So, how about we have a forum day fishing, leaving from somewhere around Auckland, folks with boats bring them, others get on and we have a ‘informal’ competition.
Maybe we do a entry fee and we can donate half to a good cause and some to the boats for fuel and the rest for a feed/refreshments or something like that.
Maybe early December timeframe
Anyone keen?
And more importantly, anyone skilled in organising it :)
(I’ll bring a boat for 3-4 Fisher folk)
Bloody Jafas, all hui no doey

And can you nick the keys to your BIL boat? Bring that around for it to......
Measure and release
Only if caught in less than 10 meters tho ay...otherwise keep all legal fish caught, no point releasing fish to die.Quote:

I’ll occupy a seat
Certainly, no rules yet, as nobody has sorted them.Quote:

Ah no I dont have any to link unfortunately but I have read actual scientific study showing snapper and other species mortality increased markedly...actually alarmingly from more than 10m depth.Quote:

I keep every legal snap from more than 10m now and have been for a few years.
Will trawl Google tommorow and see of I can find the study to link.

I'd be more interested in Kingfish in 100-200m.Quote:

The other pub ran a comp out of Gulf Harbour, entry fee was divided up between 1st, 2nd & 3rd place and some put towards food for a bbq. Snapper only comp
