Large sharks abound Off Honolulu

from shore. The fish NAV either be
harpooned or hooked, the latter meth

is more dangerous and more difficult.
"The shark fishers need small
launch, n dead horse. some harpoons
or hooks and some large calibrc RI

day or two before the expedition, as
sharks are supposed to like their
horse meat 'high. The horse is tied
at the end Of Il rope and left to float
about sixty feet away from the
launch. and then thc wait for The
sharks begins.
"A shark will usually show up in
