The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-02-05

jerk pull up a fine u-u, a symetrical
red fish with a very large eye. These
fish are gregarious by nature and
where one is found there are sure to be
others. You will catch them weighing
a pound and sometimes well over that,
though a half-pound u-u is generally
regarded as a good fish.
The u-u when taken from the water
has the silvery appearance of the upa-
palu but unlike the latter grows beauL-
full in death, taking on rich red hde
which remains until decomposition sets
in.
If you stay out till the moon is near
ly overhead and every object on the
bottom can be clearly seen through the
crystal water you will probably notice
a fiat looking fish swimming past your
boat foot or so below the surface. 1t
mas a whitish look and may easily be
mistaken for a piece of paper floating
in the wafer.
1t is an aweoweo, most priced Of all
the night feeders and fish which will
furnish rare sport when running free
ly.
Pull in the hand-line and get out your
bamboo. If you have any spare ones
aboard but them all out, one a. the
bow, another at the stern anl another
amidships. Let your line be fine but
strong and put no weight at all on
it. The shrimp on the hook will
drag it sufficiently down.
All, here they come. The pole in
the stern bends almost double and you
haul out a beauty a pound and half
in weight. Don't play him more than
is necessary, for the school is around
and everywhere silvery flashes in the
water proclaim the presence of fish.
They are biting as fast as you can
haul them out. When the aweoweo are
running really well and you have three
lines out you will not find it an I'M
common thing to have a fish hooked
in the water all the time.
Be careful to let none escape, for
while a bold bitter when hungry, the
aweoweo is very suspicious and an un-
hooked fish will presently get the
whole school restless and then it won't
be long before they have completely
disappeared from the vicinity of the
boat.
The aweoweo, like the u-u, turns a
deep red after death. When taken
from the water it is blotched like a
leper fish but as it's color sets the
queer-looking spots disappear.
1t is the young aweoweo, called ala
lauwaa, whose presence in schools in
the harbor is believed by the natives
to presage royal demise.
The moon has become so dazzling
bright as to be almost bewildering. The
fish have ceased to bite, and as the
sack is well filled, we will up anchor
and thread our way through the glis-
-ening surf into the lagoon and then
to the sleeping shore, well satisfied
with the nights sport.
