait a hook, SO Jack did it for
him. Then Harry landed a weak
fish and refused to take it off the
hook, claiming that he was stung
by a catfish one and never got over
it. Jack obliged again and all he
could do was bait the hook and re-
move the fish for Harry all day.
Now the latter Is looking for a new
fishing partner that don't get peev-
ish over such little trifes.
Mrs. M. Moss writes that bluefsh-
ing is excellent at Keyport at the
present time. Motorboats, which go
out churning and trolling for them,
come in with from fifty to sixty. One
boat anne in with se~venty-eight.
The nets fishermen fetch them right
to Keyport dock and sell them for
five cents per pound. Weakfshing
is very good here now and our par
ties are not catching fifty or sixty
to a boat. The people are we'll sat
isf1ed that come here to fish. Key
port as a general rule has good fish
ing and most everyone gets fish once
in a while. Some Jonahs don't get
them, but the sequel to weakfish is
to know the depth to fish for them.
Mrs. Gross had seven boats out yes
terday and all but n got fish.
