I have been fishing commercially for 37 years. I currently fish the southern waters out of Bluff and own a 16m trawler that bottom trawls. We employ three crew and support many local engineering shops and suppliers in our region. I supply fish to two companies, which is both exported and sold fresh in New Zealand. Some landings can be up to 25 different species of fish. You may well have eaten the fish I catch, perhaps from your local fish and chip shop or supermarket. I grew up on farms, but when an uncle who was a fisher took me for trip when I was 16, I fell in love with fishing, because of the freedom you get out there on the water, seeing the wildlife and finding that no two days are the same. But it’s a job that comes with many challenges such as the brutal cost of fuel and gear and compliance costs caused by the many rules we have to follow. Another thing that’s tough is the constant use of misinformation to shut us down. more, >>CLICK TO READ<< 97:55
