Whats the current going rate for a Kg of Chokka . Any signs of a recovery in the industry ?

Nah mate those ohs has hammered them for too long . I doubt it will recover .

R100.00 is a good price .

On the other hand , I just want to rub slat in the wounds , I don't pay for Tjokka , We catch them when we go to sea , leaker XXL .

If I can come up to PE , I can get 100kg for Free, From a Tjokka skip mate of mine , the trouble is not getting up there , its getting them on land to actually get it .

If theres no tags on the tjokka [ a piece of paper with boat name and Tjokka size .] Its most probably stolen pans .
And there lots of that going around in PE too .

Wit aas is wit aas , Occies works just as well .

My neighbour's son stays in PE and he brought good chokka back the other day but I only found out about it afterwards.

Next time he will bring me some. Years ago a friend om mine in Mossel Bay said he will sell me Sards for R1/kg but I have to take 50kg, straight off the boat. I found out the other day he is in jail, don't know what went wrong.

Last time I bought chokka in Mbay(nice big ones too),I think I payed R240/5kg box,must go find out the new prices soon,my chokka is finished now...

if I have to pay R100/kg I'll complain and leave without it,rather cut 2 legs off a few occies and let them go again...those tenticals grow back in time again...and it's better than just killing the octopuss

If that fish is fresh and not imported with red sunken in or even missing eyes, i think the prices arent bad except perhaps the dorado.

The geelbek had to come all the way from cape town.

SAfish · « **Reply #29 on:** January 14, 2015, 11:12:28 AM »

Marthin, I was in a hurry and did not go in to check but next time I go past I will check how fresh they are. I wonder what Yellowtail goes for in Struisbaai at the moment. Last year this time we paid R40/kg in Struis. Lenny?

Marthin · « **Reply #30 on:** January 14, 2015, 11:15:43 AM »

i think the price on the boats dropped to R6/kg at one stage when the tail was insane. Don't know what they are getting a kg now.

Marthin · « **Reply #31 on:** January 14, 2015, 11:23:29 AM »

Friend says currently about R30/kg off the boat.

BETTYS · « **Reply #32 on:** January 14, 2015, 11:37:00 AM »

Paid R175/kg for chokka at my local bait shop in Bettys this December. I think I was rip off if you can get it for R100/kg in PE!

Lichia amia · « **Reply #33 on:** January 14, 2015, 12:21:30 PM »

So I can safely assume if you buying your Chokka in Gauteng ( that’s if you can find )you looking at R200 plus a kg , excluding lubricant. Eina !!!

Marthin · « **Reply #34 on:** January 14, 2015, 12:29:21 PM »

there are shops in cape town charging that my friend last time i set foot in the one they were at R230/kg

But you will always get charge more parading around the Mother city in your Bulls kit

.Allout in Centurion can get it for me at R200/ kg . Still woes , but cant see myself

without a chokka in the cooler.

Mr Amia, I am assuming that you are sourcing chokka for Vidal?

Marthin · « **Reply #38 on:** January 14, 2015, 12:48:55 PM »

At that price , they should include a tube a KY too , to shove that tjokka , right up their behind , the shape and size will glide in easily .
