SHORE TRAWLING
\ Sir, —I would like to enquire through your columns if it is permissable for trawlers to operate just outside the breakers between Matata and the Rangitaiki ? This pilfering of the shore fishing rights of the individual has to my mind gone too far. Over the Easter week-end, I went to the coast to do "a little line fishing, and on each occasion I noted a trawler using a net in as close as it was possible to operate. Immediately upon my arrival at the. beach the trawler was headed straight out to sea. This happened not once but on two ocand I immediately had my suspicions aroused. I am therefore asking you to state if what I saw this vessel doing is legal or not. IE not 5 then. I think it high time for the public to rise up and take appropriate action. Yours etc. W. J.' PROFFITT.
