Happy New Year 2025!
If you haven’t subscribed yet to this website then now is the time to do so. For R40 a month, which in some cases is less than your daily coffee-on-the-hop, you get to read all the latest news affecting the fishing industry.
Yes I know, you want to read for free. Unfortunately websites such as this one cost thousands of Rands to maintain. Unlike others, this website is not funded by any other means, only by subscribers and the occasional sponsored article. So its survival is tenuous at best. Seven years on it houses about 2000 articles and as far as I know provides the only complete history of the fishing industry for the 21 years I have been involved.
In case you are pondering, unlike the print version of Fishing Industry News Southern Africa, it is just me putting this together. No team of people other than some very welcome guest writers who are happy to help out from time to time. Their contributions are highly appreciated.
By the way, Google Search informed me that in November there were 8K searches on the site. For a niche website such as this, this is an achievement. It means people are using the website to find information, not just to read.
So please subscribe. All you need to do is use your card (Mastercard or Visa) to pay – it is perfectly safe backed by Payfast security – the same system used by countless retail organisations.
You will be glad you did so.
