The bait for 

 these fishes is 

 squid, stai'fish, 

 and the hind 

 slice of almost 

 any other fish, 

 and, as be- 

 fore remarked, 

 there is hardly 

 any other fish 

 in Australian 

 waters that 

 will give better 

 sport to the 

 amateur, or a 

 better finan- 

 cial result to 

 the fisherman. 



A few years ago, when 

 the Harbor Trust was 

 pouring immense vol- 

 umes of silt into the 

 Bay, this fine fish 

 became almost extinct 

 inside the Heads, but 

 as this course lias been 

 alwindoned for the last 

 two or three years, I ;ini 

 glad to see that the Bay 

 is again being fully 

 restocked with this 

 our king of fishes. 

 The smiiller specimens 

 whicli will be seen in 

 the grotto tanks, were 

 all caught off the back
