A heavy lead is often used as a means by wliicli the line and baits are not only kept at the bottom when they reach it, but is turned after the manner of a sling round the head of the fisherman, and then cast far out in the surf, to be withdrawn and again thrown as the take of fish or re- newal of bait may render necessary. There are many very great inconveniences attendant on this mode of fishing, and it is far better to lay down a travellei' when. the tide is out. This is done as follows :—Just before the turn of the tide and the coming in of the young flood, select the spot at which you intend trying your fortunes, and then search out a large heavy stone as your traveller hloch, and thus prepare it, with strong twine or whipcord; take two or three turns round the stone and securely fasten off with a knot; then attack a common curtain ring or the link of an old chain. Lay your hlocJc on the edge of the water, pass one.
