Mayor Tim Shadboltreflects on childhood,stranded whales and ourkiwi way of life..

There are a few areas of the Southland and Otago coastlines

where there are still healthy populations of paua, it's not a

coincidence that these areas are the same areas from which

commercial paua fishing is currently prohibited. The

commercial paua fishers and the Ministry for Primary

Industries have proposed opening these areas, which will

smash these paua populations and have a huge negative impacton all non-commercial paua fishers who use these areas.

Submissions on this proposal closed on 19th April. And here we

are - all the submissions are in, what to do next..I thought

the battle was over but its not!

Hey all my name is Jono Bavin a brief back ground on myself.

Hi,

We await the decision of the Ministry of Primaryndustries and our new Minister of Primary Industries,

Hon Nathan Guy, on proceeding further with the

roposed regulation change to the commercially closed

aua, PAU 5D areas. With 2,718 submitted submissions

or supporting the status quo and objecting to any

egulatory change verses only 22 for commercialisation

f our Otago & Southland recreational paua areas -

peaks volumes. The weight of those 2,718

ubmissions is huge coming from City Mayors, City

ouncils, TVNZ & Radio reporters, Maori TV, South

sland Iwi, NZ Sports Fishing Council, Recreational

ishing Council, LegaSea, FishinFuture Search,

unedin Fishing Clubs including your own Tautuku

ishing Club (who initiate/support this Kiwi Lifestyle)

nd the Power of the Public !

urge all Club Members to visit our Club Facebook

age & take time to view the clip from Maori TV, Native

ffairs News covering this Paua issue.

very informative report covering both sides of this

sue. Tim Pankhurst, CEO, Seafood New Zealand states

Not one more paua is going to be taken Pauasherman are farmers, its not in their interest or in

nyone else's interest, to go in and take all the stock in

area Yea Right! If this is the case why is it that the

ommercial Paua areas/farms are not being

arvested/farmed sustainably ? If the Commercial paua

ractises are correct in fishing their large farm areas,

hey wouldnt be looking over the fence at our

ecreational paua areas; that are preserved for all Kiwi

ecreational fishers. As Kees Meeuws states Once

he door is open, it will never be shut again.

hanks to our local MP, Hon Michael Woodhouse for

oing to bat for the Otago & Southland public; over

his Paua issue. Hope common sense / the status quo

prevails here. All New Zealand Fishers, both sea &

freshwater are watching & waiting! Considering

freshwater fishing; we have a supporter in Hon Peter

Dunne as I have noted in the UnitedFuture

Confidence and Supply Agreement 2011 with our NZ

Government, of two of their many principles, policies

and priorities being of interest to all NZ fishers *

Maintain free public access to rivers, lakes, forests and

coastline & * Committed to improving water quality in

our lakes, rivers and streams, in particular mitigatingthe impact of agrarian runoff on these waterways, and

in ensuring quality standards and existing management

of water supplies.

The key to all our Fishing Issues is communication with

our Politicians and Ministry Personal. More New

Zealanders Fish, than any sport, in our fine country.

Our Club elected Secretary, Sarah Paterson has

stepped down due to increase work commitments. On

behalf of our Committee and Club members, I

appreciate your help, Sarah, in keeping Tautuku Fishing

Club Dunedin & Haast Inc; a Fishing Club of high

standard. Many Thanks to Mark Fraser in stepping up

to take on this Club Secretary role. I know you will do a

sterling job.

If members havent been to the Club lately you have

missed a treat. Thanks to Allen Hurrell on the bar

recently, has been presented smoke Albacore, smoke

salmon & last Sunday marinate & smoked Duck

Wow, Great with a Speights!

Make note from this LURE Monthly issue, the dates and

times for our Club Clay Target Shoot and two Queens

Birthday Fishing Competitions. End of June is the finish

of our Club Year Competitions; as we have our Club

Prize Giving due for July.

Great to see that the Ministry of Primary Industries

have announced there will be NO changes to the

management of striped marlin. The ban on commercial

landings of marlin caught with New Zealand fisherieswaters in 1991 Stands!

James Stevenson-Wallace, Director Fisheries

Management, MPI, says he recognises the considerable

value striped marlin provides for the recreational

gamefishery. This is great news, thanks James & the

MPI Team Hope the Otago & Southland Paua issue

also results in the same way for recreational paua

fishing - the KIWI Way!

