Ive seen it on the news last night. This is unexeptable!! And it was most propably destined for te East?
these pelemoen smuggling rings are starting to remind me of the great "speakeasy" gangs. and by that I mean the scale of operations and the fact that there are so much corruption going hand in hand with these guys.
come on - who has seen the movie Untouchables - we need a Elliot Ness!

What does MCM do with all the confiscated perly / crays/ fish ????
Do the keep it on ice till the court case as evidence? Is someone secretly selling it off?
Just a thought... I got caught without my bait lisence in Beties one year. In court in Caledon they could not produce the evidence confiscated and the case was trown out and fine cancelled...
So what now?

that is a whole issue by it self, I know they dispose of the stuff, well alledgedly...
The MCM perlie guys in pe have done great work in recent times, but if you here the stories of how the same guys get caught over and over then our law system is not working, the fines or inprisoment time is too short and the crime is not regarded as serious enough to get a long jail sentence.... unless this change nothing will.

Agreed on a marine version of Elliot Ness! They hit you you hit them harder! Keep smashing their ops and it will become too expensive to continue!

kan dit amper nie dink. vang nie baie in jbay self nie, maar st francis het gewoonlik baie min vissers op die strande/rotse.
nou en dan hoor ek van een of twee locals wat vis vang vir die mark.
perlemoen is natuurlik n ander storie. die hele stretch van jeffreys langs die tsitsikamma kus af word goed gestroop

It will come to an end, some or other time. Nothing goes on for ever. How dump must a person be to have a processing plant in a residential area. The sad part is that the law has their fingers in the pie and some or other time an idiot like this will have their hand in an hot pie and burn. I know alot of these pearly guys and I do not like their ways. Indirectly it pumps allot of money into our city and say what want most of us also benefit off it even if you don't know about it. I burn allot off them and will keep on doing it. It's our ocean and not just theirs. But the more you tell the police about who and what the less they do. I mean how does a 25 year old drive the best cars and live in mansions but still they have no proof of income and their parents are rat poor? They get caught with kg's and rhino horns automatic weapons and all and they walk away with R5000 bail? The main culprit in this is the law that looks the other way when these guys are caught. What can we do about this, well nothing... until these bad apples are removed from the box we will be watching our ocean raped until nothing is left.

Perlemoen etc that gets confiscated usually goes on auction and sold off. This sale comes with a license saying it is legal to trade.
90% of the time its the same poacher king pin guy who buys his confiscated Perlemoen back. He then gets his "license to trade" and alters they quota of 1000kg perlemoen to 10 000kg. Thereby shifting his illegal perlemoen alongside the legal stuff.

die perlemoen ouens werk uit die PE uit, maar lyk vir my oesterbaai is die hotspot...
Die vis is meestal van die bote af, daar net een ou wat net die launch op die hoofstrand patroleer in JBAy, al die ouens gebruik paradise se launch... maar nou dat die "hoof" aankoper sy lisensie verloor het, is dit darm so bietjie beter...
