harrytom 511 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 New rules if I have interpreted right. 7 snapper 3 kings 5 kahawai 5gurnard?? as previous wa 7 snapper 3 kings 10 kahawai 10 gurnard 20 bag limit + allownce on species. Stops the plunder of pink maomao only 20 now instead of unliited. https://www.mpi.govt.nz/consultations/review-of-recreational-daily-bag-limits-for-finfish/ For example, a fisher in the Auckland/Kermadec, Central or Challenger areas can take three kingfish and up to 17 other finfish to make up their daily limit of 20.

Ex Machina 241 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I used to be an obsessive plunderer of fish , especially kingfish . I would be happy with 1 kingfish , 1 snapper and 1 kahawai . Even then that would be far more than my family “needed” . If you “need” more take more people on the boat . Recreational fishing is a first world “want” for the vast majority of people in this country ….the cost of an average tinny would feed a residential street on bought salmon , tuna and scallops for a few years . Average tinny round here would be 100k . 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John B 98 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I had a thread here on this forum maybe 06? 10? Called Scallop dredge wankers. That was after witnessing appalling behaviour and waste at the mercs by you guessed it.... Scallop dredge wankers. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its a bit of a wake up how much people spend on their trailer boat "rig" and by the time you add a 4x4 its most of the way to a decent keeler Quote Link to post Share on other sites

waikiore 242 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Quite right Machina I know of a few 'Tinnys' that cost TP52 money without the tow vehicle, mind you when they park them behind the dairy shed they dont have to organise crew or buy sails...... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chariot 220 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Yep. I know a guy who has just put a new tinny in the water. Paid just over 200k. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Or to be fair, to pay marina costs, which is a biggie. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dagwood 45 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Always had aspirations to get into a D28 or similar. The move away from any DIY maintenance and compliance just makes the entire concept out of reach.. Looks like we'll stick to the tinny in the front yard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yup a bit like who owns the sand “he who has access to supreme legal weight and the ability to take”. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
