There were not so many 

 herrings landed as last 

 year, and little was done 

 at curing. Haddock 

 fishing shows a marked 

 improvement, and so 

 doe* the codling ripper 

 fishing. 



Very few herrings landed. 

 Haddock fishing slightly 

 improved, hut codling 

 ripper fishing not so 

 good.

Herring fishing not so 

 good as in 1905. Had- 

 dock fishing also poorer, 

 fewer hoats being em- 

 ployed than usual. The 

 codling ripper fishing 

 was slightly better. 



No fish landed at this 

 creek. Fishermen pro- 

 secute the fishing all the 

 year round at other 

 stations, and they had a 

 prosperous season.

The herring fishing was 

 considerably better than 

 last year's, particularly 

 in June. Haddock fish- 

 ing also shows a slight 

 improvement. The sum- 

 mer and autumn fishing 

 was the best experienced 

 for some years past. The 

 cod fishing yielded simi- 

 lar results, but the cod- 

 ling fishing was a little 

 better.

Haddocks. 





The ripper codling fishing 

 was better than in 1905. 

 but tne haddock fishing 

 was not so good, fewer 

 boats being employed 

 than usual. Fishermen 

 belonging to this creek 

 mostly land their fish at 

 other stations, and had 

 a good season at herring 

 fishing.
