Then it all came to an end when fisheries said the netters were fishing out of season. NO claimed the netters we are catching inunga not not whitebait. Fisheries stepped in again,well you need 1 inch mesh.That pretty much killed the cottage industry and cheap sales of whitebait in Devonport,now I think pollution has driven it all away. Total thread drift I know.
