03.01.2022 This is not just happening in Evans Head !!!! The whole Fishing INDUSTRY is going to loose Commercial Fishermen State by state ! And You the Seafood lover will loose out . Prices will SOAR THE END OF AN ERA AS OUR LAST WORKING EVANS HEAD PRAWN TRAWLER IS SOLD - by Halden Boyd... AN INDUSTRY which put the village of Evans Head on the world fishing map almost 80 years ago witnessed a sad moment recently with sale of its last working prawn trawler at the port. The Havana, owned by Garry Allen, was sold to a Queensland fisherman just last week. In the industry's formative days a world champion sculler, Evans Paddon, trialled towing fishing nets behind his rowing boat, and after inventing boards to keep the nets on the ocean floor caught massive amounts of prawns. The harvest of seafood gold was quickly developed with powered boats rigged as trawlers, and in the early 1950s saw more than 60 boats working out of Evans Head. The harvest of the wild seafood was so large that the product could not be shifted, and so the local fishing co-operative which formed and was situated on the northern side of the river, imposed catching quotas of 500 pounds, or 1000 kilograms of prawns per boat per day. The industry grew and grew, seeing the establishment of a new co-op building and boat harbour and breakwaters at the entrance to the Evans River in the early 1960s. However from the 1980s the industry slowly went into decline with new fisheries and licencing and regulations imposed by the NSW government. The news of the sale of Havana has come with mixed and sad emotions from those who have been involved in the industry over many decades. The Evans Head News has been told the Havana, which also has a Queensland fishing licence, will still be operating out of Evans Head Boat Harbour, but it is not known at this stage when the vessel will eventually head north. This is due to the outbreak of the tragic White Spot Disease in the wild catch fishery in Queensland, which has now moved south to prawning grounds off the Gold Coast from Morton Bay.
