   I looked as hard as I could little pillie & with the best will I couldn't find a 27cm Snapper!

I'm sure there must be one there somewhere !

That pic reminds me of how it was 15-20 years ago, when we went out for the" kill".

Thankfully, people have been educated a bit better

Where did you find that ugly MF Little Pillie. Is it a commercial operation?

Hey, normal sort of fishing out of southern california I would think. Remember, their Kingies are nowhere near the size of ours, nor, looking at those pics, are they ever likely to be. I count at least 45 small kingfish.

However, given that there are more often than not 6 plus anglers on one of these trips (that's why they call them "6 Packs") that is still around 8 fish per angler. If it is one of the bigger boats, there will be up to 15 anglers... then you are looking at only 3 per angler, which is not too terrible at all really.

It is not, to our eyes, a very great picture, but over there it is legal, within their set catch limits and sizes I am sure, and just coz there is only one bloke in the photo, there must be many more, as they are all tagged, as you can see.

May even be a multi day charter too.

Hmmmmm.... I have some pics of multi day charters to White Is and the Ranfurlys from the mid nineties that have easy as many fish, all big kings, hapuku and buenose etc.

Not a pretty pic, but let us not hurry to condemn before fuller facts are made available.

Diversion, if you look at the fish down along the port gunnel, you will see the white tags in some of the gills.

Fellas

 

This is a southern Ca. sport fisher with a bunch of "Firecracker" yellowtail/kingies caught beneath floating kelp. It would not be unusual on some summer days for 700 to a 1000 of these to be caught by the fleet. However in recent years skippers and anglers are becoming more aware and will pull off these schools and continue searching for Bluefin/albies or larger grade kingie (yellowtail). It is usually the one day overnight boats that take and keep the smaller fish since there is greater pressure to come in with "numbers".

 

The tags are angler ID's. when you book on the boat with 28 to 45 other anglers you are given a tag number and a set of tags. When you catch a fish you give the deckie a tag which he in turns staples onto the fish for easy identification when the boat gets back to shore.

 

I have fished this way numerous times and i can assure you that this is the were the picture is from. The deck hatch in the back ground is to the below deck brine tank were the fish are tossed into and kept frozen or chilled until the boat returns to shore. Most summer trips are for 3 to 5 days. However there are many overnight boats.

 

If you think these are rapist you should see the Mexican gill netters catch of kingies. YIKES

I'm reminded of a commercial boat called the Vicki 11 out of Tairua early nineties strretching nets accross a reef system North of Shoe Island and they did exactly this with Nets on juvenile Kingi schools.  Numerous times we should have cut all their gear.

Toerag, the nets off the seven mile reef (ummm...or is it the ten mile reef, I forget) off Whakatane were/are every bit as bad.

Officially, "OFFICIALLY" the gill netters are after warehou, but have this unfortunate, unexpected accidental by-cach of rat kings.... gosh, what a surprise!

 So, anyone here able to tell me just how many Waehou are caught in the boP? If you say "None" you will be right on the nose.

And people wonder why the fishing for kinies off whakatane is crap these days, those gill netters boys, they dun it, you betcha!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr......
