Thread: Inshore fishing under threat?

I hear you.....the bouy idea possibly easier solution.....fish right up to them but no crossing the line or lumped with BIG fine or/and boat siezure ....sort of the same theory as bird sanctuary being safe breading space,except can move out at will....
in my short lifetime Ive seen wharf areas shut off from public access in Timaru....9/11 was all the reason needed.once locked up they never come back.....

Yeah that happened at Tauranga port too. I used to get to work at 4am, fish till 6:30 and start work at 7. Dumb part is all the ship crew just fish from their boat… go figure, i doubt the care to much for nz rules and catch quota either
