Well at least now we know that we will keep all spots private and will not post them on here for the members to enjoy. Sorry guys but this was what I meant about sharing private spots. Even though they advertise in the back of SA Bass not a lot of guys are going to fish there. That was the main reason of keeping it private for a while just so that a couple of guys could enjoy some decent fishing.

- Thread starter BASSED
- Start date
Johanvc, I found Walkhaven by chance (Ashleigh has a webpage!!!) - as we have dogs that we appreciate spending time with them off leash. You may notice that I am not part of the bass fraternity, and as such was not aware that it was a "closely guarded secret". Well guys, if a spot is good enough for a few, it might as well be good enough for a few more. Ask Ashleigh and Colin, it's their home and their livlihood so they DO want more people to fish, and have place where families and their pets can have relaxation time. That's how they earn a living.
Look at the offshore posts, and the Rock and Surf posts? These guys SHARE info. Maybe participants in the other facets of angling should do the same?

Offshore and Rock and surf cannot be compared to fishing at a small dam like that. If you spend a bit more time on the site you will see that spots for major dams get shared. So be realistic. How fast do you think that place will be pressured and the Fish will not be interested in biting. Why do you think places like Vasfontein and Tulani is not so popular between the bass guys. Those places were hammered at one stage. So compare the fishing now to way back before they were pressured. We just said that we want to keep the name of the site. That was why the name was distributed via PM and not the open forum. It was kept a secret so that people like Sparnar that have not caught a decent bass could go and enjoy some decent fishing and get a fish over 1kg. But ja that idea went down the drain. Like i said go and fish that place frot wile you can because believe me it is not going to last.

Interesting question - particularly when you mention people stuffing it up. People like who? Like me? Mmmmm, I would appreciate to take that discussion offline.
There are responsible people on this forum, and if they aren't? Well now, the other responsible people on this forum will sort them out. If a SL member goes to my fave spot and acts like a dick, I will ask him NICELY NOT to act like a dick. Problem Sorted. If problem persists - escalation. Problem Sorted.
Guess what? You and me both (and the other 4000+ members of Sealine) have some common objectives here. Collective learning (as in places where the action is good) and collective sharing (guess what? same deal - where the action is good!). The 3rd, is to collectively look after resources (read SUPPORT the ethic of CAR of the fishstock, and SUPPORT the ethic of ensuring that the owners of the business can remain in business ie to be sustainable, and have the opportunity for growth). In order for that to happen, they need to have guys like us (not just a select few) who can pay the bills, and keep the operation going and growing. Economic fact of life. Another fact of life, is that the select few (unless they are forking out BIG AMMO for the privilege of exclusivity) are not providing a sustainable environment for the owners of the facility,,,,,,,,which means that if it's not worth their while, it could cease to exist as a facility for everyone.

Why do you want to take it offline? Well first of I don’t know you so I can’t say if you would have stuffed the place up. I see you have been a member for a while but have not seen you being very active on this side of the forum. We had the topic of this venue (Saying Private Venue) open for discussion and everybody that were willing to try the spot out and that would be interested in joining came along for a day’s fishing to see what the spot is all about. You can say what you want to. I had a very nice spot here in Pretoria that delivered decent fish on a regular basis. I shared it with two people at the end it got so bad that you could not even get a spot to fish and that day I said the next honey whole I get I will keep to myself.
Sealine is an open forum and any tom d!ck and harry can read the forum whether you are a member or not. That was why the name and details where pmed to members that were interested in joining. As stated before we did not want to name the place on an open forum. So if you had pmed me and told me that you would have been interested in joining I would have sent you the details

Ek is nie kwaai nie. Ek is net moeg daar voor om mense te probeer help en dan word jy in die rug gesteek. Dis hoekom ek se dat ek sal nie honey wholes met die mense deel nie.Daar is baie mense daar buite wat daai R2000 kan bekostig om dat jy die ou kan af betaal. Ek kan 100 mense soos niks vir hom kry nie. Maar mens wil ook nie he die plek moet baie vinnig groot word nie want dit gaan druk om die vang sit en wat is die nut om R2000 vir n plek te betaal as jy nie eers n vis kan kry nie. Dis hoekom die naam in pm’s na die mense gestuur was. So dat MEMEBRS van die site dit eers kan geniet.
Funny thing is that you THINK you get more visitors to your place by advertising it publicly but you loose people like me (looking for nice private spot).
The rest of us are living in fear of over fishing and advertising it keeps us away. Why do you think i didn't join the place after it was posted here?
There will be no taking it offline, offline se mo3r.
It started here and will finish here.

What about a place like bass lake? Flip daar is duisende bass in daai gat. En niemand overfish daar nie, want nie almal hou daarvan om te k@k en betaal nie. Of dink julle basslake sou leeg wees as hulle naweeke oop was?
Ek dink dis slim dat hulle vir tye toe is, soos met spawn tyd. Gee dir visse tyd om moer honger te raak. Dalk 'n goeie idee vir ander "over fished" plekke!
