Thanx all for the info.
Was in the process of booking but was experiencing several problems namely .......
Was proving difficult to match the two flights required ie. Ak to Invercargill then Invercargill to Stewart.
Apparently at this time of year most of the legal size crays have moved offshore to deeper water so most com fishers are in recess having concentrated on filling their quota earlier on.
Likewise could prove difficult to buy paua currently.
The oyster farms have all closed down due to a dreaded lurgy.
A real shame as had found ideal accommodation that was not only well priced but included use of a car.
Consequently have opted to postpone to a yet to be established more suitable date ( could be a spare spot for anyone interested )
in the meantime in favour of a Nth Is wilderness trip, namely
http://www.gobush.co.nz/ ( once again the possibility of a spare spot )
When you cry, feel pain or sadness, no one notices your sorrow .... BUT
fart just ONE time !!!!!!!!!!!
