MANY SEEK TOHEROAS
High Winds At Muriwai INK, Preu, AsKnnutirm) AUCKLAND, July 2. High winds blowing off the Tasman failed to daunt hundreds of Toheroa seekers Who went to Muriwai on Saturday for the first day of the IS6I season but further north the numbers were fewer. The inspector of fisheries at Dargaville (Mr A. H Taylor) said that the number of people on Bayly’s coast was the lowest he had seen for many years on the opening day. Toheroas were present in large numbers and people had no difficulty in finding them. A number of cars were stuck in the sand at Muriwai and had to be hauled clear. As today dawned bright and dear the crowds at Muriwai were attain hunting toheroas but the numbers a* Darsaville still remained small The crowd at Muriwai was at its Larses* by 5 pm and catches were eerily made, Mr Taylor said that the toheroea were not in the bes’ condition and were very thin compared with recent years. The reason was that the feed had only just started coming in on the tides and he expected their condition to pick up soon.
