Once again legasea blaming trawlers https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2023/03/increasing-number-of-snapper-caught-in-hauraki-gulf-suffering-from-starvation.html?fbclid=IwAR3EBOSDIlAYbFtpQJwRbjsQ2x5RFFaPVBxlrxyegjoMJG7l3ENSmYzjXFU We had the oppurtunity in 2015 to change but NO legasea were against reccs reporting catch https://www.sanford.co.nz/assets/Press_Release_Hauraki_Gulf_-_issued_28_October_2015.pdf Have only ourselves to blame. https://legasea.co.nz/2017/04/05/feasibility-of-reporting-recreational-catch/

A boat is a vessel carried by a ship. This was installed to me by my grandfather

The average set/haul in the gulf is not as high as you may think average is about 150kg of fish lot of effort for little return. I think deep sea like the orange fleet they would be in tonne per trawl.

Over the yrs of boat ownership. Never brought diesel from a marina, always brought 20lts from high volume stations, kept tank full and added a additive, think it was 10ml per 10lts?empty water trap often. Once bug established .Game over.

If we paid a fee then we can say we are STAKE holders.At the moment we are given a cursory amount even though the Minister must allow for recreational catch. We do not have a birth right to catch fish!!

go to 2.59 https://legasea.co.nz/2022/09/22/legasea-response-to-the-fisheries-amendment-bill-2022/

Holds my interest better due to close racing and its fleet racing not drag boat racing Wonder if Prime will show Sanfran high lights when it happens.

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)

watched the highlights the other night on prime,pity it wasnt more publicized as caught last 10 minutes

And then there's those ho claim to be GUARDIANS of the sea and abuse their power with CUSTOMARY rights. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/east-coast-father-daughter-duo-sentenced-for-black-market-crayfish-poaching-ring/K42XUTKRWJEKJADJU4VAXJ7DBA/

We take if legal,no throwing back due to the risk of barotrauma,yes niwa has done a study and result released later this yr. The youtube clip doesnt show depth but fish swim away I believe sub 10m. This one from Aussie well worth watching and legasea and co,say its not snapper and dismiss it. https://fishingworld.com.au/videos/how-to-videos/video-barotrauma-in-golden-snapper/ Trophy hunters need to be shot.Yes be great to join the 20lb club but not to mount but would given to a family in need like most of our catch.

I believe we should pay a licence fee and that money would pay for more fishary officers. Haven't seen one at our ramp for almost 2 yrs

With your probing for channels may if thought you were looking for scollies as it's closed too.

The minister shall allow an allowance for recreational but there is nothing written anywhere that we have a right or birth right to extract.

The only open scallop beds are in the manukau for how long?? Who knows Why ban trawlers when reccs in the gulf take 3 times what comms take Trawlers operate over same grounds They don't move and plough new grounds.Check out Sanford's Facebook on trawling. Not a fan of comms but we do not have a right to fish.

Top of the map.Always clean in a marina. Really?? can only remove light slime Worth a weekend away to Kawau,not on the map nor Te kouma

Over at bridge marina there is a few live a boards on moorings

Will add. Commercial vessels stayed in port or at the king's.but Lance appears to of adopted a Cavalier attitude and went for it.

The vessel is not in question but more of the skippers responsibilty

The skipper has a new vessel and carrying on with 3 king charters. Thought MNZ would of cancelled his ticket pending investigation.

Boats/Alcohol/clubs. easy target

The river is already infested with fan worm and other things,

Dad was a member for yrs and yrs when they were in parliament st.brought debentures when they moved to the old trillos building.There was suppose to be a wet weather bar downstairs for crews as they were dressed.no formal crap.didnt last long so he resigned way back in 1985. America's cup.covid but the killer will be drink driving.Have a couple while going around the track.Do I risk a couple more in the bar or go home. Only 2 ways in/out.

Good anchorage if if you hook the dis used cable🤣🤣 Found it and spent 40 minutes releasing it,apparently some one got it the day before according to the guy that helped me.
