EEL SPEARS.
One Sort Used in Summer, Another in
Winter-the Difference.

You didn't know there was any
difference between winter eel spears
and summer Gel spears! Why" said
the old fisherman. there's whole
heap of difference.
The summer eel spear is made for
spearin% eel that are swimming
around in the water, the winter spear
for Spe&rinG GELS that ara buried in
the mud. THE summer eel spear has
prongs. spinos that arc pointed, these
alternatIn with prongs that have at
their outer ends Il pointed chock, 4
sort of knob. You spear the cells with
the Spirlcs. tire pointed checks helping
10 roll tine eel toward the spine il you
don't happen IL speIr him square:
and than otter ypu'Ve got an eel on n
spin" the checks on Tho prones on
either side II il keep the eel from
sliding off.
You can spring the prongs with
chOcks m ,nem apart when YOU want
to and LIT The enls slide off tho spines,
but II y0I used 4 summer eel spear in
winter the cells would pull off the
spineS ,tlcp sou pulled tho spear up
through the mud. So the winter eel
spear is made not With spines and
checked plongs but with prongs that
are all hooked 1T tie end.
When you pun this spear up the
md doesn't pull Tie eel off but only
holds thlm down on the hooked
prongs more securely. So you see
1hcl.'s all the difference IN the world
h, tween winter and summer eel
spears.
The summer col spear has q light
ana slender but stout spruce handle
about l. feet long; and on the other
end OF this handle is dip net. Cor the
fisherman out for cells is likely to fish
for crohs At the same time. He fishes
in comparatively shallow water. on
fats and aroGnd in the eel grass; and
in summer he is likely to fish at night.
when the carpS and GELS ar" out
proWlirg around for things to eat.
Then he carries on the bow of his
boat light that makes light enough
SO that h can see the bottom and
anything On il. Ii he finds crabs he
uses the dip net, if he finds GELS ne
uses the spear, and so he keeps going:
but this, yod understand, is summer
fishing for crabs and GELS that can be
seen swimming around in the water
in the bottom. In winter both crabs
and GELS bury themselves in tn" mud
and then the fisherman goes after
them in other WAYS.
Tie winter eel spear has a some
what longer handle. IA handle twelve
90 sixteen fec, in length. and no dip
net on it's other end. for ct this season
for the crabs the fisherman uses n
rake. He may rake ground for
crabs ana then spear it for cells. ana in
winter if the water is frozen over he
may spear for cells through the ice.
H. cuts out circular cake of the
ice and then he doesn't take the trou-
bic to pun the big cake out. he just
pushes 1t out of the way under the
slrrou.ding ice with his axe, and he
may 4ut half G dozen holes around III
this WAY and then he goes TO spearinS.
He not only spears straight down
into The mud directly below, but with
his. long handled spear he can spear
