BUGGER!!!!!!! I can't drink spirits gives me a headache everytime

i will stop winding up now i just wish poeple were a bit more open minded and stop blaming other people for shit that happens. for those recos the do care keep it up

Snapper rec fishes catches in Tasman bay have been really good the last two years. Direct result of dropping the commercial catch. No doubt they will put it back up again.

A local Nelson skipper used to skite publicly that he had wiped out snapper in tasman bay. And he very nearly did. Now 20 odd years later they are just back to reasonable numbers.

Yeap there have been some real bastards in the pre quota management days and still some after fisheries coped a real hiding in the 60's and 70's. it does take time to recover from that sort of hammering. alot of the roughy that was caught was 150 years old i will never see the fisheries recover in my life time

I dont like the way the way the system is working, I have seen first hand the wastage and fish dumping from types of commercial fishing. Do you think that gets reported to mfish?? If it is deemed the the recreational catch is too high there should be bag limit cuts. ACROSS THE BOARD! not by trying to push one sector out of the fishery

Actually no I won't shut up I get out for a fish once in a blue moon last time I went out I released three fish and kept one for dinner if Mfish wanted to come along and inspect my catch they are more than welcome to do so. I was bought up on fishing and I do give a shit about the sustainability of the fish stocks if you think my attitude towards this sucks then I do not really care what you think I am sticking up for what I believe in, what really fucks me off is those cunts who come along and think they can keep undersized fish and exceed daily bag limits because they have no idea of the rules or just do not wish to abide by them, those are the cunts who do not give a shit and have bad attitudes and those are the cunts who are putting the noose around our necks.

minding the c word because i find it offensive and uncalled for. i agree that those types stuff it for everyone and sadly it happens on both sides of the fence. it is a nice attitude you have unfortunately not all people share the same view. dont see to many commercial guys on coastwatch mind you heaps of recos with excess fish and under sized ones.

Yeah no worries mate will try to minimise my use of the c word it just every time I see someone keep an undersized fish or take more than what they are legally allowed to it enrages me quite a lot when I see it. Hell even the mussel population on the rocks has taken a hit with all of the raping that goes on there by joe public don't even get me started on that.

It would seem the problem still lays squarely with a quota system that is being exploited for commercial gain?

Exactly , perhaps the commercial boats should be made to use baited hooks too.Leave the trawling and or pair trawling off for a year or two. There is a trawler goes past Whiritoa every day just over 1km out with its gear down. You can't tell me that's good for our in shore fishery ,more like rapping the stocks. Spring early summer they're in a lot closer than 1km in the small hours,are they perhaps targeting the spawning fish? Certainly looks like that being the case ,so think its time these people played the game & everyone will benefit .
Lets cut the commercial quota or keep the trawlers out past the 10 km & give the inshore fishery a chance to regenerate for the common good .

Culture differences are screwing the world

If any of you care about your own fishing rights, or even care about the rights of other average kiwis, please visit the LegaSea website and sign a submission to Minister Nathan Guy. It takes two minutes and maybe you could buy some clothing or donate a few bucks to these good bastards while you're there.
All hunters shouldn't kid themselves that this commercial preference bullshit won't come to threaten our wild animals too some day. Stand up and be counted boys
