HOW TO MARK FISH SPOTS
Take "shots" at objects and Draw
imaginary Lines, Is the Advice
OF an Authority.

1t is necessary for the successful
fisherman to mark the good fishing
spots, and 1t is simple matter, ac-
cording to the New York Sun.
The first thing that civil engineer
is taught is to tie his survey to some
thing permanent. OF what use would
"A deed be setting forth the boundaries
of piece of property if.it did not have
II permanent point of beginning2
If you are fishing In body of wa
ter with land on all sides, 1t only be
comes necessary to look In four direc-
tlons-iirst north, and then take some
object due north of your fishing spot
and remember it. such as big tree,
somestnck, or building.
Then look due east and fix upon an
other object, and your good fishing
spot will be at the intersection of
imaginary lines drawn from both those
points.
If you desire to be doubly sure you
can site on objects due south and west,
but any two objects 80 degrees apart
will be sufficient to fix point.
1t is assumed that you are seated in
boat directly over the spot you wish
to mark, hence 1t is easy to take
''shots" due east and south or north
and west. Amy two are sufficient.