With the weather changes and river water flows Take

extra care at the Taieri River Mouth.

Tight Lines.

always wanted to be a Dairy farmer from a young

age, going through collage in town is hard when you

wanted to go dairying as the nearest farm is 30

minutes away; so in 1999 I decided to head south to

Telford Rural Polytechnic in Balclutha. What a big

earning curve, moving south at 16 years old, no family

and to learn how to farm. After a years course I

entered the world of working on a dairy farm. In 2002

met my wife to be, Kelly, who also went to Telford

and had the same dreams as me too, to one day to own

a dairy farm. After a couple kids later, Brooklynn 6

years and Jacob 3 years and a wedding in between, we

reached our first goal last year of 50/50 Sharemilking

500 cows at tussock creek, about 10 minutes out of

nvercargill.

t has been a hard slog to get to this stage but is well

worth it; being self-employed its also giving me a bit

of freedom to do my other love of diving, fishing and

hunting. Now on to the good stuff diving and fishing,

Southland offers some of the best seas to get a good

solid feed in the country from blue cod, bluff oysters,

crayfish, tuna and of course the PAUA.

Being a member of Invercargills only Diving and

ishing club DIVESOUTH, has given me a great

opportunity to see the wonderful places Southland /

Fiordland has to offer, from Diving and catching tuna

at Milford sound, catching some of the biggest crayfish

n New Zealand @ centre island, Diving/Dredging for

BLUFF oysters out of Bluff, or free diving for some of

he biggest paua New Zealand has to offer around

?????? (I cant give away all the good spots) and I dont

want the commercial divers to know!! And to be fair

ts not hard to get a pig or a deer in Southland either.

PAUA TO THE PEOPLE for me? The story started

when Oli Wilson and Dave Hodson came down to talk

o about 70 people at an information meeting in bluff.

They told us about the MPI proposal to open up closed

areas to commercial paua fishing, and let us know

what they were doing in Dunedin to try and protect

he paua in their areas from being smashed by

commercial divers. At the end of that meeting I was

one of a core group of about 5-6 people who stepped in

to mobilise the Paua to the People movement in

Southland. We didnt have long, we only had about two

weeks to get the public informed about the MPI

proposal to open up over 30km of untouched coastline

to commercial paua divers. We had 2 public meetings

in Tokanui/Invercargill where about 50 people turned

up, a hardy group of people walked the streets to hand

out flyers, had a stand at the farmers market where wegot 30+ submissions, had meetings with local MPs

including Hon Bill English, Hon Eric Roy and a

meeting with Mayor Tim Shadboult. From Tims

meeting we got the support of the Invercargill City

Council.

The last 6 weeks has been a learning curve in politics,

public speaking, media talking (and what not to say!)

but although it has been enjoyable the battle is not

over. Its giving me satisfaction to be fighting for whatI believe in, and knowing that if you feel strongly about

something its best to stand up and be noticed than

sitting back and letting people walk all over you.

The people of Southland/Otago and New Zealand have

spoken there was 2740 submissions received on the

paua proposal, 2,718 submissions were opposed to

opening up these areas to commercial paua diving. A

mere 22 submissions (less than 1%) were written by

paua quota holders, the commercial fishing industry

and their allies in support of the MPI proposal.

Where to from here???? I encourage EVERYONE

to write a letter stating why this should not go

ahead - write to your local MP if you live in the

south, or straight to the Hon Nathan Guy.

Go to www.pauatothepeople.org.nz and there is a link

there which is quick and easy. We only have one

chance to stop this proposal, one chance to save our

PAUA. As recreational fishers, this is our kiwi lifestyle.Why do I feel so strongly about this? I want to see

seafood stocks increase across the board, so that they

stay healthy over the years for the future generations

to enjoy as much as I do. I dont want to be the one to

tell my grandkids that it was my generation that

buggered the Seafood stocks for years to come. I love

seafood, my wife and kids love seafood and most of all

I enjoy the day out, the challenge of catching that 4kg

crayfish, finding that 170mm paua or reeling it that 3-

4 kg Southern blue cod and the personal satisfaction ofgoing out and catching a feed for my family.

KAI KAHA

PAUA TO THE PEOPLE

Cheers Jono Bavin

The cultural and emotional identity of individualnations is defined by far more than the high buildings

or towers that crowd our city skylines. Neither does

the rate of inflation, global debt, the balance of

payments or other fiscal data give us a sense of

purpose or national unity. In my view, its our lifestyleand intimate proximity to the environment that

defines us as a nation of free, independent, hunter

gatherers.

