WHITEBAIT stand for SALE
The Good Life
I have a registerd whitebait stand for sale on the Hokitika river. The site is a front one on the south
side of the main island above the Hokitika bridge.This is an excelent position as it allow's you to either fish across
the gravell bar when the south channel is running to the south or when it return's to flow down the middle or better
still when it angel's to the north. There is an older type Nuffield tractor included with this deal that i use to cross
the north channel with to get to the island, It's size and weight make's it an excellent safe way to cross at any time
day or night. There are numurous screen's/ net's/ timber etc as well. For those that don't know these regested site's
are able to be moved to other part's of the Hokitika river simply by finding somewhere that suit's the regulation's that
apply but mostly it can help you the fisher man to find a spot that you believe is the place that is going to put that
smile on the dial when you watch em swiming into your net.
Priced at $10,000 inclusive of GST plus some fishing gear/ plus tractor

Is it legal to sell a whitebait stand? I mean who exactly do you
register the site with?
And if the river is wide enough you can just put your net straight in
front of any other person can you not? So 'Good Life' unloads the
old tractor gets to keep his whitebait and the $10,000! No wonder he
calls himself 'Good Life'.SNOOPY

You missed an apostrophe on "things", otherwise a really impressive
coverage on the incorrect usage of an apostrophe. Well done!!

Now you have got that out of the way perhaps you could actually
educate us by answering the following questions:
1/ Is it possible to own the rights to a section of a side of the
river? And how does this relate to the Queens chain which is
supposed to provide free accesss to all?
2/ If indeed the fishing rights of this particular river now reside
with the Ngai Tahu, how is it that you, as an individual, are able to
sell tribal land/fishing rights?
3/ Given that the only rule for net spacing is something like you must
not have your net within 10m(?) of the opposite river bank, and it is
quite legal to stick your net straight in front of another person, how
do you mark out your territory?
Sorry if my comments seemed negative to you. But you must realise
that the net is a place which is full of business scams, and I find it
is necessary to be suspicious of any proposition until the proposer
can satisfy the group that it is genuine. Over to you.

This is the first time I totally agree with you Snoopy.
I too would be very interested to hear the answers to these questions.
Good life do you have any documentation legally stating that the
mentioned land is indeed yours by law.

Well SNOOPY, Peanut from the "good life" (LOL) has now ended up in the
Dunedin group with his whitebait shit.
An old apple box at the side of the road, with a cardboard sign saying,
"Whitebait For Sale".
And he hopes to get $10,000 for it.

Seems the Queens Chain is just a fallacy these days...I cannot walk down the
river bank I have walked for near on 15 years, because the effing bastard
has put electric fences up to stop ANYONE going there...This has been a
popular trout fishing river for years and years....
On Sunday we went to another North Canterbury river that we have been going
to for years, and that is set up like flippin' Colditz....It makes me SOOOO

Well done comment. Englisch isn't my native language but I wondered about the use of an apostrophe too.
Anyway it is very funny to read about fishing in New Zealand.
I always thought this only could happen in Germany!

It is sometimes referred to as the grocers apostrophe as it is commonly
seen on fruit and veg stalls.
ie
Apple's 5 for a dollar.

language being spoken about here is English :-)
The apostrophe has two common uses.
The first is to indicate possession. In other languages the same
effect is achieved by the use of the genitive case. In English there
is no genitive case as such and the apostrophe is left to do the same
job. The possessive is generally indicated adding an "'s" to the
person or thing that is doing the possessing.
e.g. "The country's capital city."
If we were talking about more than one country, there is no need to
add an extra "s" to a word that already ends in "s". We simply add
the apostrophe behind the existing "s".
e.g. "The countries' capital cities."
The second use is to indicate the contraction of a phrase, where one
or more letters are missed out.
For example: "I did not." may also be written as "I didn't."
I personally find this example somewhat amusing, as only the "o" has
been omitted and because it has been substituted by a "'" the same
number of characters are used as before.
The major exception to all of this is the phrase "it's". This is the
short form of "it is" and does not indicate any form of possessive
tense. Possessiveness is somewhat confusingly implied by the letters
"its" with no apostrophe attached. So to quote an example showing
both:
e.g. It's true. The volcano has brought forth its molten discharge
of lava.

