THE BLUEGILL TIP-UP
By Gm. W. HAEVZY
When fishing for bluegill: in the old way with a half dozen lines tied to the gunwales of the boat, one has to feel the lines with his hands to see whether he has any bites or not. Frequently one does this feeling at exactly the wrong time so that one scares the fish away.
Now I just take a few staples or double-pointed carpet brads and drive them into the gunwale: of the boat so that I can slip a tapered twig or a bit of whittled lath under them. With the line becomes a tip-up to signal when I have a bite on any of my hooks. With this arrangement it ¡s easy to tend to half a dozen lines, and I rarely lose any bites.
