A Trawling Cruise

ENCOURAGING PROSPECTS OFF

NINETY-MILE BEACH

r On Saturday the Cygnet fefb Akrraa in the afternoon Tor a trawling expedition off the Ninety mile Beach. The party num bered afcout a dozen gentleman, who are in terested in the proposed trawling industry. The result of the expedition was the secur ing ofn quantity of fish, principally cod, and seme'very large flounder*. The Cygnet got b»ok to .Lyttelton about half put twelve yaitmrday morning Mr William Piteaithly gives the following account of the expedition ;— IWe left Akaroa ah two o'clock on Sun day morning, and steamed down to off the month of Lake Ellesmere, into 15 fathoms of water, where we shot ths trawl. We gradually worked ia towards the shore for two hours,, coming into 12 fathoms. We then lifted the trawl and found a large quantity of elephant fish and sharks ip it. We drnpprd the trawl again and steamed «p and <iown into tan fathoms, with the Same r-nilt, no edible fish being caught, We Wire 23 miles rff Akaroa Beads still in the tame depth of water. At five o'clock we decided to try deeper water, and steamed outirt" 25 fathom?, going north. It was niton! 15'mi'es south of Akaroa Heads, and 10 or 12 miles from the shore.

11 When we got into 25 hi horns we shot the trawl, standing out to the east, and •teamed into 40 fathoms. We lifted the net in about en hour and a half, as it was pet tlng flafk, and we wanted to get back to Ljttettbfv' We ifound five drz o very large •ol*n, on* brill, ono groper, eight or nine terakiki, a dozsn and a half of very fine Cornet', five ekate, one conger eel, asking fish, and a vory few elephant fish. We were, in fact, just getting on to the right ground, and it proved to us that we fre quently could get lots of fish in deep water of from 25 to 40 fathoms. We Bounded for the bo!torn, and found that the whole of ihir. trawiinsr waa over a bottom of fine sand, iplendid trawling ground. Whether the elephant fish had driven the other fish away, or the bad weather had Bent them further from the land, it is hard to say. -•* If we had a 6 firat gone out; into deep water we should, I am convinced, have h»d good hauls of good edible fish. We had with the Cygnet 125 fathoms of line on each j *ids of the trawl, whereas, on the John AodcriOß we had only 75, io with the Cygnet we can trawl in 40 or 50 fathoms water. Wt Intend to have another trial, trawling io deep water only. We rtstarned to Lyt-j teSton af; twenty minutes past twelve o'clock, | on Monday morning, having ceased trawling *t seven o'clock on Sunday evening. We have become co expert in managing the set th»t we can take it in and throw.it out again in twenty minutes. As for the wea ther, it could not have been bitter in every reepeot for a real tesh " I may mention that this was the first time we have found groper in the net. To j#ve you an idea of what the fhh were like, I may say that the soles were fully nighteen inches long, and the brill was about two
