having heard some of the replys to questions ,reports on meetings etc it appears that the commercial sector has the ssfc in its pocket the cfo has a biased attitude toward the commercial sector , the ssfc has the opinion that angling boats are selling their catches (how else could they afford new boats) the charter boats sold their fishing licences ( after being advised to do so or they would be lost anyway by the then fisherys) but still keep selling fish. the selling of the licences is ok for ssfc committee members to do though ( aquiring a full pressure stock licence for a crabber when it was not needed then selling it on for a good profit . as there a many on the ssfc who have little knowledge of the fishing/charter angling industry the must i think rely on the fisherys officers reports so if they say that angling boats are selling fish and must be punished then it must be so !!!! the fact that the ssfc should be representing the interests of all stakeholders seems to have been re written to read to represent the interests of the commercial sector alledgedly !!!!!!! the next meeting of ssfc will be very well attended i feel . it will be an interesting time to see democracy in action !!!!! not
