Has anyone heard of brown squaekers being pulled out of the vaal by the way? over easter we caught an odd fish at the vaal and i have no idea what it is. the closest i have come to identifying it is a squeaker. i have a picture but need to put it on my PC still. its a small catfish like fish, with a smaller mouth, brown in colour. not a very big fish either. caught it at night on earthworms. large dorsal fin. will post a pic asap.

Alfe - them Squeakers used to be very common in the vaal system.

IN SA they are called "Klipvis".

Glad to hear they are still around

GUYS!! i know this is unrelated but im desperate for info. IM so PISSED off with SAMSA, they do not even understand their own marine notices nor which are the latest.

I have a 3.2 meter boat with a 15 hp motor. now marine motice 13 which i think is the latest regarding certification and skippers licenses says that boats of 15 hp or less are EXEMPT form the necessity for licencing of any kind. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can somebody clariffy that for me. butonly if you really know, word of mouth seems to be NO good on this issue. ive gone as far as to call samsa themselves and they actually cant help me can you believe it. so i dont know how anyone is enforcing this.

thanks guysd any info will help, ciao.

Hi Alfe,

I did my skipper through a guy called Stan Walters (0828004300). Him and his wife wrote the "trainging manual" for all the qualifications that you can do through the South African Deep Sea Fishing Assosiation (including Cat "R" - recreational - for dams, estuaries and harbours). Give him a call - he'll be able to help you!

They are based in Midrand.

This is the best shot by far!
Dunno what the other pics look like but have to agree this is an impressive pic, you should use it as your avatar buddy. so as to stir it forever::S Don't think I ever congratulated you when the original post was made as I wanted to steer clear of all the CARP that was going on at that time, so CONGRATS on whatever the weight was, it's sure looks like you'll be hard pressed to get something bigger, that was a catch of a lifetime, happy that you're a Sealiner!!!!
