Rob as per your information there... the fish taken by the trekkers or us in falsebay are then not here to breed?

I'm also still struggling with the different cob species, i think someone, might have been aqua even posted a 4th one on a thread.
 
no 1 and no 5 are the same specie, but because the is an overlap of territory, they only allow guys to keep 1 fish over 110 East of Agulhas, in case by accident the guys confuse the Silver and Dusky Kobs (they can look similar when they are big). West of Agulhas doesnt matter because the Dusky does not travel this far South, or even West.

Just asking because few things in life is as big a dissappointment to me as when you gut the fish you are so proud of catching and it's just eggs everywhere...

Even used to get upset if it was a carp, and i don't care much for them...
 
Having said that Marthin, apparently, and according to Mr Hart from Kalk Bay, when they gutted those big fish from the net, they were full of Roe. Maybe the fish carry those Roe for the Summer, and release them back into Agulhas Current once they head back up the East coast. Maybe they even breed in False Bay as well as the Agulhas Banks ? Do the Scientists even know all of these facts ?
 
Marthin, your fish was not sexually mature yet......not too sure about the Silver Kob, but the Dusky's only reach maturity at between 5 - 8 years, which can translate to 5 - 8kg more or less.

Solution to the problem

BAN recreational angling

Then the people that do it for a LIVING can go on undesturbed

We do it for fun, they do it to survive

U know what really irritates me, well let me tell u

In most posts u get some internet warrior that makes threats (but doesn't have the balls to really do it)
U know those statements like
Let's use them for bait
Let's kill them
Let's stop them by force
Let's let's let's
The bastirds
The rapists
And whatever else pops up into those 2 brain cells at that moment

U own a mansion, a big 4x4, a nice boat and lots of fishing tackle, and u make lots of money doing what u do
But
In this world there are people that DON'T know if they'll earn a tenth of what u earn at the end of the month, they might make nothing this month, but they also need things, and have families

Once u KNOW what it is to earn a living from the sea, then open your mouth, till then pls stop talking nonsense

I know commercials and I know commercial poachers (no licence), its a hard life, with NO guarentees, in fact everything works against them !

So you wanne burn a net or a boat, show me you'll do it, show me youre more than an internet "hero", that hides behind a ip address !

So u started releasing fish a year ago cause u saw it on dstv, but tell me how many fish has your family TREE taken in their history, doesn't that make your grandfather and father part of that group of rapists and bastards ?

Comments like these are pushing away the very people that spend so much time on this forum trying to help YOU become a better angler

Every man has the right to earn a living !
So how do you bullshit people daily, making them believe that the product that u sell is exactly what they need ? And then u know its not !
U call that making an honest living ?
