BOWLER TURNS TO FISHING

"By "Incog"

K. C. Hamilton, Kow- loon Bowling Green Club lawn bowler, "is packing

bowls to turn his at- up tention to deep-sea fish- ing."

Hamilton told me this on Satur- day, when he spoke about the success he had met with in

ira January- Sydney, Australia, 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 Deep 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 Kon walers. These fish cannot live in any thing under 70 degs, and when the water off the Japanese coast is coulkig. they migrate to the Philippines, pass.

Unfortunately, says Hamilton, he has not been able to get any data as to the exact season for marlin Ashing here. but he imagined it should be towards the end of the Summer.

220 Pounder

Hamilton's biggest calch 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 Ro through the water at the rate of 45 miles an hour their Sziced

The little marlins are only about 45 pounds in weight, but the real glonts go up to about 450 pounds, and when they are caught they leap out of the water, the first jump sometimes being as high as 30 feel, though Hamilton says the highest jump he sow was only 15 feet.

Disappointing Start

When he was in Sydney, Hamilton used a 36-strand line, but last week. when he went out on a deep-sva Bah- ing expedition for the first time here. he took a 15-strand line, Reason for this was he did not want to risk break- ing his 36-strand line until he had made sure that it was the marlin season |

here.

the

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 boal, having al- ready got all the necessary tackle, and is rather optimistic about his prospects of landing his first marlin here before the year is out.
