The large rock In North Bay. though
not entirely out Of water, produced some
excellent fly fishing, and I spent several

Notables on the Banks
Capt. Jake" Martin
Sketch No. 8
BY ARTHUR THoRxToy.

They say II Is better to be born
lucky than rich" apd II this is 50 |
think Capt Jake" Martin is ono OF
the most fortunate men In the world, for
u seems to mo that everything comes
his way.
Perhaps It ia his jovial Temperament
that il responsible for his never failing
GOOD luck. or II may be that expansive
smile OF his; but whatever it is. the
broad fact remains that the tight little
steamship Evelyn In his skilled hands
never has a mishap. but steams to and
from the Banks as regular as n clock.

her fo'c'sle as any that ever sailed
under the Jolly Roger"
Here I am talising about the EVELYN
when II ought to he her master l should
speak about. But I can't help It, as ]
have spent so many happy days aboard
of this handy little steamer.
About Capt Jake? Well. who does
not know this trim built skipper? Whc
Ia there that does not know how keen
he is ut locating fish? And who does not
know how he can drop right on the
Farms" In n dense fog?
But II Is for the writer TO tell about
the long years in the pilot house on the
way to the Banks. and these yarns have
often been about the days when Capt.
Jake" was a deep water man, for
he has been all over the world in steam
and sailing craft. Some OF his tales
have made me feel a tribe incredulous
at times. but then I am a good listener.
and II my good friend adds a yard or
two TO the length OF the tarpon he
caught in the tropics. or II he stretches
the number OF barracuda he hooked in
the Caribbean Sea. why, as n good and
dutiful friend. ] always acquiesce.
oh, those mornings In the pilot house
arc fine About two bells we open I'D
the lunch, and our tastes being remark
ably alike. We enjoy the limburger and
onions, the pigs knuckles and bologna
TO the full. My powers OF throwing YER
bal bricks are more than equalled by
Capt. "Jake's" ability at pungent re-
partee. and as the country paper would
say, "A good time was had by the pair
Of 'em |"
Some OF you who read this will re-
member the old Athene when the Martin
brothers ran her-and those were times
when they brought home large catches
OF fish. After that came the Evelyn and
Giralda, though OF the latter ship and
her skipper ! will say a word later.
Capt. Jake" Is thorough snort,
kindly and always ready TO lend a hand
where II is needed-wil go long
way out OF his course to tow some ono

he is good fisherman too, but Is apt TO

Fishing in Ashoknn Bowl.

Concerning fishing In the nearby
Ashokan Reservoir, c. S. Preston. secre-
tary OF the Ulster County Fish and
Game Protective Association, Kingston,
N. Y, writes:
ITO the editor and friends OF Sir Izaak
Walton. we say that when you talk OF
fishing you want to think OF Ulster
couhty, New York. One can go by
train, but the better way Is by automo-
bile. starting from Kingston. One
should heaa toward the Ashokan Reser-
voir, going by way OF the south shore,
and In thirty minutes you are at the al
vidinB weir OF that great engineering
feat constructed by New York city.
The game played in this bowl needs
only one Kind OF tackle. Sometimes
the player may he backed by a tapered
line. which would be In true cole ye
style, but the man who gets In run
for twenty or thirty yards comes from
the bushes with any old line.
'One thing certain Is that YOU will al
ways have an opponent. for coming down
the Sides Of this gigantic bowl IL the
rushing Esopus. II you have ever fshed
this river or it's tributaries, enough said,
for these. as far back as Big Indian
and Pine Hill, contain specNled or native
trout, while the Esoups contains brown
and rainbow trout.
when you know that both Of these
run as high as eight pounds you must
not rave, or II will be proof that you
never fshed In Ulster county. In these
waters we plant about 500. 900 fry and
hrSerings each year

II cannot be gotten into the mouth q
great distance.
A bass, II you will study its actions
in taking an artificial, will either strike
up from below the minnow or will rush
in front OF II, turn sharply and strike Il
amidships or across the centre. When
It thus fastens to the minnow 1t Is In
stantly hooked, and In 90 cases out OF
100 that gang gets caught In the carti-
lage, or edge OF the mouth.
II Is surely the exception to the rule
where an artificial gang will get caught
in the gills. Therefore, on this count,
the gang hook (as recognized on the
artincial) In tho most sportsmanlike OF
tho two. refor here to one gang, not
many.
An artificial should never have over
two gangs on rs person. A single belly

across q bait will hook up thus on the

edge Of the mouth. Which, therefore,

.pubber Neck. Bait for Bass.

When a Ash 10 hooked after he has
sunk his teeth into n nice. juicy piece
OF bait he at least has the satisfaction
OF having had nibble at something
worth while as a compensation for his
doom. Hut tho latest thing in bass bait
does not give him even that satisfaction
The latest novelty is the rubber neck
bait. The rubber neck bait Is an iini-
tation of pork bait. It consists OF
littla wad OF white rubber, throush which
hook is drives, and to which Is at
tached a little narrow psnnant OF pure
white sheet rubber.
This bait reproduces perfectly" says
tho inventor "the serpentine wriggl'ng
motion OF a real live ninnow when seek
ing cover. Beside being very durable 1t
has tho advantage over real PORK bait
of hoine eagy TO carry and clean to use.'
The rubber neck" Is rapidly betom-
ing popular with bass fishermen. the
bait ia attached either directly to spoon
hook or IL fastened b. lacking in back
OF a floating wooden minnow.

Kit Clarke, believe 1t was said that
the artificial minnoYs are the most
fredish devices that a fisherman can
possibly use. He was undoubtedly
thinking OF the many ganged artificials
i agree with him on that count. How
ever, artifcials are nc " made bearing
few hooks even one single hook In one
production.
4 FISH upon striking this plug Is not
fettcred up in tho least, but has full
swing and play. wherein the many
hooked artificial OF the past was Grim
iral offence the bass when II hit that
minnow, was so hooked up that 1t could
not move. 1t came to net like an mani
mate stick. Thanks TO that fact tho
fishermen, by and large, did not fal!
all over themselves 10 use such con-
tr!vances, for they soon passed into the
discard to give way to more sane and
useful lure.
Some artlncials are now made so that
you can carry n few hooks In n box
in your pocket--each hook being a sin
gle. not n gang. These single hooks
have a snap device on the end You
can snap on ono single hook (and use
just that) or snap on two or three 70
suit your taste. This Is n very good
idea.
Another artificial is 50 made that a
double hook can be threaded on to n
steel loop. One double hook can be used
or two double hooks, ne you choose.
Such artif1cials are not only sportsman
like but they have proven useful in fish,
ing even In the weeds and the pads.
