Shit 250!! The best thing they did up here was make it 300 from 270. Even with 2 less fish per bag (7) its more food on the plate. So how do the commercial guys up here not dump more with the rule changes? Doesn't quite make sense

They will be dumping more it is inevitable.

I dont think many if any rec fishers in Nelson would keep a snap under 300mm excepting kids first fish/swallowed hook etc

@Ryan_Songhurst If I didn't know you Id be calling BULLSHIT Wicked For a shy fish Id think North Canterbury not be Ideal for them , Christ I've been fishing with skippers that won't even let you drop a sinker on the floor of the boat . They recon thats enough to scare them

Blew me away too Munsey, they are Filipino blokes and they always fish there but usually only catch sharks, elephants etc. They didn't know what a snapper was, sent me that photo with "hey boss what is this fish? Is good to eat? Today we just got these ones "

Should have told them they're terrible eating, drop them off and I will give them to the dog...

Hard case.
You do hear of them being caught surfcasting at Greymouth so it stands to reason they should be down the other coast too but thats the first time I have heard of them being caught there.

I'll try and find a nz water temp map . seen on FB . You will see why we don't get them down here and why west coast do .

They were all over 30cm to the v in the tail, I thought the same as those Filipino blokes consider damn near anything fair game. That's a big ass dairy shed wash tub they're sitting in

Had to watch on the wifes face book, pretty cool vid.
nov dec Jan temps look similar coast to coast tho

"2 Bunnies" is ready to hit the water again, spent the last week or so every night fitting her back out. Have a baitboard on the way to replace the ski pole and ready to go. Need to take her for a test on the water before we hit up the Abel Tasman in ten days time. Usually I would just bang it over the hill to Kaikoura, but not much chance of that at the moment, might have to go to lake Tennyson. Real keen on trying out my new softbait and jigging setups, although I have no clue what I'm doing!

Haha I was thinking man that looks similar to mine with the double front windows. Then realized you said a while ago it's a plylite. Doh!
Are you getting rid of the ski pole?

Mine doesn't look so good at the mo without a floor

Yea mate, you want it it's yours? Comes with the floor plate too. Mines just had a new transom and the bottom reglassed and gelcoated, she's not the flashiest rig but she's pretty solid, bit of history in her too as she was our family boat when I was a young fella.
