and still they drag up your spills,but i keep posting your video response  Excuse me Paul Carnahan but could you kindly enlighten me as to what you are refering too? My boat is in napier and we have not been fishing for 3 weeks They keep dragging up the spill from out west 2/3 yrs ago,and you responded on how a gurnard net works,small fish escape etc Ve I am no commercial fan but why keep flogging a dead horse in posting lies,yes you have a tough job in the elements and that I do respect. Scott Macindoe said your one of the good buggers out there and I respect that but as you know as well as i do there are few in every industry who do not care.Incidentally the leaked reports I feel are not accurate same as the simmonds report,yes there is wastage but I am not going to debate this with you,niwa says 6%,if the wastage is what some say the fisheries for commercial and recreational would of collapsed years ago.Thanks Paul Thanks Paul, yes those figures from the Simmons report are off the planet but there was a lot of wastage in the 70's & early 80's but i think a lot of what he was referring to was deep water boats in the south island. We run a very Professional operation and we waste nothing, we have quota cover for everthing we catch. We have satellite monitor on our boat now and it is switched on 24/7 even when we're in port for our own protection. Paul we have far to much to lose to be cowboys and contrary to what a lot lot of recriational fishers may think, we have the greatest respect for our resource. My son will take over the fishing business one day and i also 2 other children and seven grandchildren that like myself enjoy recreational fishing too. I genuinely believe we need to protect our fishing resources both for commercial and recreational . Kind regards Arch Chat conversation end |
