Please no! I can recall the days of camping in Paternoster as a youngster. After the 8th day of eating Crayfish it starts tasting like dry bread!!!
....still love the place though, and Crayfish!

Hi sealiners
I was very disgusted on Saturday 15/01/2011 to see how much cape salmon was hauled out by trek netters at Strandfontein and to top it all most of the fish was under size.I heard the guys name is naartjie that runs the netting. Is it legal to net cape salmon?Where is the sea fisheries inspectors.....are they not suppose monitor when netting of fish takes place? Please respond.....they raping the sea and killing shore angling.

shockwave this discussion has been had many a time... they have almost ZERO influence.... a druppel in die emmer... the problem is they are the only kind of commercial net fishing that you see...
The inshore hake trawling fishery, DESTROYS our fish stocks. Lemme tell you why....
Yearly average bycatch
Silver Kob - 294264 kg if you take an average weight of 3kg, that's 98 thousand and 88 kabeljou....
Geelbek - 83984kg if you take an average weight of 2kg that is 41 thousand 992 geelbek.
And this is bycatch there isn't size limits on these like our normal commercial linefishermen have.
So yes the trekkers do some damage. Is it massive, no. Does it look bad, yes. Should we spend time and effort on moaning about it??? Not until we get hake listed by SASSI on at least orange status!!!!

Hi Shockwave
You went and did it. You rubbed the lamp and said "treknet" and here I am.
The number for the harbourmaster in Kalk Bay is 021 7888313.
They are allowed to catch linefish species. That includes geelbek.
How much geelbek was there?

Hi, I got this email this morning.It will pobably explain why there arn't any more fish in the Swartkops river.
Hi All
A hunch is a hunch, no matter how small - got a call from Gustav at 21h00
last night - two possible netters above Redhouse. We went out at 21h15, and
systematically checked all the probable sites. We noticed a group of five
people at the pump house above Redhouse, and watched them with night vision
glasses for an hour or so. We noticed that they were speaking Chinese, and
they had a boat, and a sedan car. They were joined shortly afterwards by
another bakkie - ford ranger. Two got into the boat, and rowed out - lo and
behold, they started checking a net in the water. We were in a bush, and had
we to leave the bush, they probably would have spotted us. Luckily, Gustav
had a mate on duty at Swartkops SAPS - so a quick phone call got them
mobilised from the Swartkops side. Wayne was contactable, so he came from
the Perserverance side.
We arrested 7 Chinamen - the net was 100 meters long, stretching across the
river - say 60 meters, and the rest of it was laid parallel to the side on
Motherwell side. All up, it was 100 meters long. We liberated all the
"alive" fish by cutting them out of a typically "fine" type Chinese net. 18
Grunter of varying sizes, 11 leery, 5 scilla crab, a freshwater barbel??, a
river bream. The rest of the fish were all dead, and consisted of mullet
grunter, cob barbell. It was genuinely a sad site.
Without night vision, I doubt whether we would have been successful - we saw
it all happening as clear as daylight, and after apprehending them, we
showed them just how it works - checkmate my China!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thandie and Ettienne from MCM were called, and all 7 chinese were detained,
boat included.
We got home at 03h00. The smile on Gustav's face could be seen from a mile
away!!!!!!!!!

Then he would shuffle off murmuring expletives
Nothing more obscure than a domesticated rocker!
