Catches of fish made over the holidays by enthusiasts along the west coast south of Cape Egmont have this year been more than usually disappointing. The type of line fishing employed ordinarily yields just enough result to lull the fisherman into a sense of happy expectation. “Not a hundred have been caught the whole season,” paid one disgusted fisherman who is frequently to be seen at the mouth of the Waiongongoro. A strange catch was made several dnys ago by a. lad when fishing at the mouth of the Waiongongoro River. It was just an ordinary kopopa (small kahawai) except that it had three jaws, and, therefore, two mouths. The tongue was in the lower of the two bottom jaws and fastened there. In the upper jaw there was no tongue, but the usual number of teeth were to be seen in both places. The City Council employees are holding a picnic at Plimmerton on Friday, January 27tli.
