LT: Right before we start this, couple of meetings ago we told that we needed to put our
<br /> commissioners report on the agenda and the subjects. On the back of our agenda, we
<br /> got a couple of items that would actually go into the district report in our next meeting.
<br /> Anyway, we can start with our district 1 report. Mr. Robert Duerr
<br /> RD: District 1—Hilo Trollers ran their shootout/troller tournament. Basically, Ono were spotty
<br /> one at time kine. Mahi Mahi were really small, you know 5 Ibs, they were pretty much
<br /> scattered throughout Kumukahi to Ninoole. The record levels of flying fish, small flying
<br /> fish are everywhere in launching in little schools, like 10 to 20 fish. For small Ahi,Ahi have
<br /> been coming up around a 100 Ibs. mostly males, so whether it's a little unusual for the
<br /> season, one marlin came up, and that was about a 100 Ibs. There's fish out there, but
<br /> there are a lot of baits. You know, traditional so that's basically. The other thing, I
<br /> testified on the General Plan as a citizen, and the County of very supportive. The County
<br /> was very supportive. The next part, is how we go to actually partn items, and how do we
<br /> actually you know, shape it up. Likely there's going to be give and take, and maybe some
<br /> things still need to be added. One other thing too is East Hawaii fisheries group, there's
<br /> evidently a parasite that is affecting Ahi, and essentially the parasite, what happens the
<br /> parasite is alive, but when the fish dies, the parasite then becomes alive and starts eating
<br /> the flesh. So, they're looking at Suisan and others are looking into that. That's all I have
<br /> commissioners. Thank you very much.
<br /> LT: Thank you for that update. This parasite thing let's track that a little more...
<br /> RD: Next month Ryan Okano DAR guy, he knows that and he's going to give an update on his
<br /> fishpond, but he can update us on other issues that are important Island wide.
<br /> LT: Yes, sir,Thank you very much. That was District 1. We're moving forward to District 2 Mr.
<br /> Taysen Wong-Chong
<br /> TWC: Morning, District 2 Taysen Wong-Chong with my report. Basically, we had a lot of talk,
<br /> reaching out from the public regarding bill 51, with the feral cats with the commission
<br /> and everything with that, what they are setting what to do. I can tell you one fact that
<br /> more people reached out to me in regard to support, than the folks that actually showed
<br /> up in the commission...in the council meeting. We do need and one advantage to that...
<br /> one public person reported seeing 9 buried devasted sick cats at the park, so I do not
<br /> know what disease, infectious, I do not know what's going on with that. But that is
<br /> something to take a look into. As far as for hunting, I've heard good and bad, typical
<br /> movement on Mauna Kea is kind of slow right, pigs,though,there is a lot of pigs still going
<br /> on, on Hamakua Coast, even though it is out of the district for me. But ummm, I work on
<br /> that side. A lot of pigs coming in, but not big like normal, few hundred pounds and over,
<br /> not the normal of what we see, like close to 200 hundred. On my farm that I work at, a
<br /> lot of pigs but averaging 60 to 80 pounds. So, tome like, where the big guys going at. But
<br /> ah...and that's all I have to say for this report...oh yeah one more thing actually, and for
<br /> 6
