Whitebaiting on the West Coast of the South Island 2006

Men fishing with a sock net below the main road bridge, Hokitika River, Westland.
Sock net below the main road bridge, Hokitika River, Westland. This net is used where the river flow is slower and less effected by tital influence - usually upriver from the mouth. Otherwise you have to move the whole afair forward and back with the tide. It takes a bit of work to set up but operates itself once in place.
