    I am predicting the most common catch would be other peoples lines.

    I never had any problems with others getting into my casting zone. At times I had people stand behind me while flycasting but thats a different issue.

    I have not let seen a person cast a boat rod far enough to interfere with my line anyway. With a half decent technique and correct weight it is possible to get good distance but most seem to have strangely balanced tackle. I quite often use boat rods while surfcasting. With them you can,t be tempted to cast towards the horizon. They are no good when the sea is big.

    All 3 times have been at the wairau bar when I was fishing just outside the mouth.Not all were boat rods and I prob only cut two of them off just an example of what happens to ya mono when it invades my space.

    As you would know the bar can be very busy. I never surfcast there during the summer. I often watch people surf casting (while spinning) and have never seen them catch anything decent. A good red cod spot during the winter.

    I personally feel they are wasting there time.

    yeah youre not wrong.I dont fish there anymore unless im spinning.Even then I dont go all the way to the bar for a Kahawai,I prefer to stay up the river a bit up near the bus turn-around bay.

    I have not been able to find any information.

    I am planning to be on the beach around 8am. I believe that registration starts at 9 and lines in the water at 10am. Might of made that up.

    Might even stay the night in Kaikoura so I can catch fresh bait first thing in the morning.