I must have met that same hori, when I was driving my new 1973 Holden
beside Lake Taupo, he ran across the road in front of my car, and his
beautiful German Shepherd dog got caught up in my radiator, & killed
instantly. It had followed Mr Hori. Poor dog. I was very
upset.....about the dog, and about my new car.
Mr hori asked for the value of his dog, and said I should not have
been driving fast (50 kph) in a 100 kph area, but when I refused to
give him money for his dog, he said " you little white bastard, I'll
throw you in the lake" and some other things in maori. I left
quickly, and then suddenly realised what racism was all about. Oh
yeah, I forgot to mention, I have maori blood in my veins too, so I'm
not a "little white bastard"......completely. LOL

Arrrr but in this country racism is only ever seen if it is portrayed
one particular way. I wonder if the Maori Rugby team is considdered
to be receist, or will political correctness come into play and it be
called positive discrimination.

A licensed stand does not exclude accesss to any area, it gives the owner
the exclusive right to fish for whitebait in that section of river, ie
no-one else is allowed to fish within 40m while the stand is in use.

All is in black and white in The Whitebait Fishing (West Coast) Regulations
1994. Easily obtained from any D.O.C. Office.

Ownership of the stand would be easily verified by the loal council. Do you
ask everyone in alt.cars.for.sale to prove ownership of the car they are
selling or is it just items that you obviously don't know antything about
and don't bother to research before you jump in boots'n'all?.

This particular for sale item was placed in the regional Canterbury
newsgroup as well as the West Coast regional newsgroup. Perhaps
'Good Life' was unaware of the fact that Whitebaiting regulations are
different in different parts of the country?
I don't think it is reasonable to post a 'Whitebait Stand for Sale' ad
in a region outside of the West Coast assuming that everybody outside
of the West Coast knows all the nuances of the West Coast whitebaiting
regulations. Particularly, as it would seem, when some of the West
Coast regulations are in direct contravention of other regulations
currently in force in other parts of the country.

Like I said before, the internet is the home of scams. I admit that
sometimes my tone here is a little abrupt. But 'Good Life's original
post had a fishy edge to it. In particular all the points 1-3, that I
raised. I wanted to clear up the smell, by egging a comment from
him. Unfortunately he chose not to answer the points, but thank you
graeme for now (mostly) doing so. SNOOPY

the validlity of the item for sale first would have to be pretty bloody
gullible or stupid or both.

If I had the $ I would very seriously look at the deal, looks real good to
me.

whitebaiting rules as they apply to the Hokitika river mouth.
Have you considered that what may be 'obvious' to you may not be so
'obvious' to those that do not have this specialist knowledge? SNOOPY

Anybody who knows what a whitebait stand would know enough about the topic
to see through any scam.
and if they don't know what a whitebait stand is, they would probably
wouldn't even consider the purchace .

of the North Island then Graeme.
There the best 'Whitebait Stand' goes to whoever gets up earliest in
the morning. You cannot 'register' your position on the river with
anyone, and it is quite legal to place your net straight in front of
someone else. There is no 40m 'territory' as seems to apply on the
West Coast.
Perhaps if you had been brought up on this kind of whitebaiting, you
might see why the original post had a hint of scam about it, and
needed further clarification. SNOOPY

Thank you, I'm always eager to learn more about English. Of course I know
that have to apologize because I didn't know all different ways to use the
apostrophe ;-)).
My main interest is to learn more about New Zealand because I intend to
visit New Zealand perhaps the next year in August. Therefore I'm looking
for information about your country. Perhaps you can help me with some
useful tips and hints.
