Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Book of the Black Bass I am under obligation to the Century Company for the illustrations of Landing a Double and the Still Fisher. I was desirous to use the former inasmuch as it was originally drawn to illustrate one of my articles on black bass fishing, and my friend, the late Prof. Alfred M. Mayer posed for the drawing. I also extend mv thanks to G. F. Corner for the sketch of the Old Kentucky Angler. It is as well to say that the last addition to the subject that I intended to make was the supplement More About the Black Bass; the credit is due, therefore, to The Robert Clarke Company for this new edition of my book, which has risen, phoenix-like, from the ashes of the former one.

This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Black Bass and Other Fishing in North Carolina North Carolina are known as the Holston and the Hiawassee; the branches of the Holston be ing the trout streams, Watauga and Toe and the French Broad. The Holston making itself up out of several rivers, and going into another river does not hold on to its name for many miles. There are many other small streams, all mak ing their way westward, but all of the waters of this section are more or less similar in character, full or empty, as the rains fall; and their fish life is also similar. Man should not find fault with nature, but man may wonder why some of these streams between the Blue Ridge and the Alleghany Mountains did not make for the Atlantic Ocean through the Blue Ridge, instead of unanimously bulging through the Alleghany Mountains to help the Mississippi River fill the Gulf of Mexico.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Black Bass Milton Lake is a body of water about a mile square, with two outlets, one falling over a pictur esque stone dam twenty feet high into a stream about ten feet wide and the other outlet, a small stream flowing through a mill-gate to the Milton Mills. In each of these streams there are plenty of bass, but in the lake proper and in the little brook that flows into the upper end of the lake, they are in abundance. I pass the lake itself and follow the little stream for about half a mile until I come to White's Farm. This I have found to be the finest fishing ground. The stream is about eight een feet wide at the narrowest part and from fifty to sixty at its widest. It rises miles upon miles back in the country somewhere, and runs rippling and' chattering over the shallows, surging silently over the pools until it empties into the lake. I have never fished higher than White's Farm, being well satisfied with the sport obtained there, but the resident farmers tell me that there is even finer fishing up stream. Like the average fisherman, I am more or less superstitious, and having always had good luck at my favorite place (the edge of a fine piece of wood, which, by the way, contain a few wood cock), I do not care to seek further, and, perhaps, fare worse.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Black Bass and Other Fishing in North Carolina This little book is something more than a sketch of Black Bass fishing. It embraces nearly all the different kinds of fish and fishing in North Carolina. It is written by one who has been an ardent fisherman all his life, and at the same time a modest, yet close student of nature subjects. Many real lies about nature are often more plausible, and readily believed, than some truths. It has not been the writer's intention to encroach upon the domain of the scientist, especially in the use of technical terms; but only to give his observations in plain, practical language. This book is not published with the object of pecuniary gain, so much as for the love of the gentle sport of fishing; and with pleasure it is placed before the public.

Download or read book Book of the Black Bass written by James A. Henshall and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-05 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book of the Black Bass by mid-western medical doctor and author, James A. Henshall, details the complete scientific and life history of the black bass, a genus of freshwater fish in the sunfish family (family Centrarchidae) of order Perciformes. Sometimes erroneously called black trout—the name ‘trout’ more correctly refers to certain members of the salmon family—the black bass are distributed throughout a large area east of the Rocky Mountains in North America, from the Hudson Bay basin in Canada to northeastern Mexico. Black bass of all species are highly sought-after game fish, and bass fishing is an extremely popular sport throughout the bass’s native range. Complete with a practical treatise on angling and fly fishing and a full description of tools, tackle and implements, Book of the Bass is a remarkable work of angling and fly fishing literature on the subject of Black Bass that will appeal anyone “with an interest in a fish that has never been so fully appreciated as its merits deserve.” This edition is the 1904 revised edition, which contains much of the writings in Henshall’s 1889 follow-up, More About the Black Bass. Wonderfully illustrated throughout. “James A. Henshall’s name will always be associated with the Black Bass. Not alone is the sportsman indebted to him, but the ichthyologist as well for the knowledge of this fish.... In a masterly manner the author gives the fullest instruction concerning tools, tackle and implements to be used in black bass fishing, and at the conclusion there is to be read a chapter on fly fishing in its broadest sense.”—The New York Times, 1904

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Me My Boy and the Bass My son, according to well-known authorities, fishing with rod, hook and line was first undertaken immediately following the flood. It was common pastime in the Trojan age and prevailed in the time of the Romans. Several hundred years ago the jointed rod, wooden reels, and home-made lines were used by those devoted to the art of angling. There were not so many enthusiasts then as now, our ancient friends having among them the humanitarians who decried the killing of fish. As the world progressed and man became broader in his ideas and students of the art gave out the virtues which it possessed in book form, the devotes became more numerous. As their number increased and the interest in angling became more intense, it was established that long life, pleasure and skill, followed its indulgence and improvements in the implements employed were manifest. In this advanced age, when the individual is inclined to live at a rapid pace, endeavoring to do in 'a day what was formerly accomplished in a month, the exhaustion, nervous depression and impaired condition physically which follow, prompt him to seek for that relief which will rejuvenate. The desire to shun the crowded city, to drive away business cares, to play w, th nature in her simplicity, has, in fact, enlisted a mighty army of anglers. They camp by the river, lake, or sea, and include men, women and children. The mother of invention has provided material alike for the use of those skilled in the art and the novice who fishes forfun. Rods of many kinds are available, and the clock-like mechanism of the modern reel makes some of them luxuries to own. Experts provide fish hooks of wonderful strength, beauty and finish. Lines are braided from the poorest linen to the costliest silk, and even baits which 'would deceive the trained eye are manufactured.

Download or read book Black Bass written by John Alden Knight and published by . This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1949, John Alden Knight's "Black Bass" enforces the idea that enjoying a sport to its fullest is only possible when one also understands every aspect of the sport, from its inception to its technicalities and everything in between. Gaining greater insight into a sport such as bass fishing will make for more successful fishing trips and more celebrated and meaningful catches. In "Black Bass," Knight offers everything fishermen need to know about smallmouth and largemouth bass. He focuses on both equally, as he believed neither is the more superior group. Readers will learn about the life cycles, characteristics, behaviors, diets, and feeding habits of both types of bass. Understanding where and how these fish exist will help aspiring and novice fishermen with the next step: catching them. The second half of Knight's book provides readers with various methods of securing bass while on the water. Chapters are devoted to rods, reels, lines and leaders, lures, and incidental equipment, as well as specific techniques fishermen can use and the advantages and proper handling of each. "Black Bass" is an entertaining and informative book for bass fishermen everywhere and represents a lifetime of study and fishing in many sections of the United States.
