Hhaha,ja,the sea was on that day,I also didnt feel too well after eating your T bone aswell as mine and all the chips!!
Pity about the Kowie,beutiful little wooden boat that has seen lots of fish,used to be Allan Ings's boat a while back.Used to be called African Venture a few years ago.
 
Just a question guys.............is a boat with a Chokka licence allowed to hold a linefish right at the same time ? Not wanting to deviate from the sad news, always very sad to loose a life at sea, and condolenses to family and friends.

rob, they are calling it a chokka boat because thats the type of boat it was. not specifically because it catches squid. i think thats originally why they where called that, but this one is not a fishing boat and not squid. but im sure if squid are around they will take them to.

As far as I'm aware this is a linefish boat only. It's just that the terminology used here, whereby just about any commercial boat in these parts gets referred to as a chokka boat.
