Effective today, deep sea Fishing has come to K-Bay. Station Special Services has -tt up a 12-week trial program it to the charter boat Aukaka. Charted by David G. Nottage. Deep sea fishing parties of six persons will sail from Kewalo Basin (Honolulu's Fisherman's Wharf area) at 7 a.m. and return late in the afternoon. Trips will normally be scheduled for Wednesdays, but special arrangements may utilize other weekdays. All equipment for fishing, including bait, will be provided on the "haole sampan" Aukaka. The only thing, not pro- Ided will be food and beverage. Cost per trip is $75, but each man need pay only $5. special Services kicks in the additional $45 to make up the total cost. With unit commander's approval, the $5 cost-per-man may be paid from the man's unit recreation fund. Requests must be made no later than Wednesday of the week prior to the requested date of the trip. Personnel desiring to make reservations may do so by calling MCAS Special Services, ext.: 73520 or 72548, Best results will be obtained by groups of six. but indi- vidual requests will be accepted. The boat will be chartered only after requests for a total of six are received. Cancellations cannot be made after the boat is chartered a week in advance. Cancellations and "no shows" at sailing time will still have to pay the $5 charge. Individuals will have to provide their own transportation to and from Kewalo Basin. With the marlin and other deep sea fishing so good in the islands at present, Special Services is making a giant step forward in providing this serv- ice to K-Bay-based military personnel.
