artificial lures or small fish. The
recently constructed jetties extend
ing into the Gulf from Padre and
Brazos islands have become favored
spots with a number Of tarpon
anglers, though most OF them find
more sport in fighting the gamey
fish from boats.
Sea trout, reddish. Jewish. the
latter often attaining huge size, are
among the varieties caught in the
coastal waters Of the Valley. The
trout are Of two varieties, speckled
and sand trout, and both are game
fighters, assuring anglers good sport
throughout the summer and early
autumn months.
Trout are usually caught in the
channels formed by action of tides
within the bay. and excellent fishing
grounds are located only a short dis
lance from the mainland. Shrimp
are used for bait, and the trout
strike is much like that Of the
black bass. The strike" al
most as soon as the bait hits the
water. and il is so vicious that the
fish seldom fails 70 hook securely.
Giant Jewish Captured
The Jewish is the largest Of the
edible fish taken from the coastal
waters Of the Valley. The favorite
feeding grounds are near the mouth
Of the river or the passes into he
Gulf. the ietties at Padre and
Brazos islands being one OF the best
fishing places for those desiring 70
hook this variety. They range in
size from 10 pounds 10 600. and they
never fail to make a fight. The cap
ture of a 400, 500 or 600-pound
Jewish Is not uncommon. but the
average will run between 25 and 90
pounds. Their meat Is Of excep-
tionally fine texture, white and de-
licious in flavor.
Shark and giant gar fish also fur
nish thrills for the anglers, especial
ly at the mouth OF the Rio Grande
where g. and 9-footers are occasion
ally captured. Both the shark and
gar are worthless except for the
sport they furnish. They will bite
on anything and everything, but
Z &c hooked they are real fighters.
Ground and shovel nose shark are
the common varieties, though some
anglers contend that the man-eat-
ing varieties are occasionally seen
cruising around the mouth Of the
river.
Resacas Well Stocked
Practically all resacas in the VAL
ley have been stocked with black
bass and white perch, and excellent
sport is provided for those anglers
who prefer fresh water fishing.
Black bass weighing four TO six
pounds are frequently taken from
the Country Club resaca ear
Brownsville which was stocked with
this variety several years ago. and
they have become SO abundant in
the resaca that the native perch and
g~aspergou have practically disap-
peared. Some OF the larger irriga-
ton canals have also been stocked
with bass and perch.
Though the Iowly catfish II In the
parlance of a sportsman "a dead
one" there are many Valley anglers
who occasionally 20 to the Rio
Grande to try their luck, and the
"cats" are generally responsive 70

angler may rs well bid il q fond
farewell.
Ducks and Quail Plentiful
Practically all sportsmen enjoy
both fishing and shooting, and for
the latter sport the Valley offers
facilities equal to that offered the
fisherman. Ducks, geese, quail,
white wings and doves are abundant
during their respective sc asons, and
for the big game hunters the mes
quite thickets or the "back country"
still provide deer, Mexican lions and
wildcat.
The bird shooting season In the
Valley opens July /, when white
wings are "in season" The season
for ducks and geese opens November
/, and for quail and Mexican pleas
ants, known a. "chachalacas" the
shooting starts December !.
Quail are found in all parts Of the
Valley, but in the brush lands there
are myriads Of the birds where they
nest almost u~ndisturbed year after
year. Brush shooting requires skill
and quickness which the hunter DON
acquires. Scores OF Valley sports
men have become adopts in the art
Of brush shooting. and pronounce the
sport much superior to that Of the
open fields Of the north, once the
fnack OF getting quick sight on the
birds is acquired. Very little quail
shooting is done in the developed
sections Of the Valley. most Of the
hunters going into the brushlands
where the birds are plentiful ana
they are practically assured Of Sc
curing the bag limit.
Duck Shooting to January 81
When the duck shooting season
opens on November /, there are
thousands Of the birds in the waters
Of the Valley, and the number is
daily augmented by flights from the
, north. As a rule there is little shoot
ing done before the middle of No
vember, by which time the northern
flight" begins to arrive in the winter
feeding grounds.
The first "northerD Is the signal
for the experienced Valley sports
man to don his hunting garb and
seek the coastal regions. He knows
that on the wings of the chill wind
from the north the ducks will be
coming down in myriads. SnugIy
esconced behind some sand pile or
blind far out on n sand bar into the
bay or lagoons he is assured Of the
bag limit.
After the first few hours Of the
"norther" the skyline along the
coast II checked with the stream OF
duck coming into the winter feed
ing grounds. Hour after hour their
numbers increase. In his snug camp
among the sand dunes the hunter
hears the constant whirr OF w,rg5
throughout the night, and with day
light comes the view of countless
thousands Of ducks -beddedS upon
the waters of the lagoons. The
flight from the north continues until
the "norther" has "blown itself
out" and from that time until the
season closes the hunter Is assured
d day Of sport any time he chooses
to 90 70 the coast.
Remain All Winter
Many Of the ducks and geese re-
main on the Valley coastal waters
all winter. and the shooting Is gen.
orally good until the end Of the sea-
son. Pot hunters on the Mexican
side Of the Rio Grande kill thous-
ands of the birds which seek winter

Wildcat and Coyote Haunting
Mexican lions, wildcats and coy
otes are still micro throughout
the brushlands, and provide excel
lent sport for hundreds or Valley
hunters. Cat hunting parties are
the regular vogue with many soprts-
men, especially during the spring
and hummer months when the bar Is
placed on all other kinds OF game.

Many Valley sportsmen have hound
packs, trained TO follow their quarry,
and night-hunting for cats is a de-
cidedly popular sport, except for the
novice who finds it rather difficult
to find his 10y through the thickets
to follow the sound Of the dogs.

The earliest ducks to arrive in the
Valley from the north are the teal,
and the yare followed by the red
heads, bluebills, mallards, widgeons
aud greenwings. "A few flocks of
-Canuck" geese show up in the
latter part of November, after their
northern feeding grounds are frozen.
Redheads and mallards constitute
the majority Of the ducks wintering
on the lower Gulf coast. When the
morning and evening flights are on

that Is the fact that he v knows
