PAGE FOUR "' THE CATALINA
'eFHAT REMINDS ME"
By "Three-Six"
That reminds me--and, by the way,
would it not be a good idea to start
a department under this or similar
heading, provided you can coax our
anglers and boatmen to give us ac-
counts of the little incidents that have
happened to so many of us at various
times during our fishing careers ?
These very amusing and interesting
events would certainly entertain your
many readers. This thought occurs to
me after reading Mr. Conn's letter.
Don't revive the "Ananias Club," but
simply ask that the story, so far as
possible, be truthfully recorded, with
perhaps a certain amount of elasticity
if necessary to a fitting conclusion.
But what I started out to say was
that the loss of Mr. Conn's forty-
pound yellowtail reminded me of the
one I lost once at Silver Canyon. I
will be modest and place the weight of
my fish at about twenty pounds, and,
in this connection, will also frankly
state that it was not by any manner
of means the only yellowtail I ever
lost, either. But the peculiar thing
about this particular yellowtail was
that about three weeks later I again
lost this sa~ne fish up at the Isthmus.
I was spending that summer fishing
with my own boat, had a few forty-
pounders located at different points up
along the coast, and generally used to
find them at home on every trip I
made that way.
I came to the conclusion that the
big ones always flocked by themselves,
and that it was the schools of small
yellowtail that traveled up and down
the coast with the currents. However,
to make sure, if possible, I got me a
punch, making a circle of about one-
half inch in diameter, and I spent sev-
eral days down beyond Church Rock
"punching" yellowtail--taking a bite
out of the lower lobe of the tail. The
captain would grasp the fish by the
tail and then reach down and remove
the hook and I would do the marking
The fish were generally rather slow in
recovering, although I was exceedingly
careful in getting them up to the
launch. I was indeed surprised and
pleased to again take one of these
fish, for I had only hoped that there
might be a chance of one of the many
launches getting one of them some
day at some point, little dreaming that
there was ever a chance of my doing
so myself.

IN ATLANTIC WATERS off the coast of Florida, as well as New
Jersey--in Pacific waters along the California and North
Pacific Coasts--in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, Honolulu
and the West Indies--the success of the TarpOreno is recorded
through remarkable catches of Tarpon, Tuna and other salt-
water species, even Swordfish up to 225 pounds.
It's a new thrill-the taking of salt-water fish on artificial bait.
And the Tarp.Oreno has taken most every kind of fighting
salt-water fish.
In the Coast-Oreno and King-Oreno sak-water anglers have b~its
of a similar, erratic, wobbling, diving action to the Tarp.Oreno,
just as strongly equipped, only of smaller size more suitable
for the smaller species.
These baits are recommended for Tarpon, Tuna, Swordfish,
Amber Jack, Barracuda, Kingfish, Jack-fish, Grouper, Albacore,
Channel Bass, Striped Bass, Bluefish, Weak-fish, Bonita,
RobaUo and others, p
