We should let them go their way?<br /><br />I work in InfoComm, every bytes we send oversea, cost the provider more. Should we restrict a whatsapp message such as LOL, 👍, or jokes that not all appreciate?<br /><br />To an angler, fishing is all their world. For those not doing fishing may see us as people' who left stuffs that may endanger others.<br />I am an angler myself. I like the fishing experience. If I want to land a fish on most of my cast, I will go to a place that I can do it. If I want to take a fish home badly, I go to a pay pond or market. If not I go to a legal place to fish with my fellow anglers and enjoy the time there.<br /><br />Give them a break.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8637750017648124158.post-34261858535003441442016-07-15T01:39:58.665+08:002016-07-15T01:39:58.665+08:00I don't agree that PUB has opened up more spot...I don't agree that PUB has opened up more spots for fishing. Instead they have taken away more. Before they built the Punggol and Marina reservoirs we could fish at the Singapore and Kallang rivers and all the connecting drainage system. Now it all gone. Same goes for Punggol reservoir, all the connecting rivers and drainage system together with Coney Island gone. All our reclaimed coastlines gone, all fishing prohibited. Mac Ritchie reservoir used to have a sizeable legal area but now it has been taken away leaving us with only a 20m area that is crisscrossed with submerged wires. It has become a joke. The population has exploded but the fishing areas have shrunk tremendously. <br />We sports fishermen want the PUB to license us to fish and fine heavily those caught fishing without a valid licence. As for fishing pressure,we have so many reservoirs we can rotate them by closing each of them for six months to recover. <br />We can also help the PUB to record the types and sizes of the fishes caught and from where and when. And to also help the PUB better understand the ecology, we can also help to tag the fishes caught and release.<br />By licensing us, you are giving us ownership of our waters and we are your partnersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
