Any fish whose mouth is large enough to take a blood wormtakes the hook right in its mouth, so that it ismuch better if the worm is hooked by the skin,first at one end, then in the middle, also at theother end; by this means the worm lives, acts ina natural manner, and is more attractive to the216. How to Get Them fish, drawing them to tlie bait much sooner, andenticing them to take it with greater and sand worms are (juite long enough toallow at least an inch of each end to hang downand wriggle. There is one disadvantage in hooking them bythe skin because smaller kinds than those fishedfor are apt more easily to tear the baitThem^ off and so get away with it; but I findthat this happens less often than mightbe supposed, for the larger fish drive small onesaway when they see a kicking worm. When no other bait is available, the large nightwalker is very effective in running water justbefore dark, both for bass and pickerel. It shouldbe hooked by the skin and allowed free play,wriggling as it runs with the water, behind rocksand stumps. It is also just as deadly with thesalmon, but for the latter a few shot put on theleader to keep it below the surface will be need-ful.
