A "touch" of Lagoons From Buenos Aires
A comment of sport fishing the Pejerrey
| Spanish version |
As we are in full season of fishing of the one pejerrey, I want to make some
comments of the topic "Lagoons From Buenos Aires", for that we all have an idea
of the handling of the same ones, of the risks of exploitation and of the
pillaging to that are subjected.
There is a great disparity of services among some lagoons and other, at first sight we can think that some invest and other nr. But there are factors that are not very well-known for the Fishermen Sport and that they make us restate our concepts.
Let us suppose that Juan has a field of 800 there are. of which 300 are flooded, that makes it is to request to the County of Bs. Ace. the tax abatement of those unproductive hectares, but it happens that in that sector there is many pejerreyes, then Pedro comes and it proposes him to exploit that field flooded with Sport Fishing.
Once orderly the percentages, Pedro him requests Juan the signature of an agreement so that everything is legal, and there the one arises first problem, if Juan exploits that water and it continues receiving the abatement tax it is illegal, therefore it cannot sign any contract with Pedro, already that this could cause him problems with the Direction of Rents of the County.
So Pedro will face the business of the fishes Sport without any legal back, neither of percentages, neither of time of exploitation, therefore if it invests in a slope of boats or in a good bathroom doesn't have security of I recover of the investment, so has to face the one I negotiate in quite precarious form, this same precariousness makes him not to buy bounce and appeal to some of both or proprietary three of big fleets of boats, which will send him a certain quantity of crafts with a cost monthly, (generally among $50 / $100 per month), this is between two and three rents per month for boat, think if doesn't rent all the boats or it rains him two weekends, also the fact of not having a legal back for its activity prevents him to have access to the necessary insurance for the tourists, not to be able to bill the services etc., and doesn't have any certainty of as much as goes to to last their business, since any day the owner of the field can give for concluded the agreement.
Another thing is, if the one that exploits the services is the owner of the field, in that case has the security that nobody will take out it of their property, but it doesn't obviate the other risks of the activity.
To these risks it is necessary to add him the one that they imply the measures of the Direction of Hydraulics of the County that can to leave it without water, or to flood him even more the field and if carried out infrastructure the it loses, in the year 2004 with the canalization dried off the lagoons The Boldface, The New one, The friends, and several but, so to all the previous risks there is that to add him this.
I remember that San Enrique's people in Colonel Granada to build an alteo 2 meters of high 3 of wide for but of 500 meters long to be able to to arrive to the coast since the road was flooded, and at the little time had that to dredge the whole channel of the slope of boats because there was not water.
Therefore it is necessary to value the effort of the lenders that offer us a good slope of boats, sure boats, bathrooms, and everything that makes to the necessary comfort for a good day of fishing to happen, since it confronts an entire series of risks like we have seen before, but one lacks very important.
La strawberry of the dessert:
Those stealthy fishermen that are not so stealthy, a while ago in Junín they confiscated 1.800 kilos of captured pejerrey in an illegal way for a well-known business company of fish of that city, fact that was published in the first one page of the local newspapers, but speaking with fishermen juninenses me they commented that this company would make thirty years that it depredates and never nobody those there was sancionado, they also commented me that the previous intendant would have too permissive with the stealthy fishermen since the Tourism of Fishing Sport it was not among their priorities, but for luck the current Intendant has intended to return Junín the privilege place among the fishing ones from Buenos Aires that should never lose, by means of infrastructure works and a strict control of the stealthy fishing.
This fué published in Pescanet April 4 of 2001:
Another sounded case of pillaging happened in one lagoon of Pehuajó that had a great population of pejerreyes of good size, where the stealthy ones didn't leave almost anything and the operators of the lagoon to look for other activities, also in that area they were confiscated two thousand kilos almost of pejerrey few days ago.
Many remember the lamentable case of one lagoon of the area of Chascomús, where a policeman shot on a fisherman stealthy, and the fisherman's relatives with nets declared that the intendant of the place it had authorized it to carry out this fishing.
And we could continue this way until the eternity, regrettably the County is absent without warning, since our governor (menemista-duhaldista-kirchnerista) it is very busy in knowing like it leaves the internal fight and it cannot be in charge of of the fishing resources, but this should not be surprised, be enough with remembering its administration "menemista" like secretary of agriculture cattle raising and FISHES, and this way it was the Argentinean Sea.

I have a doubt, the Mr. Oscar Fortunato Fishing undersecretary of the Governor's Solá Cabinet that "fogoneó" the pillaging of Bay San Blas, has something to do with the Mr. Fortunato of the fleet fishing ice-machine of Mar del Plata????, and, of being this way, is more the person suitable a commercial fisherman to occupy the position of fishing undersecretary of the county of Buenos Aires???
Returning to the topic of lagoons,
With enough cause knowledge I can to tell them that in one night the stealthy ones capture between 1.200 and 2.000 kilos of fish, which sell to the I tweeted of the truck (on the route) to $2 the kilo, ($ 2.800 average per night) of there they deduce the different "tolls" and the rest is net earn, it will be very difficult to finish with that illegal activity, but some day it is necessary to begin.
All this you could avoid with the simple one control of the routes, revising all medium truck that has teams of cold or refrigerating box, and requesting the origin vouchers to the trade that sell "Pejerrey of Lagoon" since in almost all the lagoons this forbidden one the fishing commercial, if one wants one can, it is a question of priorities.
Regrettably the authorities of the County of Buenos Aires that are who have to put emphasis in this, you they occupy but in achieving the pillaging of the Flooded Bay in San Blas that in putting end to the stealthy fishing in the lagoons from Buenos Aires, would seem that we have one Predator County, but not alone in their Executive Power, since recently time the Chamber of Deputies of the County of Buenos Aires voted for the affirmative in the application of suspension of the Natural standby status of Bay San Blas, so that the yellow" "ships slaughter the fishing resources of the area, undoubtedly neither in the executive neither in the Chamber of Deputies of Buenos Aires are neither fishermen neither conservationist neither intention of fomenting the one Tourism of Fishing.
Somebody would have to explain to these officials that there are almost three million pejerrey fishermen that buy equipment, they consume fuel, they pay entrances, they buy or they rent crafts etc., that implies a lot of money that moves this activity and that today per today it cannot be left to the good of God, a regulation for the orderly and sustainable exploitation of the resource is indispensable to avoid that run the luck of so many other national resources (indiscriminate pruning, fishes commercial in interior rivers, the mine of Esquel etc.).
Of something I am sure, they are not isolated cases, the desidia of the politicians in what refers to natural resources is not sole right neither excluding of a county, it is a wrong that it whips almost everything our Homeland.
Finally, returning to the topic of those lenders of services, like in all activity there are some they make all it possible to give the best service for what get paid and others that charge the more possible and they don't give services, but that would imply to make a punctual analysis of each fishing one, and that is very difficult without knowing the circumstance of each one.
The accent with a precept that listens
of a "tourist" operator of pejerrey fishing:
"If there is good fishing, the fishermen sleep in a garage, they shit in the
grass, and they go aboard in a bathroom."
Of us it depends that this class of "lenders" are alone in their lagoons, until they change way of to think, a thing is not to be able to and other not to want, if we had a County that was interested in the topic and participated active in the conservation of the resource, this same County could demand to the tourist operators a minimum of services to be able to operate, and we all would come out beneficiaries.
In this case I won't put forms to any authority, because they really go it by the organ that "seems" that they use to think, I have enough it with sharing it with those :
SPORT FISHERMEN
