Minister closes inner Hauraki Gulf to fishing of rock lobster
harrytom replied to ex Elly's topic in MarineTalk
If you cant catch a decent feed of fish in inner gulf look at your fishing skills or where you fish.Plenty around and dont keep blaming commercial. 4 trawlers operate in the Hauraki gulf and on average extract 100/120 snapper per trawl and its mid water trawling not bottom. Take 100 boats fishing flat rock and take 2 fish each every weekend you do the maths. Last time out we caught nil on the bottom but found snapper only 10m down in 40m of water.They are not constant bottom feders as would lead you to believe. -

Depending on size of area may stick out like the perverbal dog b#$.s Remember gel goes on first in a mould then glassed up. I did a small patch and colour matching was a pain theres white and theres white. in the end resin n paint. Next time will look at durepox,apparently adheres well.

Maybe the old ammunition wharf just south of Maraetai,parking be a issue.

Late 70s a small group of us at school were constantly getting detention for failing to turn up to Wednesday afternoon sports. A new teacher arrived and took the time to find out why werent attendiung. Next minute it was arranged to met at beach at 1.00pm till 3.00pm to sail our P/,sailing dinghies etc none of us went on to greater things . Typical rugby based high school.

I raced a r/c iom in those regattas. Think it was Frank Reevy from up Whangaparoa way that organized sponsor. Got some plaques here somewhere.

1840 The first Auckland Regatta was held on the day the city was founded, 18 September 1840, the day that Captain Hobson's officials raised the flag and 11 years before the first America's Cup contest was sailed in 1851. That first regatta on the Waitemata Harbour was an impromptu three-race event that took place after representatives of Lieutenant Governor William Hobson rowed ashore from the barque Anna Watson and took formal possession of the site in the name of Queen Victoria.

We towed to boat to Coro town last week and caught a sh#t load of Snapper late afternnoon, got talking to a harvester who said where to go and he came past and shook the lines were we tied to. Did it 3 days for us and cost 1doz well worth talking to those guys working the farms,not all farms hold decent fish. Only boat from Coro town.Brilliant.
