Last weekend when i came back into the harbour at Tauranga i noticed that there was about 9 or 10 boat's all drifting in the channel jigging, i have never seen so many people jigging at onece in the same area,was good to see.Not all had the expensive jigging gear but giveing it ago all the same.I just hope that if this trend continues that people only take a fish or two home for the cocker, and the rest released to fight another day.We all know you can catch plenty of king's jigging but there is no need to keep them all ,just enjoy the fight and put them back.
[forgive my spelling i went to school in AUS and the spell check is not working]
