Some members of Far North iwi Ngāti Kahu say they plan on putting a stop to Doubtless Bay’s annual Anniversary Fishing Contest and plans to block off all boat ramps in their “tribal waters”.
 

The fishing competition, which is also referred to as the Fishing Classic, has been running for more than 40 years in the area and is expected to have around 500 competitors.
