These people are hooking tomcod through the ice; I was out with them that day, the middle of May. The fish won’t bite. Three hooks are fastened together on a sinker, then lowered to the bottom of the sea, and jiggled up and down gently. When a fish is passing it becomes impaled on the hook and is drawn to the surface. That is my dog in the foreground., PCA0132-28, Box: PCA0132. Mary Greene Photograph Collection, 1922-1930, PCA 132.
