Once again legasea blaming trawlers
We had the oppurtunity in 2015 to change but NO legasea were against reccs reporting catch

Have only ourselves to blame.

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

I doubt whether I have caught as many fish in my entire life as one set of a commercial net.
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.

The administration alone would cost more than the licence fee. Just pay it out of taxes.
Increase fisheries surveillance significantly especially at boat ramps. Strict liability on offences with loss of gear as the only outcome for offending. Change the quota system to reduce the waste of by-catch. Mandate cameras and surveillence technology on commercial boats. No discussion. Again, strict liablity including on skipper and owner.
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!!

Watched the replays last night , fantastic viewing, its got plenty of drama which I imagine will broaden the audience but it would be good to have Mozzy sails on the commentary team. As for comparing it to the AC, meh they are totally different gigs.
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)restrict where longliners can operate,they lay 3000 hooks a time with a 1 in 20 strike rate.
6)introduce $20 pa fishing licence for all. 600k fishers in NZ x $20 =$12 mil. That would be used to increase fishery officers + vessels without officers number 2 wont work.
Would keep the current 7 snapper limit but drop combined bag limit from 20 down to 12 .
Customary rights stays but limit take and enforce all stock to be legal size,no excemptions

Being at the head of food chain we think because we can we will. Human entitlement.
Rec take is vastly underestimated and should be cut. Trophy fishing should be banned or tag only. Licence all fishers and mandatory course for tag/release. Transgressions, take more boats. Commercial scale, lock them up.
Time to respect our planet.
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.

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 agree broadly with those points, recreational fishing needs to do its part too
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

I have since found out that the fisheries Dept. fiz boat is based in Whangarei, trailered to the Kaipara, does its run and is then trailered back to Whangarei
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.

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.

So, you or want punishment to pre-empt a court case. This is a typical MNZ beat up. My company were responsible for the last maintenance on Enchanter and we weren’t even contacted in the enquiry. Keep your amateurish opinions to yourself.
The vessel is not in question but more of the skippers responsibilty

Charges laid over Enchanter fishing tragedy which claimed five lives
Charges have been laid against an individual and a company linked to the sinking of the fishing charter boat Enchanter a year ago.
In a statement, Maritime NZ director Kirstie Hewlett told RNZ both the company and the individual faced one charge each of breaching the Health and Safety at Work Act.
The company also faced a charge of breaching the Maritime Transport Act. The charges were laid last week.The skipper has a new vessel and carrying on with 3 king charters. Thought MNZ would of cancelled his ticket pending investigation.

Their presentation to the Councils was perfect. They presented a good case and really brought home the issue with the later presentation from the Howick local board chair saying they are worried about pest transition to the Tamaki river due to more boats coming down there.
The river is already infested with fan worm and other things,

I like the winery at man o war. The bay itself is rather indifferent as an anchorage though.
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.

This person posted on a fishing site. Suggested they came here for advice. I do not know who they are. Like so many want to live the dream without the budget.
Good luck
