But on the Mississippi, where the jewfish is tough to catch, the boys really have it organized. One stays in the boat and the other, with a lung, goes down on a line. When the jewfish swims near him, he places the hook in his mouth."
PAUL R. SCOTT, Miami

"A great charm of the Florida keys is plug casting and fly casting for bottom fish. When a spear fisherman goes down in one of the holes he cleans it out. He sells his kill to fish houses. If this grows, it will help ruin Florida's tourist business. I believe there will be corrective legislation."
