I am a fisherman born in a traditional fisher family as my father and his father before him. Left school 1983 as they did not teach me how to fish. I started full time handline on my fathers vessel Blockbuster, then Sunsero. Bought a hull and built my own vessel the first Strandwolf in 1986. From 1987 to 1993 me and my crew went pelagic trawling in Namibia for 6 months a year. Other 6 months we longlined hake , trawled hake and linefish. Did my grades in 1992 in Walvisbay and further those in 1999 in PE. Lost my linefish licence in 1994, but was returned due to the findings of corruption at MCM buying and selling of those rights. Founder of HKVV 1993 consisting of only traditional fishers. Applied for rights and in 1997 was granted wcrl, HKVV then purchased a factory Strand Fisheries.
Resigned from HKVV in 2000 due to the board allowed pakket vissers and pensioners as members and shareholders. Factory went under due to shareholders self interest schemes. During 1996 was in consultation with MCM regarding the writing of the new MRLA act and was around the table at FPDC writing the act 1997. Was chairman of Valsbaai Visser Ko-op to whom 72 traditional vessels and crew in the linefish sector belonged. VVK was a 13% shareholder in SACFH who then held the ownership of SACFC who had huge fishing rights. SACFC was chaired by a lawyer who robbed us blind, then we got another lawyer to rectify this, but he robbed us bankrupt. We asked the minister to interfere and all allocations was denied to SACFC. I am chairman of HAFA (Helderberg Artisanal Fishers Association) and secretary of AFASA (Artisanal Fishers Association of Southern Africa) We have membership to a lot of international fisher organizations and we attend those meetings and pressure government internationaly. Currently we have a delegation in Bangkok at the summit. I am based in the Strand/ Gordons bay.
My hands on fishing experience include the following:
Linefishing, harvest, processing and marketing
Wcrl , harvest both sectors and marketing
Hake harvest both as trawl and longline
Tuna and Swordfish longline Harvesting
Beachseine in Namibia and local used last permit area 23.
Setnets with permit holders at Dwarskersbos
Pelagic purse seine
Research related participation
1992 Skiboat snoek viability in Walvisbay
1992 wcrl viability between Walvisbay and Swakopmund
1988 Pelagic research South and Eastern Cape Viability study
1997 Wcrl movements in False bay, rejected by MCM but proven to be true in 2001
2003 Skiboat longline for inshore kingklip.
Caught fish in Chile, Namibia and whole coastline of SA.

Hi Strandwolf.In your defence,I don,t think anyone can question yr fishing abilities, I have known for a long time you can fish,but simply wether you have not yet found more than 50 good reasons why this proposal won,t work.So don,t take it personally boet,people are not against you, but against this dumb proposal.I will gladly fish with you anytime because I know you have the knowledge and ability,but you will probably throw me overboard because I will still be telling you what a crap proposal this is.Regards
Ivan

I am used to flack, but I stand up for what i believe in and dont lie down and just acsept what someone tells me. Thru the years I've seen how fishers are bled dry, always the excuse was because fishers is uneducated and stupid. How many complaints was lodged against these lawyers and fishery consultants supose to assist the fishers but then walk away with the cake. I've been threatened with High Court interdicts, got some, oposed them. Sued by lawyers but won the cases as my facts are on black and white. Nearly came to blows with Pallo Jordan in Gansbaai, took him for a ride to Khayalitsa and his eyes opened. Essa Moosa have never driven so fast in his life. We had a couple of pajama parties with directors at MCM. MCM even pay our expensis to meetings overseas.
As the judge stated: "This is a clear vindication that the current fishing policies are faulty and should be reviewed urgently""Fishing companies cannot have the monopoly of natural resources – these must be equitably and sustainably shared amongst all who depend on it"
I agree to the above 100%, regarding the proposal with which the thread was started i do not agree. This came out of a discussion and our (HAFA) respond was that why must the recreational sector be blamed, their fish limited to increase the commercial? The comments made warranted me to look into the regulations, and yes the current regulations is unfair. Clearly discriminating against and between the commercial, recreational boater and recreational beach angler. The question is then why and who proposed these regulations. All the answers you seek is hidden in this thread. I posted a reply on what we think needs to be done regarding the regulations. Maybe we should start a thread called, WHAT DO YOU WANT IN THE REGULATIONS AND WHY?
Ivan I and HAFA objected long time ago against this, but i needed to see what others felt. But thanks anyway.

Thanks Strandwolf.
Sometime when I,m fishing yr side i would not mind picking yr brains a bit.I can hear you are passionate about fishing, and I like to talk to guys who know the ropes.I have always found that now matter how much I know about fishing, there is always so much more to learn, and I prefer learning from guys that have the T shirts than from books.

Thanks IvanJC I live in Muizenberg and I am always keen on a site.
We can always take a weekend off to build false panels into the boat. :clow
Does anyone remember the MCM officials who were smokkeling perlemoen with a duck built with false panels?
They even took a can of paint with them to sea to paint over the gaps in the panels.
