Thread: Eugenie Sage wants to Ban Whitebaiting

What is not being put into the Public domain is the fact that huge amounts of whitebait run up their rivers long before and well after the legal season,,,thats a fact for here on the Coast,,they are not being fished out.
The people that want to change, make up new laws or stop whitebaiting will do the dirty and turn people against people with nothing more than propaganda and bullshit meetings.

Never forget catching cod & jock Stewarts in Milford sound in January they were chocka full of bait .

This guy researched whitebait for decades https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26pex7UzRgw


Interesting to see that certain snow fed rivers on the coast e.g arawhata have a predominance of certain bait species, I wonder if DOC plan to shut down certain rivers also some evidence in here that shortening the tail end of the season might help with later spawning species.
