Before it was really light he had his baits out and was drifting with
the current. One bait was down forty fathoms. The second was at
seventy-five and the third and fourth were down in the blue water at one
hundred and one hundred and twenty-five fathoms. Each bait hung head
down with the shank of the hook inside the bait fish, tied and sewed
solid and all the projecting part of the hook, the curve and the point,
was covered with fresh sardines. Each sardine was hooked through both
eyes so that they made a half-garland on the projecting steel. There was
no part of the hook that a great fish could feel which was not sweet
smelling and good tasting.
