Conservation of Bait.

Joseph Rindskopf OF es4 Tiffany
street, The Bronx, believes in the con-
servation of bait when founder fishing.
Recently with Charles Fridenburg in the
Electra from Clason Point at oyster Bay
eighty pounds OF founders were taken
by them, some fish weighing over one
pound.
Mr.. Rindskopf writes: 1--WE used
bloodworms exclusively. and as We
only had a dozen apiece you can easily
judge that the fish were very hungry
as they grabbed the bait and fought very
hard. In catching founders it occurs
very often that the bait remains on the
hook when you take It from the fish's
mouth. land can be used again and
again"

The Electra and the Elsie, fishing In
Long Island Sound, last week caught
the first blackfish. Concerning these fish
Joseph Rinskopf writes: This shows
that they are on their way. and a few
warm days will make them bite better.
There are>some big blackfish in the
Sound waters. as have seen six and
eight Founders caught, and personally
got thirty-six in the fall Of 1917 near
Stamford light. all Of which were nearly
the same weight, about three to three

three pounds. This fishing happened on
