As a regular driver of Hastings sea front, I have noticed over the years the amount of netting close to the beach. Sometimes all the way along(nearly 3miles), and only about four to five hundred yards off the shore I have even seen the pier surrounded with nets. And basically all your going to catch is small bass, pout, eels, and small whiting.
But something has changed recently, from about the begining of May small yellow bouys appeared the entire length of the sea front, about four of five hundred yards off shore and I have not seen a single net in that time. In fact I can't see any nets even passed the bouys.
Does anybody know if there has been a restriction in netting in this area. Maybe there is a bye law for this time of year for the saftey of swimmers.
On another note a few makkie appearing from the groins at either end of the town, the water has only just cleared, lots of white bait in the water. Lots of small bass when there is a surf.
Cheers
Chris
