  2. MPI Fisheries - Northland 2l2i0ma0ahi0fd · There are currently biosecurity rules in place making it illegal to fish from three harbours on Aotea Great Barrier Island. to prevent the spread of the invasive seaweed pest Caulerpa brachypus. The requirements are set out in a Controlled Area Notice (CAN). As well as banning the take of any marine life (fish, shellfish, seaweed, crays), if you anchor in these harbours, you’ll need a permit from Bio

Looked at yrs ago and seeked advice, you still up clevdon river??now water water warming growth increasing,surprising how many revs it takes to throw stuff off prop..
  5. the joys of a dripless gland,when i changed glands,undid the nuts holding shaft,shaft slide out easily. fitted new gland and shaft was 2 mm higher than gearbox,friend wiggled shaft and went in to collar tighten down .in water and all was well.doesnt help you out I know. So when you turn the shaft you see it rise and fall?? To me that wouldnt indicate motor not aliegned but ,hoping not worn shaft tube,slightly bent shaft
  6. Boating in the reserve There is no public boat launching facility in the marine reserve. The nearest boat launching ramp is in Omaha Cove, just below the township of Leigh. Boats are permitted to navigate and anchor carefully in the reserve, but please remember that: • Dragging anchors can damage marine life. • There are a lot of swimmers, divers and snorkelers in the reserve – take care. • Fishing rods should be stowed out of sight when travelling or anchored in the marine reserve. Would want a windless day,no swell,unsure of bottom but thinking fine sand.Be more inclinded to driv
  7. anchoring within boundary could be classed disturbing seafloor. You know how DOC is
  8. I would say anchor out on the boundary line and maybe row in from there,not sure. perhaps ring +64 9 379 6476 Email: aucklandvc@doc.govt.nz
  9. Recieved a email from MPI yesterday and want consultation on a area .Leigh to tawharnui no taking of any fish except crays,paua,mussels etc out from shoreline to 350m. This is proposed by some group called rock pools??

  15. ponui island ,southern end,motonau bay would of had 50/60 overnighters,Doubt very much they received any sort of visit.And the trafic from KKB to Coro farms steady stream.From 5.30am till 8.00. Confession was in a fizz fishing scullies/ Oh on the alcohol front. Kevin will say I have a problem. 2 cans everynight,except Saturday where 6 rums and 1/2 bottle red would be consumed so a score of 7. I might add that short test would be conducted by a non drinker or a reformed alcoholic.
  16. Further to Grandfather who was at Galipoli,Transfered to the Royal navy as a volunteer at some stage,went in to zeebrugge harbour,sunk a lot of vessels then return 6 months later to clean up the mess they created,meanwhile his brother served in France,coped a couple in the back and left. 2 British Officers walking the trach noticed his slight movement and took him to a field hospital and sent to England where he spent the rest of the war as a butler for the officers.. Grandfather wanted to sign up for ww2 but told to old but you can join the home guard,with a 2 finger salute walked off .
  17. You want somewhere to moor a vessel?? Guess you are going to pay market rent then.So what if he makes a $$,what other options do you have??A marina at 10m (32'8") $728.50 pm
  18. And that was not uncommon.Many WW1/WW2 arrived back went to local RSA to be met by bullshit artists that had never left NZ. My Grandfather ,by all accounts,didnt finish his beer and never attened a Anzac day. Severed as saddler in ww1 .
  19. Its not peoples inter reaction with them,its the feed has been removed.DOC are dorks at times,running downhill as "BP" said doing 9+ what emergency drop,ripped/broken gear??And the bloody mammal still wants play in your wake,then what. No schools of baitfish no Dolphins simple as that. Kevin you are doing very well to stop in 300ms even if rounding hard up head to wind
  20. Unfortunately it is an easy target area, very dark and liveaboards more towards the top, in fact very few now. And the worst part is.That other boaties will be buyers, no buyers no market.

  22. Received same email and what a load of bollocks.Obviously pushed through by a committee of no boating/sailing knowledge. Picking DOC will be out over xmas enforcing the rules with fisheries issuing speeding fines??
  23. Last time I just sprayed waterline stain remover on 2 coats and washed off,not sparkling but see the difference,polishing/buffer machine are ok .Just to be careful can leave like a burn mark if too long/hard on one spot.Yes I found out the hard way and mark still there 2 yrs on.
