It is also explained that a
string is used for attaching the
sinker, as the string would
break rather than the line in
fiie event the sinker becomes
snagged in rocks.
About four feet up the line
above the' weight, the angler
attaches a No. 6 snell hook. It
is now ready for the bait,
which usually consists of kelp
worms or sand crabs. These
lures bring in perch, sea trout,
flounder, kelp fish or rock
cod. The angler is conscious
of the pull of the surf, but

when a fish strikes, he soon
knows he "has one on."
The angler may .wish to
combine deep sea fishing with
surf efforts. . All he has to do
is to contact troller boats lo
cated at a number of places
along the coast. A complete
tackle outfit is furnished and
he can relax in ease sitting in
a boat chair as he plays out
his line in sea sections where
salmon are apt to be found;
usually three to five miles
from shore. If he goes on out
to 25 miles, hard fighting tuna
will rise to his lure.
