Here's the update on the quarry phone call with the owner.

I phoned him and asked him if we could fish there and he told me that people caused problems there in the past and that he doesn't even allow his friends to fish there anymore. He complained about fish being removed from the quarry and moved to other locations.

The owner sounds like a young man with a perky temper :)

After mentioning that WE will pay him he said " Hoeveel donnerse mense is julle wat wil vang".

I know that i am going to convince him because he asked me to call him in the morning!

What i need to know is firstly:

1. How many of you guys are interested in fishing there?
2. What are you willing to pay per month for fishing?
3. Do you agree on catch and release?


He is going to ask me all these questions tomorrow so please let me know who would be interested in beeing regular visitors. After we have given him our offer and amount of people he will not adjust after that and i won't expect him too.

I want to make it clear to him that we are going to be about 5 people (safety in numbers) and that we are willing to pay (If possible R200 each which gives him R1000 a month).

Please respond is interested.

Regards

Sory to say this but I still can't understand the guys reasoning... It is Ok to live ther as long as you do not fish?

Anyway, Thank you very much for the info and all your effort. You desirve my "Hero of the day card".... and yes i have a hero and P@#h@l of the the day prize.

First of all let me sy that a R200 a month is a bit steap for a place wher we risk our lives in going. So if it is a bit less I am in. We should see if we can get like membership cards made to ensure that we have access to the quarry.

Safety in numbers is the only way of going to the quarry, so in this regard the more people who chip in the better and safer the quarry will become.

Lastly Catch and release is a must if we want to keep the quarry in a good condition. Plus is there any other way of fishing?

Again thank you very much for your efford.

You see, he doesn't want to many people there that he made very clear to me (hence me stating 5).

Secondly, R200 is nothing for a monthly fee seing that you pay that for 1 trip to basslake.

Thirdly, we will not be assured of our safety at the quarry because you are not safe anywhere anymore.

He would want a certain amount of people visiting the quarry so that he can build up trust and see that it's working out fine and that he's property is respected and left in the same manner as found.

I am sure that the vagrants that live there do it against the owners permission and that he won't be able to get rid of them.

Where is zucas today? did he go to basslake with Basslover?

I agree however at bass lake you are getting security included in your price.

I think R200 is very steep per month.

Those Vagrants are also going to get acostomed to regulars visiting the Quarry and are you not setting yourself up for an attack?

Why won't he be able to get rid of the vagrants - has he tried?

I understand what you saying Ryan, but i have learned that vagrants are not so keen on moving because they don't have plenty other places to go.

If i had a quarry to fish somewhere in gauteng i would not have gone thru all this effort mate.

I am hungry for fishing Ryan and havnt had a good trip in more than a year.

Yeah I can see you going to a lot of effort.
But R200p/m = R2400 per Annum = a flippen nice float tube or other floatation device and you can fish more venues (safer venues)
Anyways good luck but count me out - thanks bud - I value my life and my material things too much to warrant going to that quarry

Hey Hey money talks, im in...it is really worth it, a friend of mine is also in so that makes 3 of us so far R600 for the owner, and if he lets us float tube there then it will be safer, you can launch right by the gate where the security guards are so the sceming vagrents wont have a chance...Bucknutz when you call him again pls ask him if we can tube there

Just take a greased-up goat and attach it to a swing-tennis pole and let em vagrant chase it. Use to work wonders with the villagers up in Sudan. Keeps em busy for hours.

Thank a mil for the time you took trying to convince him, BucknutZ
Count me in for the quarry :)

If there is so many people willing to join try and lower the price a bit. Origionally we thought a R1000 a month was sufficient, currently we are drawing near to R2000pm. If it is a bit cheaper more people will be able to join in.

Its not going to be to big a problem, I think. I see it this way, @ R200/m/p 5 guys will go. But to get value for money, they'll have to fish every Saturday of the month. Most people can't do that. If 10 members pay a smaller monthly fee, it'll be much simpler to get a group together of about 5 members every Saturday.

I'd really like to join you guys, but @ R200/month its very steep, unless I'm guaranteed of my safety, so that I can go on eg. a Wednesday before sunset if I suddenly get the urge.
