Went down there with Dad one day we had good run, then the tide came in

I remember going down there after school in the late 50s when the word went around that "there was a run on".

Graeme John Hill

Peter Gray

My father used to be on the same rock in the 70's and we too would sit up on the wharf then dad closed the wharf because it was unsafe as he was a bridge inspector the railways

Me and my bro took it several times. If U were 65 and walked there we gave u yr bait. Ol man fisher from Nelson creek turned up 1 day 85 odd - got 50 lb.

Colin Skates
Check out the net of the day, probably a white pine (kahikatea) sapling for a pole, because of the weight, and a suplejack for a hoop. Brilliant
