I stopped to have a look at one on Monday,it was still alive,but had no fat on it,ribs sticking out,back legs were lifeless as well. Makes me wonder about the ocean bounty programme I saw on Sunday ramming home the use of seal exclusion devices they are apparently using as of late.... I can't understand why so many are washing up,lack if food? Damaged in trawl nets? Never seen the likes of it in 10yrs out this way. |

I'll try and find out from my brother as he's up there all the time. As long as stick to the channel you will have enough water at low tide. I usually fish either side of low tide and launch from the hoteo ramp. Still getting some nice snaps without having to go to graveyard |
