Hi Kerren,
Im anew boy to computers and sites but have been fishing for years. Ihave heard of rumours that a "group of conservationists" is trying to float a proposal to close the west coast of auckland to fishing,4 wheel driving, and any other fun activity that may come to mind. If the rumours are true they are using the loss of a net fisherman at the waikato rivermouth to illustrate the danger fisherman have on the hectors dolphin. I was one of the people who helped to recover the fisherman and his net. There is no way that, the net suposedly lost could have hurt a dolphin as it was used to pull other members of the party from the sea. If the proposal goes ahead the to be closed is likely to contain the areas from the north bank of thewaikato rivermouth to the top of the south kaipara head. This would mean no fishing in some of the best surf, kite, and boat areas around auckland.
please check it out if true lets try to stop the madness before it gets too big and becomes unstopable. cheers fishwid
