Interesting

Maybe CapeNature can look at this instead of looking on forums who is "maybe" transporting SM.

[Juba]

It's time we stop complaining and breed our own fish to keep the dams stocked that already has bass, like Bradvlei and Theewater

[Riprap]

I haven't looked at the vids yet but what concerns me is that if CN have to watch forums to see what is right & "wrong" with their management approach then this is major cause for concern.

We all know that an inlands fishery policy is on the cards....who knows when.....and whilst we are talking and meeting, certain species are taking over the waterways and the wagon wheels....well, they turn slowly like wagon wheels dragging us backwards in time and achieving nothing. Why you might ask, ask those in power and they will tell you that these things take time through the corridors of pressured decision making.

The WC seem to be the only pro-active province barring a few projects here and there which battle with funding but most of all, don't take into account the social economic benefits which arise from recreational fishing in this country and thus if it had to come down to an us vs. the authorities scenario, we would probably lose outright!!

Perhaps, we need to educate them a bit and guys, that would mean membership for numbers which translates into association through participation....think about this! :blue-rolleyes:

[Q]

erhm
who said CN is bothering watching forums in the first place....
Sounds like big brother syndrome.

[Riprap]

@ Q - we have purists, perfectionists, etc and then we have realists boet - you decide... :blue-rolleyes: :blue-smile:

[Q]

Rippie. BB is watching you!
Don't move bass, boet.
They'll slap you with a pap snoek. Realistically.
:blue-badgrin:

[Riprap]

They can watch all they like, I always adopt the legal approach but what really gets to me and Valrath your videos hit it home, when it comes to recreational fishing management; boet if that ever becomes a reality in sunny SA, phone me and I will even crawl out of my death bed to view this miracle!

[Riprap]

Q - I'm not scared to talk my mind, I see what's going wrong and I don't associate with all the regime politics, etc, etc! IF YOU KEEP DOING THE SAME THING, YOU GET THE SAME RESULT....or what??

[Q]

Rippie, I'm just ripping you. Don't ever stop speaking your mind.

[Riprap]

Haha, if you never rock the boat, you won't know the tipping point....??
Some things need to be said, in public I mean, not on internal mails circulated which most okes don't read or forward or react to. nuff said!

[Bass_Assasin]

Is it possible/legal to buy bluegill to stock my own dam?

And if so, where can I get?
