Illegal jigging in Port St Johns 2020 - The Video
Before anyone goes crazy prawn, this video was in response to serious concern amongst individuals both in the public and in the government sectors.
Please take it from where it comes, a concerned Sardine News...and an effort to create some direction out of all the maddening reports and rumours of the dumb fool activities going on in our beloved Port St Johns.
Please take the time to refute the claims and anecdotes herein - we all need to learn. But at this stage, we, and the garrick, and the kob, are in big trouble.
A quick summary of what is in the video...
Illegal jigging is going on right now, this August and September 2020, in the Port St Johns estuary. Where kob and garrick are visiting in numbers, to spawn. This is their time of the year to reproduce and we should not be killing them. Especially since when in spawning mode they eat voraciously and are hence vulnerable to not only jigging as they congregate in numbers, but normal fishing too.
DAFF have entered the fray but this video was put together as much to educate the DAFF officials as it was to educate the public at large. Thise of us who know, need to educate the others.
And finally, do not post pics or videos of criminals engaging in criminal activities. This can be used against the law in court when the time eventually comes. So. Rather email to me Sean on umzimkulu@gmail.com, and myself and my contacts at DAFF will put together a file to help the authorities carry out their job of law enforcement.
Until the next time bomb - Sean
The Sardine News has been spreading good news and useful information since 1986. Back then it was a print publication. A tabloid newspaper in fact. Which we sold all around South Africa. Since then it became a glossy magazine, then a website, and now it is a fully fledged content channel that can be stumbled upon all over the interweb.
