Weka, Mike and Josh head off the West Coast of the South Island, New Zealand to catch a northern pacific Bluefin Tuna, when we get out top the Hokitika Trench we discover the Hoki COmmercial trawlers have left the area due to low fish numbers. This area is a spawning ground for Hoki and the fishery has been decimated from overfishing. The trawlers have now gone to the east coast of the south island to the juvenile Hoki fishery to attempt ti fill their quota. We dont catch any tuna but end up with a few tablefish caught over the foul ground where the trawlers cant trawl.
