FISHING
(AccOrding to
Iz1ak WQLtOn)

Erl Roman, in his Anglers Notes
in the Miami Herald, calls atten
ton to the fact that conservative
forces are singing their song SO
loud and lauding so highly another
nearby resorts flag system denot-
ing released sailfish, that visiting
anglers are getting the idea either
that there are not so many sail
fish ip the Miami area or that the
boatmen are unsportSmanlike for
not releasing fish.
Roman goes on to prove, by &C.
tual figures, that one So-called un-
ethical Miami captain released
more fish in the course of the two
weeks Of the tournament last year
than did lat boats in the first four
days Of a like contest at the other
resort, although there were caught
81 fish as against 81 for the one
Miami captain.
In summation, he points out
that misleading statements, no
matter how we'll meant, injure
the sport of fishing and are apt to
breed i'll feeling among sport
fishing communities, where there
should be only harmony and CO,
operation.
District Need
Conservation is fine in its place
ard there is a distinct need for
the right kind in our fishing &C
tivitieS, as the wharves of any
fishing section will attest, but to
further it, no cne has the right
to make misleading statements or
to hold up to scorn another for
following their own desires, re-
gardless of whether they are swim
ish or otherwise.
Would it be possible to imagine
asking a party, in many cases on
their first trip to the Gulf Stream,
to release a fish that in addition
to being strangely beautiful, has
supplied them with a thrill such
as they have never experienced
before. Yes - even though the
catch would run to several or
more. Certainly the boatman is
net expected to do it, with an in
vestment of many thousands of
dollars in boat and equipment, so
that he is enabled to earn a living
Ia your enjoyment of the sport.
Docking with a real catch is
the crowning glory for the en-
bryo angler, who tops off a per.
feet day with the interest of those
waiting to view the catch. We're
for him every time, with hopes
that he has exceptional luck.
Example Would Help
It is not until he has become
proficient from constant attend
ance at his sport and the thrill of

Example Would Help

It Is not until he has become
proficient from constant attend
ance at his sport and the thrill of
the homecoming has in some
measure abated, that the hope, for
a conservative tendency, comes to
mind. The right way to instill this
is most certainly not by talk but
by example. 1t is here that the
flag system seemingly has some
merit, but only if it is universally
used and permitted in no way to
detract from another community.
Contact with these Miami char
ter captains, over a period of many
years, has proved them fine, ca
pable men, with real ability to
handle a great sport in a manner
beyond reproach. They should be
given nothing but help and praise,
and when the time comes for a
just and equable mode Of conserva-
ton, be sure they will meet it in