I had a wonderful Huckleberry Finn type childhood.

My first fishing expedition at the age of 6 was hunting

for tadpoles. It was also a lesson in biology as we

watched them develop into frogs. Living in New Lynn

gave us a close connection to the Whau River. This

gave us the ultimate playground of a rubbish dump.In those days it was common for rubbish to be

dumped into the nearest estuary. We also learned to

build canoes out of used corrugated iron. We sealed

up the nail holes by ripping tar seal off the edges of

the road and melting it to make a waterproof tarry

paste. At the rubbish dump we began recreational

hunting for large rats, first using shanghais and then

graduating to Diana slug guns. For food we stuck our

hands down the eel holes and then cooked our catch

at the local reserve on an open fire. From that point

on, hunting and fishing was always part of my life.When the family moved to Massey to establish a

citrus orchard on a lifestyle block we hunted for

possums, as there was a bounty on them of three 303

bullets for each tail we handed in to the Lands and

Survey Department in Kumeu. We sold those bullets

to hunters for a shilling each and lived like

aristocrats. The most exciting fishing trip I had was

when my Uncle Dick took me out on his runabout tocircle a whale stranded at Blockhouse Bay beach.

After a stint at University, we retired to a subsistence

lifestyle commune at Huia in West Auckland. We

went fishing on every day that the weather was

reasonable and if the fish werent biting we could rely

on mussels from Whatipu and watercress from

several streams running through our property.

After being elected as Mayor of Waitemata City, I

travelled to Western Europe with my young family.

The most hair-raising part of the journey was

travelling around the coast of Ireland. Upon arriving

in Belfast we were stopped by a road block of fully

armed and very nervous looking British soldiers.

However, they immediately withdrew their rifles from

the car windows when they discovered 3 fishing rods

in the back seat. The corporal in charge pulled out a

photo of his young son proudly holding his first fish.

Once again, things were tense as we passed through

customs at Belfast International Airport. No onebelieved that a bunch of kiwis would possibly choose

Belfast as a holiday destination. Once again it was

the fishing rods that saved us from a digital search or

worse. The 50 or so fishing photos halted the

interrogation immediately and it was an important

lesson for me on the political power of recreational

fishing.

After being elected to the ARA, one of my pet projects

was working to evict commercial fishermen from the

Waitemata Harbour and Hauraki Gulf. It was an issue

that ignored party affiliations as recreational

fishermen from the left and right of the political

spectrum wanted to create a commercial fishing free

zone. One of my sons lives in Devonport and owns a

little tinnie. His fridge is always full of fresh or

smoked snapper.

Now that I live in Southland; fish, oysters, crays, kina

and paua have played a major role in my life.

Commercial fishing is vital to our local economy butwe have to manage our seafood resource in such a

way that recreational fishermen can maintain our

kiwi lifestyle.

Tim Shadbolt JP. Mayor Invercargill City.

Otago Fish & Game offers anglers a

10 April 2013

Media Release

Following on from a fantastic summer for local fishermen, Otago anglers are set to benefit from a release

of hatchery reared fish from the regions Macraes Flat hatchery.

Winter fishing in the region is on the rise, so what better time

to liberate these fish says Steve Dixon, Otago Fish & Game ranger.

Otago Fish & Game will release the excess hatchery stock into

the Southern Reservoir, Sullivans Dam and Tomahawk Lagoon in

Dunedin along with Butchers Dam in Alexandra.

Around 300 of the year and a half old rainbow trout to be released

weigh close to 1kg.The dry summer hasnt hindered the growth

of the fish at the hatchery and the fish are in prime condition. added Steve Dixon.

The condition of the fish, along with the more settled weather over the winter months, and easily

accessible fishing spots are cited as the main reasons for the increase in angler numbers over the coldestseason on the fishing calendar.

The winter fishing season begins on April 1 and runs through until September 30, with a winter season

licence costing $72 for an adult and $14 for a junior, with those under 12 free. Please note that you cannot

fish an Otago back country fishery on a winter licence.

The release is scheduled to be completed by late April.

For further information contact: Steve Dixon, Otago Fish & Game Ranger(021) 1900711, [email protected].
