ries:
One of the best all-round bats

water Fishing Is soft-shel crabs.
They may be purchased from any
Of the local fish dealers at from
$50 to $3.50 per dozen, according
to size. A little high in price, but
the angler is always sure of the
fish taking this expensive morsel.
Still crabs may be procured very
cl1eaply, but there is no economy
in buying dead ones, as they spoil
quickly and the flesh IL easily

Peeler crabs are less expensive
than the soft shell ofes. They
