    Last night I watched NZF, Labour and Greens vote in a bill apparrently giving Sage the right to lock out whitebaiting in "DoC estate" and even over private lands after a two year phase in period. Nats strongly objected but could not carry a majority vote in parliament. I was disgusted that NZF supported this bill.

    May take a while but they're digging their own political graves.

    I had a walk up the river mouth talking to all the local whitebaiters bloody good blokes I have known for years and I said to them all "are you making the most of your last season whitebaiting since the government is going to ban it" and they all said if that happens we will still keep coming.
    Every one of them said that, and not one against.

    Weather hasn't been great since I got home from Canada. Rivers in flood a lot.
    This week hasn't been too bad weather wise so have been out chasing a feed.
    Awesome day today weather wise.

    Got around a kilo with a mate scooping and pot netting.
    Signs are it is picking up but time left in the season is running out.

    Will give it a good nudge for the rest of the season weather permitting.

    Article was on RNZ website....


    Quote....The proposed Indigenous Freshwater Fish Amendment Bill, would amend the Conservation Act.

    The bill would stop some whitebaiters from fishing in conservation areas, and the National Party claims it will ultimately result in the prohibition of whitebaiting in New Zealand.

    Hundreds of people attended a meeting hosted by the local whitebaiting association in Hokitika yesterday, and long-time West Coast whitebaiter Des McEnaney told Morning Report today whitebaiters there were feeling confused and under siege.

    "These changes that have been promoted now in the legislation coming out have created more confusion, so whitebaiters have been deeply worried as to what's going on, the messages coming out," he said.

    Just spoke with a few people who would have been in the know and they're all unaware of any meeting happening.
    Maybe the media (highly unlikely) screwed it up and are referring to one a month ago?

    I got my first taste for the season, went scooping at the mouth and got enough for a couple of big patties.

    Just good to get out in the fresh air and feel alive again, and the little buggers taste good as well
