MIAMI VISITORS
BUSY ANGLING

York angler thinks OF Florida fishing he
naturally recalls tales of the giant sill
YER scaled tarpon. the ugly rnlsshapen

cal fish u ne caught here. In the Florida
tropics the supply of deep sea game
seems almost inexhsustible. on some
lays as many as fifty yachts return TO
Miami at sunset, and few anglers are
disappointed in their haul. Successful
