Here is the letter that was sent with your names attached
Subject: Catch and Release at the Annual Jozini Tiger Fish Bonanza
Dear Sir,
I write this letter with good intentions.
I run a fishing charter/guide business; one of the places that I operate from is Lake Jozini specifically targeting Tiger Fish.
Many anglers are concerned about the slaughter of 100’s of Tiger Fish at the Annual Jozini Tiger Fish Bonanza, and we are concerned about this and so I write this letter on behalf of them and myself.
The purpose of this letter is to start a communication with your club who organises this competition in order to convince you to convert this annual competition to purely Catch & Release, whilst I understand that it is too late to do anything about the 2010 Bonanza, we would like to see these changes happen from the 2011 Bonanza.
Personally I would like to fish this competition, but refuse until it becomes only a Catch & Release competition and there are also several anglers that used to fish this competition who now feel the same.
There are methods that can be used and that have already been used like colour boards measuring the length of fish and so on which have already successfully been used at other Tiger Fish competitions at Lake Jozini recently.
I look forward to your response.
Kind Regards
