    They are indigenous to NZ and as so are protected as such. More common around the West Coast of the Nth Island.

    That’ll be the warmer sub tropical currents bringing them down. You should have scooped it.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I tried but it slipped out of the net. Probably not a bad thing in hindsight. I can see the headline." Idiot fisherman bitten by sea snake"

    Their mouths are typically too small to latch on to humans.

    Hmmm ...we had the best blue cod session on Sunday for at least two years ...very slow to start ...then bang they were on like no tommorrow ...I'm starting to think bite times are very short ...which doesn't help with warm water temps and current with burley because we burnt a 3kg frozen solid one in just on an hour...so you could burn a lot of burley waitng for the snapper to come on the bite!

    The cod we choked full of plankton like bulging...guts swollen the works...vis was average as I do believe we are seeing a plankton swarm!

    well I reckon if you towed your boat down and parked up beside where all the swimmers go, you could sit in your boat with your line in the water and the boat still on trailer and you would catch a fish
