Excerpt from Sea Fish and How to Catch Them It is my intention, in this little work, to deal principally with the modes of fishing usually practised on our own coast, and the description of tackle and baits which will be found most useful to those who visit the sea-side on health and pleasure-seeking expeditions. I shall also give a few hints and directions as to the best description of outfit for those going abroad. Many of the remarks which I shall have to make will apply' to the mouths of large tidal rivers, as many sea-fish at times visit such localities. Trusting that my readers may spend as many agreeable hours in search of old ocean treasures as I have. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Sea Fish How to Catch Them I write this little book with a view to furnishing that which numerous friends and correspondents have been long asking for, viz., an inexpensive, plain book on sea fishing and sea tackle. Those of my readers who have chanced, in their wanderings, to have been, like me, cast into all sorts of odd nooks and corners of this world of ours, will not fail to remember how requisite it is to be enabled to fall back on some such occupation as fishing, to pass pleasantly away hours which would otherwise pass slowly or, perchance, gloomily.

Excerpt from Sea-Fishing as a Sport: Being an Account of the Various Kinds of Sea Fish, How, When, and Where to Catch Them in Their Various Seasons and Localities IN the following little volume I have endea voured to lay before the public a plain and practical work on Sea Fishing, a book which has been long wanted, there never having been one published which treated solely on this subject. In it I have given a brief account of the British fisheries, and a descriptive statement of each of the most important kinds of fish found on our coast, with a View to induce those who migrate every year from the interior of the country to the coast, to make Sea Fishing in all its branches a distinct pursuit quite as much as salmon fishing.

Excerpt from Fishes I Have Known The subject of fish and fishing has always been of such interest, particularly to inhabitants of sea girt lands, that this book (professedly non technical) recording my experience of the life and habits of fishes, and the various modes of capturing them in Great Britain and elsewhere, does not, I think, require much justification for its existence.

Excerpt from Fishes and Their Ways of Life Many keen fishermen have a particular devotion to that form of the art which is practised from a boat, and among their number I certainly include myself. I have Often practised their art in the past, and I practise it still. At any fit and proper time I am prepared to accompany a friend to river, lake, or sea, especially the sea. And so I find delights unknown to the Shore fisherman. I am brought closer to creatures which must be watched for if they are to be caught, and I have a greater Share in their existence. Fishing is no longer a sedate and tranquil form of recreation, no longer a mere stroll along a river bank, or an excuse for a nap; it becomes something more in the nature of hunting, of the chase. It has attractions and dangers all its own. But I do not always confine myself to that common type of fishing which is concerned with catching fish and nothing more. I am after something more than this, and I use special gear. As a naturalist I fish because I seek to garner all the living creatures that dwell in the waters so that I may know them all and learn all about them. The world of waters does not consist only of the fish we use for food. Together with these live other creatures having a place and usefulness of their own. And they are all worth knowing. So.

Excerpt from Some Fish and Some Fishing Knowing that the period of a man's hard-riding days is limited, I prepared for the inevitable some years since by making a pastime of sea-fishing. I have fished for most fish that swim in the American waters, both in the Atlantic and in the Pacific. The fish that interests me the most is the tarpon (megalops atlanticus). I have fished for the tarpon in Florida waters every month in the year excepting in midsummer, all along the Gulf Of Mexico as far as Aransas Pass, and in the Panuco River at Tampico, Mexico. I have also fished around the coast Of Cuba and the Isle of Pines. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Fresh Water Fishes of New England and Those Ascending the Streams From the Sea Full-grown fishes have generally some distinct marks by which they can be recognized with certainty. It is not so easy with the young, which often differ greatly from the old ones in shape as well as in color and markings. Their eyes are proportionately larger, their bodies slimmer (see drawing of silvery ishiners). Young salmon have black crossbars like yellow perch. Etc., etc. Males and females often differ greatly, particularly in the spring. In examining a young fish, compare the fins with the description in the key. This will lead to a cer tain group of fishes; and if the specimen is not readily found among them, examine the shape and position of the mouth, the shape of the gill covers, and the size of the scales; find by measurement how many times the length of the head and the depth of the body are contained in the length of the fish; then compare the specimen in these respects with the drawing of the fish most like it in other particulars. The Latin names of fishes have often been changed. The names here used are taken from Prof. D. S. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
