Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tarpon Fishing in Mexico and Florida I propose, with the aid of the reader's imagination, to take him along with me for a few days' sport among the Mexican tarpon. I had decided to start from the town, and fish my way down to the mouth of the river, so I leave the hotel about 9 a.m., and follow my dark-complexioned boatman. After five minutes' walk we embark in a small row-boat, and set off down a narrow and dirty backwater. The bait consists of some twenty recently killed silvery mullet, as they are locally called, something the shape of a cigar, and varying from 6 to 9 inches in length. I select one of these and pass the barb of the hook, which is over 3 inches long and 1% inches broad, through the throat and out through the skull, and notice at the same time that my hand is not quite so steady as usual at 9 o'clock in the morning. Of course I tell myself that I do not expect a strike for at least an hour after entering the river, nor really until I am within a mile of its mouth, as I have been told that spot is a special favourite with the tarpon. Attached to the hook is a piece of piano wire 5 feet long, then come 200 yards of twenty-seven-ply tarpon line. This is wound on a multiplying reel whose only brake consists of a button, by moving which I can apply a small amount of friction to the drum and lastly, my 6-foot rod, -a frail enough apparatus, I think, with which to land a fish 6 feet long and every inch a fighter.

Download or read book Glory of the Silver King written by Hart Stilwell and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-07 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A tribute to a fish, a sport, and a time now past . . . Through a series of chance encounters over several years, fishing guide and journalist Brandon Shuler unearthed multiple drafts of a nearly finished manuscript by an almost forgotten Texas sports writer, Hart Stilwell. Titled “Glory of the Silver King,”the manuscript vividly captured the history of tarpon and snook fishing on the Texas and Mexico Gulf Coast from the 1930s to the end of Stilwell’s life in the early 1970s. Stilwell was a seasoned outdoors journalist with a passion for salt-water fishing. Now, with Shuler’s careful research, editing, and annotation, this lost manuscript has found new life as both an entertaining “fish tale” and a historical snapshot of a region’s natural heritage. It successfully conveys the thrill of fishing for these once abundant species at the same time it tracks—and laments—the rise, decline, and eventual fall of their fisheries in Texas (which Shuler is able to report are now experiencing a rebound). In a personal and informative introduction, Shuler paints a portrait of Stilwell and tells the story of the discovery and evolution of the manuscript. He also provides a look into his own life as an angler and writer, creating a connection with Stilwell that gives the work authenticity and relevance. Anglers will delight in Stilwell’s rollicking prose. Environmentalists will appreciate the book’s lesson in ocean conservation. For all who live on or near the Gulf Coast, Glory of the Silver King reintroduces a forgotten literary treasure and a magnificent fish that once filled the waters at our favorite coastal retreats. "Hart Stilwell was a world-class raconteur and storyteller. His unpublished manuscript on the glory days of coastal fishing became an underground legend, passed around like a sacred totem for decades. Editor Brandon Shuler has revived Stilwell’s folksy charm and penetrating insights, and the result is this engaging and important book."--Steven L. Davis, curator, The Wittliff Collections
