We just have to agree to disagree on catch reporting but not reporting really leaves the question open as to how much reccs take,particularly in the inner gulf. I know myself,where possible will take limit of snapper ,no high grading. Trying to think of when I last did a ramp survey,might be over 10yrs ago,been inspect by fisheries more often,on and off the water ,both east and manukau harbour.<div><br></div><div>Read the piece awhile ago by Sam Mossman and he basically confirmed what I thought about releasing and barotrauma so only release under 30cm,legal it stays.</div>]]>

But when some engage with them via facebook posts and you have a different opinion they are quick to ban you,yet the commercial sectopr can say what they like and legasea engages with them.. The AK branch would get a lot more support if they took a leaf out of legasea hawkes bay. They seem to be able to engage with commercial regarding what areas commercial will leave alone as recc only area., Seems to be working. Unfortunatly Auckland has this attitude "our science is correct" and not prepared to work commercial.<div><br></div><div>What is so wrong about compulsary recc reporting catch via app etc??&nbsp; Legasea are dead against it for some reason. We are a unknown figure for catch or release rates.&nbsp;</div>]]>

Can please tell me exactly what Legasea had achieved for the good of recreational fishers. Might of submitted 250 missions but that does not mean progress.<div><br></div><div>Found the answer not Legasea nor option4 but New Zealand Big Game Fishing lodged the case.</div><div><br></div><div>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>Recently read they need 100k to set up a free fish head app plenty of Facebook pages offering same for free.Better to spend $$ elsewhere .</div>]]>

Option 4 and the kahawai legal challenge morphed into the organisation we know today as Legasea. It operates as the recreational advocacy arm of the NZ Sportfishing Council as is essentially the only group of people focused on ensuring recreational fishers have their voice heard, our fisheries are enhanced and our marine environment looked after.<div><br></div><div>The old option 4 site needs to be redirected to <a href="https://legasea.co.nz/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">The Legasea site</a>&nbsp;- I'll let them know.</div>]]>

Despite losing his jandals and watch, he managed to keep his hat on throughout the ordeal.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>He had his watch on thats what caught the attention of the 3 fisherman.</div><div><br></div><div>Then they dispute the findings of milky fish by NIWA with a rather silly comment.</div><div><br></div><div>There is never completely agreed upon science, even gravity is still just a theory until better theory comes along. Science should be questioned, it would be a failure to not question the limitations or lack of coverage provided by FNZ in their press releases and report. Sure, some past climate perturbations may have had some effect but the point here is we can’t ignore that the symptoms seen in affected fish have been attributed to chronic malnutrition, yet the loss of naturally occurring mussel beds and collapsed scallops which would have provided food directly and through spat, overallocated baitfish species and destructive fishing methods have not been mentioned as a contributing factor that needs to be addressed.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Catching fish in mussel farm (snapper no milky flesh) yet gurnard have it,so how can it be malnutrion??What about the pollution constanly pooring from our water ways. Easier to blame comms as they seen and poluution will cost billions to fix(too hard basket)</div></div>]]>
