Fishrelease tips

The idea of returning to
water some of the fish you
catch is becoming more
popular.

Here are some tips from
Mercury outboards’ fishing
experts that will increase the
chances of survival for fish
released to the wild.

1. Use barbless hooks if you
intend to release all the fish
you catch, regardless of size.

Barbed hooks can be
changed by mashing down
the barb with pliers.

2. Don't play a fish tdo long
on light, inadequate tackle.

This tires the fish, depletes
its reserve energy and causes
the release of vital body
fluids which further weakens
the fish.

3. If you don’t intend to
keep a fish for cating,
release it immediately.

Long stays in live wells, on
stringers or in fish baskets,
can damage fish and make
them susceptible to disease
and predation upon release.

4. Avoid excess handling of
fish. Try to release them
from the hook without
removing the fish from the
water,

3. If you must pick up a fish,
‘grab large-mouthed — fish
(those without sharp teeth)
by the lower jaw,

Hold small fish with your
hand over the back behind
the gills. Don't squeeze.

“If you are and you'd like to pose as a Sun-

Sunshine Girl of the North Shore News is a
bright, fresh feature and has enormous

_ popularity with readers, advertisers, and the
models themselves.

“In the years that 've been photographing
Sunshine Girls, it has become apparent that
women 17 years and older have the poise and
confidence to project the strong aesthetic
qualities demanded of this photo feature. As far
as possible, I'd like to have models of that age.

is a sure way to kill fish.
