🚨WE HAVE A NEW CLUB RECORD 🚨

It wasn’t just the Easter Bunny bringing the excitement this morning, the Time Out crew lit up the weigh station too!

The standing club record was Gavin Veza’s Black Marlin caught on 37kg and weighing in at 130kgs in 2019! Sorry Gav & Congratulations Clint!

A massive congratulations to Angler - Clint Culpan, skipper - Callum Mullins and crew - Hooky on landing this stocky Black Marlin yesterday whilst trolling off Ahipara.

They hooked the fish around 2pm and it wasn’t until 4 hours later they got sight of what they were up against! The excitement locked in and they boated the fish around the 5 hour mark.

Caught on Jack Hammer & light gauge hooks 🤙🏽

Congratulations again team, we are over the moon for you!!

Across the country, something's fishy.

The Fisheries Amendment Bill has just gone to Parliament and will have its first reading in the next few days. In simple terms - it's bad news for us, our kids, our fish and the environment.

We have a small window of time to "Kill the Bill".

This Bill is basically an industry wishlist.
1. There will be no minimum size limits for iconic species such as snapper and trevally if they are caught trawling, seining or in a set net; and
2. Commercial fishers will be allowed to dump and discard anything they can't sell.
3. It will be illegal for the public to access onboard camera footage and it will be almost impossible for Ministerial decisions to be challenged by the public in court.
These aren't minor tweaks. These proposals reduce accountability and open the door to more waste, more fish being discarded at sea, and fewer fish left in the water.

This Bill is being driven by the Minister for Oceans and Fisheries, Shane Jones and the Coalition government.

The Bill was posted online last Thursday, and is currently 9th on the parliamentary list. This means it could pass its first reading this week!

We need your help to Kill the Bill. The best way to make this happen is to write to your local MP and the Prime Minister. Tell them to vote against the Bill.

Write your own message or to make it easier, we have given you a few "starters" to put into an email and the contact details to all the electorate MPs.

We cannot remain silent. The Bill will have significant impacts for years to come. The more New Zealanders who speak up now, the harder this becomes to ignore.
