Fishing Records
Two catches of deepwater fish the latter probably a record, were made during the weekend. The first was the landing of a shark which measured 9 feet 1 inch in length, at Ohiwa Beach, and the second was the catching of a hapuka weighing 201bs from the Heads by Mr A. Seebeck. In the case of the latter, a number of old residents among the Maoris have described the catch as unprecedented.
