Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Link, Vol. 2: September 1953 If you like to fish - and who doesn´t - you´ll enjoy a tour of duty in Hawaii. In Hawaii, everybody fishes! Small-fry Kanaka (Hawaiian) boys with look boxes, diving masks, and swim flappers spear fish offshore. Fully-dressed, mammoth-sized Hawaiian women in their holokus (long dresses) and wide-brimmed lauhala hats wade out to the reefs looking for opihi, the small shellfish delicacy hiding in the seaweed. Uniquely Hawaiian is the torch fisherman strolling warily along the reef in the dark of night, in one hand a spear ready to plunge and in the other a torch. Or perhaps the torch is tied to his back, its light attracting to the surface the marine occupants of the night-blackened reef. In the light of day along the same reef the surf caster, with his calcutta rod and 6/0 reel and using squid, eel, or shrimp for bait, pulls in an uncounted variety of fish which come in great numbers to the shallow waters to feed on smaller fish. More adventuresome is the shore caster working at night from the treacherous rocks lining the shore. Huge waves often roll in without warning, sweeping the unwary fisherman out to sea. There is many a stone marker along the lava rock shores indicating a spot where a shore fisherman was last seen. The reward for such hazardous sport is the great ulua, any of several large cavallas highly prized as food and game fish. Other rock fishermen include the graceful and statuesque net throwers (see front cover). This art is mastered quite skillfully by Polynesian natives. Net fishing is also involved in the old Hawaiian hukilau (fishing festival). About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
