FISH LIKE A "NIP."
Anglers at Whitby (England) have' found a novel way of tempting their fishy prey. It happened this way. Two local , anglers set off for a day's fishing at sea | oft' Whitby. But although they cast their | lines for hours they did not hare a single, bite. Finally, fed up, they decided to have , a bite themselves, and were enjoying their [ lunch when one of them had an idea. He poured some whisky over a mussel, and attaching it to his hook lowered it into ] the water. Almost immediately he felt a terrific pull at his line, and landed a fine ; codling, weighing between six and seven pounds. Subsequently "doctored" and "un-1 doctored - ' bait brought good results, but ' the anglers arc convinced that it was (ho "whisky mussel" which attracted the fish.
