If we as flytalk members can put to gether a list of places on the vaal we will visit. If the area ans Yellows are handled with the correct care and management of the resort police and enforce the rules. The opposite is also true if the resort doess not stick to the rules their names will be rmoved from the list and put onto a no go area list.

The economic pressure something like this will put pressure on resorts to change their enviromental stance.

Like I said just an idea?

Hi Monster,

I like the idea, but we have to have support from as many members of the forum as possible, else this will not work:

Current list of venues I have visited listed from the barrage towards and past Parys:

1. Erina - now closed
2. Eagles - now closed

3. Yellow fish paradise
4. Strydoms
5. Strome
6. Eendekuil
7. EastCo
8. Smilin Thru
9. Otters Haunt
10. Dimalachite
11. Hukana Mata
12. Benjoh
13. Elgro
14. Raaswater
15. Oord Nebo

I think out of the above Elgro is probably the only venue actively policed....

Nice Jeremy

You are right we need the support of all the forum members, maby we can ask admin to send a Pm to every one and ask them to commit not to fish the red list places.

Think the list can be sent to lodges to indicate if they are red or green.

I am not convinced by the response, sorry.

Totally agree. They were informed whilst the transgression was taking place, by numerous people, over multiple days. And they did NOTHING to stop the behavior. A nicely worded email response unfortunately won't make me take my business back there.

I would suggest a list of venues that make no attempt to better the situation, and then we boycott them. Period. It will be simple enough to administer, and I promise that the venues will jump through all sorts of hoops to get off that list. We just need to send them a list of changes they need to make in order to comply. Those that are not interested in changing can happily go out of business.

Hi Guys,

i have followed this tread with some interest, what do you think of this suggestion in working with a venue like this and creating a membership programme with the owners where we will pay a yearly/monthly fee to them and or upping there daily fishing prices where it will be of financial interest to them to look after these fish? i dont know just a idea?

what are your thoughts?

Regards

Sean Schutte

I agree Koos. Oord Nebo only charges R 20.00 per day angler. Their main income is from the Chalets, camping and bottle store.

If 10 f/f day anglers pull out the loss is R 200.00.

If 2 groups of catch and keep fisherman, staying in the Chalets are banned, the loss is R 1000.00.

Why is Arend's Nes the way it is over a weekend ???????

Cash in the till rules, EVERYWHERE.

My point exactly!!!! To the FF's they say what they want to hear and to the Rest what they want to hear. It's almost the same scenario as our beloved President Jakob Regop, to the farmers he says don't go we need you, but then they defend the singing of Kill the Boer in the highest court??? Politics is a funny thing, eish!!!!

Ive been following this thread with great interest,
could someone please post a copy of the legislature that says
that smallmouth yellows are a protected species, that way we can keep a copy of the law with us to show to people who transgress these laws in order to educate them.
