Until recent years the great
fighting sea fish of the Florida
waters were considered the game
of millionaires only. But now any
one with a little patience and time
at his Tor herr disposal cdii land
the finny monsters, enjoying some
of the most thrilling and healthful
sport in the world. Indeed, the
huge leaping tarpon and it's lordly
rival, the sail fish, the barracuda,
tiger of the seas, and many other
species are caught almost every
day in the year, summer as well as
winter.
Stretching South from st.
Augustine to Key West is a semi
tropical winter playground, acces-
sible all the way by railroad and as
far South as the Southern ex-
tremity of Florida by the Dixie
Highway. There are hundreds of
beautiful resorts skirting the At
lantic ocean, the Indian and Hall
fax rivers, the latter being large
inland waterways which parallel
the Atlantic. They are gaily
dotted with yachts, motor boats,
and house boats. There is always
some boat to take the visitor after
the great leaping fish, and there
are Accommodations to suit all tastes
and pocket books.
Nations Winter Playground.
The big game of the country may
be fast disappearing. but the al
most endless variety of fish found
in these waters shows evidence
of diminution, according to the
commercial fishermen who are en-
gagged in an industry running well
up into the millions. More than
six hundred different species of
fish are known, and more than 275
Edible varieties have been counted
IN the waters off Miami alone.
They constitute a source Of sport
tor the humblest as well as the
Healthiest citizen.
Today intending fishermen can
visit this fishermen's paradise in a
fivver or a Pullman car. The
Dixie Highway skirts the East
Coast Of Florida from st. Angus
tine to Royal Palm State Park, a
distance of more than four hundred
miles. 1t is the longest marine
drive in the world, and in good con-
dition. IL runs along the famed
Indian river for more than 120
miles. One sees huge live oaks

In a recent fishing trip from
Miami II. &. Duncan, and Mr.
