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.
