Yes we wre out in the 45/50m mark off colville on Friday,lots of 28/31 snapper around,Would e happy to take first 7 at that size,sweet unlike the bigger fish. Now if we were serious about increasing fish stock. There are a number of things we can do, 1) no fishing within 1 mile of any shoreline or out lying islands(protect fry etc hiding in kelp ,protects breeding /growing fish 2)no size limit,you catch must be kept 3) no taking any shell fish except kina and no limit on kina,reduce kina barrons and re establishs kelp 4)restrict trawlers out to the 100m mark. 5)

I think if we really want to help rebuild the fish stocks you would completely rewrite the rules... No minimum size. Maximum total number of fish. No throwing back. Once you have caught your limit...No more fishing. Before you say I'm crazy... stop and think about it. I believe the mortality rate on released fish is fairly high... So this stops the killing of many fish on the way to your current limit of 7 Snapper. It will cause fishermen to adjust techniques to minimise catching small fish. However I don't think that will ever happe
