UNPROFITABLE FISHING
“NOT WHAT CRACKED UP TO BE" Dominion Special. Auckland. November 20. Fishermen in small boats seem to be having a fairh hard time of it this unsettled weather. Three boats arrived with catches this week, and after reckoning up their expenses they had about 30s to divide amongst each crew. A fisherman who tried to dispose of his catch at one of the North Shore wharves said it was strange these days how housekeepers did not like the trouble of preparing fish for the table, like their mothers used to do. It did not matter how cheap the fish was If it was not thoroughly scaled and cleaned manv of the short-skirted ladies would not look at it. In his opinion fishing was not the game it was cracked up to be. It was something like mini digging. It was pretty well played out, except ill one or two favoured localities.
