Hey their DogFish
Its a sad day for all recreational fishing persons around taranaki Some of our best ground for fishing is been taken away from us all, I know where my next mission is going to be hopefully the conditions will come right before the reserve comes in effect.
And as for back beach and south thats Bulls..t as well the park works fine why fix somethink when its not broken theirs plenty of gurnard, kawai, snapper, seals, sharks, and whatever else their for the recreational user, One of the best closest beachs to new plymouth about to become a no fishing zone CR P
It makes me feel ill i wont be able to fish out of my kayak in these areas as both areas suit the yak down to a tee,
Q)Wheres doc or maf etc when theirs a trawller or comerciall boat working one or two km off shore? it should be those guys who get told to F ck off,
Me and a couple of mates went over the waitara bar in a stabi early one morning(crack off dawn)not so long ago, we'd just put the boat in the river then to our horror watched a trawler go past heading north no more than a kilometre off shore probably pinching our kawai.

Its a sad sad F#%#ing day alright

will DOC paint the boundries in for me???? as cant afford a gps at the moment.this is a major bummer as am staying at urenui at new years & will have to dream up plan B now

Hey dogfish why does the reserve hav that skinny chunk thats not included in it? 

I have not had the chance to fish there but am gutted for all the locals and at the thought I never may get the chance to fish it!

ta for that naki just gotta hope for fine weather now
