Summary

Pathe synopsis: Shark fishing - a sport normally associated with tropical climes, is now being practised off the Cornish coast. Following shoals of mackerel and pilchards on the Gulf Stream, some of these evil-looking scavengers are coming to a sticky end on hooks wielded, in many cases, by British holiday-makers out for a new-style day’s sport.
