conservation thru the sustainable management of the resource is what we should be aiming for.
There is 2 problems that we face
1. Fishos not getting off their arses and doing something to protect our sport ( as evidenced by the lack of response to the survey regarding size and bag limits. 3500 respondants of which 1800 were non fishos, which equates to 1700 of the 500 000 licensed fishos. Not good)
2. Infighting and lack of direction of fishos. This fight will need to be led from the front by a group that will represent fishos, spearos, clubs, divers, pros and retailers. We need to run like a well oiled machine because that is what we are up against .
There will be no point bitching and moaning when it is all done and we get locked out of our favourite fishing spot.
Please think about your fishing future
Cheers
