Myself close the whole lot any area left open will get flogged to bits. Give them a break for a couple of years.

agree totally. I suspect the snapper fisherman are going to wee themselves too shortly. Rumor has it TAC will be increased for commercial guys and limits reduced to 7 or 5 snapper for us. I have also heard that the figures for total snapper catch in the Tasman Bay by recreational fishers make very interesting reading when compared to the total snapper catch for the whole of Challenger by the commercial guys. There are going to be some upset people
