Recreational Fisherman don't welcome the re-emergence of
TOP
The newly emerged TOP Party under the leadership of
Geoff Simmons will cause many ripples in the sea of
recreational fisherman because of his past extremist views
on recreational fishing.
Geoff Simmons along with Gareth
Morgan have advocated that recreational fisherman should
have to purchase Quota from the Commercial fishing industry
to allow them to go out and catch a feed of snapper or
Kahawai.
Their past attacks on anyone trying to effect
change for recreational fishing have been quite acrimonious
including calling the ideas of the fisherman's Lobby group
'Legacy' as "Mugabe-like".

Alan.
The NZ Outdoors Party fully support all the efforts
'Legacy' undertake preserving the right of New Zealanders to
enjoy fishing to feed their
families.
