Yip they do get caught in the sounds but im not sure how often or when but they do.My uncle caught one out of Momorangi bay a cuple of years ago.It wasnt big but it just goes to show how far in they must come.Ive never heard of any coming from Marlborough beaches yet.Maybe someone on this site may be the first…that would be cool.
