How to select your Mesh Size for your Fishing Nets in NZ

Based on Mike Moore's From Action Outdoors Ltd fishing experience, he recommends the following mesh size for set nets and drag, nets. For further information to assist you in the understanding of mesh sizes please refer to the up to date Auckland Regulations. These recommendations are relevant to the Auckland and Kermadec Fishery Management Area - as per the Ministry for Primary Industries designated fishing areas. 

These recommendations are also based on the small boat fishing and pulling nets by hand not deeper than 10-15m of water.  (Action Outdoors Ltd) does not recommend setting a net deeper than 15m as skills and strength required would be greater than the average person’s abilities and most small boats are not designed to handle nets especially in areas of a strong tide.  Eg. In one area where Mike fished commercially, he could only fish on the weak tides every couple of weeks.  Even in this situation, the strain on the fishing nets and net-haulier at 50m deep was equivalent to another area - 200m deep with almost no tidal flow.

Choosing the best diving fins for your diving activity can be a challenging task. 

People usually buy products priced within their budget and in case of diving fins there is a wide variety available in the market depending on price, quality and type.

Using fins for diving have direct impact on the amount of air and energy being consumed by the diver. Experienced divers are more stable and relaxed in terms of air consumption and energy usage while performing a diving activity. For new divers it is a matter of concern to consume limited energy and air while scuba diving or spearfishing. 

Action Outdoors Limited would like to inform all fishermen.That  most customers tend to choose the minimum mesh size as specified by the current regulations. 

Let's be real, Spearfishing in the winter can be quite challenging. Winters in New Zealand provide the best visibility of the year in water.

This is the time when green algae being formed throughout the summer, vanishes due to cold weather in winters.
