TRAWLING AT OHOPE
south to north J»nd sweep in net after net of fish from our usual fishing places. With the whole of the Bay at their disposal why must these unprincipled men raid our waters time and time again. T was glad to note that the Ohope Progress and Ratepayers' League was taking the matter up and only trust that something can be done with the department. Surely the Minister will see reason in our moderate claims for protection. Yours etc., RESIDENT.
Sir,—l note from your a*ticte, ill which you published extracts from the Gazette governing the regulations for trawMng at Ohope that un** tier the existing legislation it is impossible to prevent boats of under forty foot overall, from cleaning out the beach from end to end as often as they wish., This to me is a state of affairs which can only be described as intolerable and I would, like to know who put the idea into the Minister's head that a small trawler could do any less harm than a large one. The feeding grounds were raided yesterday morning again and we who enjoy a little line fishing from offshore, had the chargrin of watching the trawler go from (Continued foot next colamn).
