Fish trapped in dock

A large catch of trevalli was made at Port Chalmers yesterday in a very simple manner. When the trawler Express was being taken into dock she was followed in by many hundred trevalli, and as the water was pumped out a very animated scene was witnessed, a large number of men and boys scooping the fish out with their hands or any other suitable article they could get hold of. One of the primitive fisherman stated that well over 1000 fish were taken from the dock. — ODT, 11.2.1919
