TOWING THE LINE THE REGULATIONS SUMMARISED

The ability to target different species around New Zealand is a big part of owning a trailer boat and an important part of the kiwi fishing culture. Depending on the size and weight of the craft, along with towing vehicle and trailer specifications, a variety of rules apply.

SEASONS GREETINGS!

The Export NZ Fishing Competition Update. As we sail through December and towards the end of another year, longer days with warmer weather provide great angling opportunities. However, the morning missions can sometimes be hamstrung by the end-of-year functions and late-night Christmas shopping!

FISHING SURVEYS COMING TO A BOAT RAMP NEAR YOU

Whether you catch fish for a feed or buy it from your local market or fish and chip shop, there’s one thing that’s clear – we all want to know that our seafood comes from healthy fisheries that will continue to provide delicious kaimoana for future generations.

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO HELP SAVE LIVES ON THE WATER!

Whatever your waka, coastguard tautiaki moana is the charity helping to keep us safe out on the water. They are the only marine search and rescue organisation in new zealand delivering vital lifesaving services. Powered by volunteers, they rely on the generosity of people like you to support them.

The water is warming up and fish have been feeding voraciously, putting on condition. Combined with settled patches of weather, anglers have had an easier time getting bent, out on the water.
