True Fish Story Large shoals of barracouta in the French Pass area last week had their numbers considerably reduced by two commercial fishermen, Messrs J. Hunter and W. Goodman, in the launch Anita. Writing from Freeh Pass, Mr Hunter states that he and’ his mate using four lines and ’couta dummies for bait caught 1147 of the fish in four hours. In an hour and a half they had landed and trimmed 223 fish ready for market, half of that time being taken up with the trimming. They continued filling the boat at the rate of 300 an hour or five a minute. It was a case of fastest ’couta winning the dummy, for as soon as the bait hit the water a fish was on it, and shoals were fighting for a chance. In four days the total score was 4257 barracouta.
