I am unclear on what is being said here?

Commercial catch is to increase from 200 to 250t?
I am ok with that if there is no other change but the article goes on with anecdotal blithering?
Will there be a bag limit of 5 in the bay?
I hope not....commercial catch should be zero before that happens.

I am not anti commercial....it was my living for ten years but the ability of any NZ citizen to catch a fish far out weighs in importance "sir are you fucking kidding me" Peter Talleys ability so buy out an entire valley for exclusive trout fishing rights IMO.
