BOWLER TURNS TO FISHING
By "Incog"
K. C. Hamilton, Kow- loon Bowling Green Club lawn bowler, "is packing
up bowls to turn his at- tention to deep-sea fish- ing."
Hamilton told me this on Satur- day, when he spoke about the success he had met with in Sydney, Australia, in January- February this year. His bag during those two months included! Seven marlins, which he caught in company with Maxie Lawson, a prominent member of the Deepi Sea Fishing Association in Sydney.
Hamilton says he is convinced mar In and sail-fish, which is a type of marlin, can be caught off Hong Kong waters These fish cannot five in any- thing under 70 degs, and when the water off the Japanese coast is cooling, they migrate to the Philippines, pass- ing Hong Kong on their way down.
Unfortunately, says Hamilton, he has not been able to get any data as to the exact season for marlin fishing berg. but he imagined it should be towards the end of the Summer.
220 Pounder
Hamilton's biggest catch in Sydney was one weighing 220 pounds, which kept him busy for over 11⁄2 hours be fore he finally landed it. The marlins are terrible fighters and they Ko through the water at the rate of 45 miles an hour-their speed 13 their only protection against ger sharks. which make a point of attacking them.
The little marlins are only about 45 pounds in weight, but the real giants Ko up to about 450 pounds, and when they are cought they leap out of the water, the first jump sometimes being as high as 30 feet, though Humilion says the highest jump he saw was only 15 feet.

Unfortunately for him, his first out- ing proved A disappointment in that they ran into rough weather and wind and rain made fishing of any nature impossible. He is now on the look-out for a suitable boat, having al ready got all the necessary tackle, and is rather optimistic about his prospects of landing his Arst marlin here before the year is out.
