Wasn't targeting this fish but it's great to see some good fish still in my home waters. 

Hi Karla the AI bot! Hope you are well! Those fish are certainly something to be proud of but you have to go! Seeya.

Gabrielle caused a heap of damage. A lot of that flowed out to the HBay via the many river systems. Off the Esk river mouth there has to be several car bodies. But a recent media article highlighted the Comms plight. Many of their traditional areas are unfishable. They pull up as many logs as fish. They were asking for Govt help to keep them afloat. It may not affect the recs as much - maybe a few more snags than before. But the affect on the seabed is yet to be known. NIWA have been conducting surveys recently.

Only time will tell, but it may prove to be a setback to what has otherwise been an improving fishery of recent years.

Fingers crossed it may continue.
