I think most baiters would except a shorter season , creation of whitebait reserves , as mentioned above there's certainly assholes scattered around the country that take over river mouths mostly to make money so that should be looked at too , actually you could throw policing into that as well , often that is where the problem lie,s , someone gets up early gets the good spot an hour latter A hole turns up and say,s get off my spot regular occurrence in some places like the clutha .
