PpGrJE FISHING KEEPS LINE WET IN
t - WINTER MONTHS
In’ "the book Birthplace of the ‘Winds
the Pogie fish, sometimes .called Green
fish, red rock .trout- or Japanese perch
is referred to., as- being delicious when
prepared and-fried*. r. \ ■
Not knowing whether this is true or
not because, of ,the ...fact- that worms were
discovered in one that was caught and
the rest were thrown away the fact still
remains that fishing for sporty the Pogie
will givp . .you ye am ..round entertainment- in
being able to:catch them nearly;any time
of the:day, winter or summer. <
One1 "favorite spot for catching them icd
the Breakwater9i Using a float and a. hook "
baited with anything from bacon rind, to
hot dog you.Ml soon have a. fighting Pogie
at the. end of your line. ... p
The" Pogie is usually black with a .
greenish cast, covered with irregular . , .
spots 'of light tan. Inside of* the mouth
and under the jaw . it is light green and
the flesh, and viscera are,green. The
green flesh, turns to white when cooked. ...
Other specimens are brownish olive mott
led on the back and sides and are spotty
with bluish green; under parts are,yellow
and the flesh is white. Then again there
are Pogies that are a rich dark red in
color like the fronds of kelp that they |
seem to live nearby. ., _
