      @ShamusOConnell ปีที่แล้ว

      Rugged coast of the Deep South is Healthy and plentiful, we are very lucky. And not as many dishonest pricks pillaging as what we see up north, not to say it’s perfect Because I’ve seen the evidence it’s not. As long as we encourage sustainable fisheries hopefully we can look after things for generations to come!

    • @fredio54
      @fredio54 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@ShamusOConnell MSY is your enemy - the Hauraki Gulf is all but completely barren - entire east coast of upper north island similarly raped. Only the west coast has good snapper stocks these days due to a near collapse and reductions to protect it that actually let it recover. The ONLY way any of these fisheries can survive healthily is through cream skimming - ie, take a little off the top of a healthy stock and leave it mostly intact. It's not in capitalist or government economist's nature to act this way though. Greed prevails without a hard fight. Son of man who wrote for both major fishing mags for years, travelled NZ educating kids on marine ecology, major player in global gill net ban, hunted throughout the all three major islands, fished the entire thing from the 3 kings to stewart, co-founder of Option 4 and Legasea, RIP dad, your work was not wasted, but there's a lot more to do.

Also how do you deal with knowing great whites are all over in the Straight haha. Im from Hawaii originally but all ive had to deal with are tiger sharks and honestly never had an issue with them but for some reason white sharks scare me haha.

      Hay bro ! Kingfish have come around last few summers along with huge schools of kahawai, warm currents encouraging this for sure ! This summer has been particularly amazing, very lucky. I put the whites to the side of my mind never forgotten haha, but always pays to be vigilant, we encounter curious 7 gillers more often . Its a special rush being in water where they are and I feel naturally comfortable, I think they know exactly when divers are in the water , very very smart amazing creatures! We can sort a dive out one day for sure 🤙🏻
