Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

now THAT would be an intersting one to see in a court room...a native KIWI eating kaimoana in a traditional manner on beach...... I remember being told of my late auntie,lovely Maori lady married to Dads brother, wonderful lady sadly missed,she was eating shellfish on beach and ranger came along and told her she couldnt....I can almost picture her looking down nose in cheeky manner and telling him politely to leave her alone.
reminds me of floundering with set nets at Kawhia as a kid...Ada had brought her own nets this day,Dad made comment to her he thought her net was a bit longer then usual or legal "Well Jim,actually both nets are longer than legal,and they are joined together" LOL She was wonderful character and all thier children were talented at catching sea fish,
I rememebr the adults heading out at night in the old clinker built whaler after snapper...one night they came back with some HUGE fish,would be in the 20lb class, the teenage boys had hands ripped to shreds,the adults would hook fish on handlines and the cousins would haul them in. happy memories of a simpler time,would have been mid to late 70s when we had family holidays at kerikeri.
