The Itch for fishing,h brought on
probably by touches of summer, has
attracted few struggling amateur
fishermen from the city, with un-
christened hook and line, to waste a
whole lot of pent-up patience and
energy in fishing off the pier at Mace's.
The catches are few and far between,
generally tau-tong or two, which
are really winter fish. The summer
tribes haven't put in their appearance
yet, though last year at this time
founders were being caught quite
lively. One fellow was so eager to do
the fishing act properly last week that
he bought a whole bucket of CLAIMS
for bait, lit his pipe, then sat and sat
on the pier. The result was nary a
nibble, but he's going to try it again.
1t will only be very few weeks before
the fish will be here in plenty and
the fishermen too.
