The aggregate weight was 331,1 b. the largest being opb and the smallest All are in exceptionally good condition. The average of the twelve is 21b 12£oz. Me;srs T. Struthers and Bell brought home a bag of thirteen—all good fish, the largest four pounds, and all in first-class condition. Otakeho reports are very hopeful. Mr L. S. Mackie and Mr Putt were out op the Kaupokonui at 4.30 a. in. on the Ist, but had no luck. They then tried the Otakeho, and using the minnow got four each—two of 31bs and two of 21bs.
