Tony, you will require a fishing licence which costs R60.

You can purchase this permit directly from the NPA or from any post office.

 

[drewmill]

fishing anywhere requires a liscence, yep any post office will do and it is valid for a year from date of purchase, just have your id

 

[tony.paton2005]

hey guys

about fishing in the harbour must you be a club member or is it any one with a boat?

 

thanks

 

 

[MichaelK]

Tony, you are welcome to share your fishing stories with us.

I'm sure we could all learn from you and you from us.

Go ahead mate, waiting in anticipation

 

[MichaelK]

Duran, i'm no expert on this topic, but reading the previous write ups about fishing in the harbour. It looks like you have to belong to a club and the club has to apply to the harbour master to allow a certain amount of boats to fish out in the harbour.

I have a fishing ski and every now and then take a chance and fish near the mangroves.

I have not been caught yet (touch wood)

 

[drewmill]

correct you need to belong to a club and they can only allow a max of fifty boats a day on the water. you can fish on the sand banks from the yaught mall to charlie crofts or central sand bank. the use of and collection of cracker shrimp requires a special permit which if i remember correctly you can also get from the post office (i do stand to be corrected though)
