The principall sport to take a Pike, is to take a Goose or Gander, orDuck: take one of the Pike Lines I have shewed you before: tye theLine under the left wing, and over the right wing, about the body, asa man weareth his Belt: turne the Goose off into a Pond, where _Pikes_are, there is no doubt of sport, with great pleasure, betwixt theGoose and the _Pike_: It is the greatest sport and pleasure that anoble Gentleman in _Shropshire_ doth give his friends entertainmentwith. The way to make the b...est paste is, Take, a reasonable quantity offresh Butter, as much fresh sheeps Suet, a reasonable quantity of thestrongest Cheese you can get, with the soft of an old stale whiteloafe; beat all this in a Morter till it come to perfect paste; put asmuch on your hook as a green pease. There are many wayes to take Eeles: I will shew you a good way to takea dish of Eeles. When you stay a night or two Angling, take four orfive Lines, such as be laid for _Pikes_, of fourteen or fifteen yardslong, and at every two yards make a noose, to hang a hook armed eitherto double thred, or silk twist; for it is better then wyre: Bait yourHooks with Millors-thumbs, Loaches, Menowes, or Gudgins: tye to everynoose a Line baited: these Lines must be laid crosse the River in thedeepest places, either with stones, or pegged, so the Line lie in thebottome of the river, there is no doubt of taking a dish of Eeles; youmust have a small neeld with an eye, to bait your hooks.
