pollock, but in tactics he differs from the bass, to suit his quarters. Being deep down among the thick strong seaweed, though not actually on the bottom, he makes a desperate bolt at once for this, his stronghold, and you must hold him out of it, for a 5-lb. pollock takes some holding, and will often break your gut.

He, too, is handsome, when fresh out of water. In shape like mackerel, but much larger, and of more even and less brilliant colouring.

Mackerel are fun when your little yacht is running before a fair breeze and your lines trip along the surface in your wake. Sometimes you pull in several fish at a haul, and they are lively fighters.

In the dark, calm, warm nights, the slimy coiling conger give what some call sport! I don't. It is like hooking serpents in the dark, and very savage snakes they are, biting like their land brothers, though not deadly. Far rather would I fish for those delicious smelts that haunt the piles of little piers at tiny fishing hamlets here and there. You can take them with trout tackle and little white flies. Between a gudgeon and a bleak they seem, and but a little larger. To eat they equal trout, and are much prized by London fishmongers.

The gurnard is a hideous, big-headed brute, which hugs the bottom like a dab or flounder.
