Latest Fish Story: How To Catch Fish With A Steel Pipe
Believe it or not, but here is the latest in fishing incidents. Some days ago a party of visitors went fishing off a beach near Raglan. Their sinkers were made in the style usually adopted off the rocky Taranaki coast, viz., they comprised a piece of piping attached to the line itself by No. 10 wire, the whole resembling a grapling iron. One man, with a swing, threw out the line, which broke, leaving him lamenting the loss of a good sinker and two hooks. Next day another visitor, fishing bent at the same spot, noticed a big schnapper about 121 b lying on the beach. Sure enough it had taken the bait on a hook on the detached line and sinker, and had been cast up by the tide. The man subsequently related his experience with gusto to another man, the very one who had lost the line.
