Richard Sedgwick, who Is enjoying
q vacation in Florida has written an
interesting letter home in when he
describes recent fishing expedition
as follows:
Well my boy:
want to tell you about the great
est fishing frolic ever had. We went
by auto to a little town about 10 miles
south of here on the gulf by the name
Of Cortes. 1t Is a little fishing town
OF about 200 people; has no streets or
street lights and no one knows any
thing but fish and they certainly know
that we'll.
We went there the night before to
be there by daylight next morning.
We engaged a man and boat to take
us out and we gave him Sc and all the
fish we could catch. Daylight found
us all ready to start and about thirty
other boats also ready.
Would Bring Dead to Life.
To see all the boats starting out
about the same time and to hear the
chug of all their motors would bring
a dead man to life if he had ever been
fisherman.
We went out into the gulf about ten
miles and the boats scattered over a
radius of two or three miles in order
to locate a school Of fish. When a
school is located all the boats center
in and work back and forth over an
area OF from 10 to 20 acres.
We had no difficulty in locating a
large school and then the fun began.
Imagine if you can thirty good sized
motor boats going back and forth and
around in every way, three lines In
each boat and everybody catching fish
10 beat the band and the fish running
from thirty to fouty pounds each and
you have faint conception OF what
was happening.
The water was rough enough to
make it interesting for fellow to
keep on his feet which adds quite
bit of excitement to the occasion. This
is kept up for an hour or so when the
fish are either all scattered or scared
away. The boats then scatter over an
90 of five or six miles when one OF
boats locates a new school when
same excitement sets in.
Surely Provides Good Sport.
With the churning of the motors.
the splashing of the fish, the shouts
of the fishermen this is surely sport
that would satisfy the most exacting
hunter Of the finny tribe. The average
sport goes at it very deliberately with
his rod and reel but as the excitement
grows will throw aside his rod and
