CHAPTER XVIII. LIST OF WATERING PLACES NOT T has struck me that the best way of completing stations not previously mentioned in the book. They have been omitted either on account of my having no detailed information about them myself, or because too near the larger places described to admit of any differences worth special treatment. A moment's glance at the list will put the reader in possession of the nature of the coast in each neighbourhood, and this knowledge, used together with the list of fish (p. 4) and that of tackle (p. 105), should prove of great service. This is a large choice. Still, there is a chance that the reader may be going to spend his holiday at some place that I have not mentioned, though there is no chance that it should not be very near one or other of them. If the fishing is good, he will soon find it out by proper use of this book; if not, he should move to the nearest of the above places, where he will know what to expect and→ what tackle and baits to use. And now, having trespassed on the attention of my readers to some length, I will bow myself off, merely hoping that they may derive the same pleasure from sea-fishing that I have, and that my book may facilitate for them the pursuit of this delightful sport.
