I though about going out but can't seem to find any motivation to actually do it.

Interesting listening to the Rec's talking about those "commercial guys taking all "their" fish" while I was working on a boat in the marina yesterday. Some of their attitude makes me bloody cross

They really have no idea of the amount of fish they ("recreational fisherman") take. I recon at least 10 ton comes up the ramp on a good day. Everyong I see seems to have "got their limit" and on one boat yesterday there were 6 fisherman so 60 snapper for that one boat!!

BUT I do agree there should be no trawling / danish seaining withing 3-4NM of shore in Tasman bay
