if you plan on fishing any of the dams run by msinsi in natal...best you take a look a the rates and requirements for launching a boat.
if you go down to the dam and just want to launch your boat for a day the fee is R50...but if like most of us you will be spending a little more time at the dam fishing...paying one day at a time gets really expensive...its entrance fee...fishing license...boat launch fee.
it would pay you to get msinsi wild card which is valid for a year...i use to get the family river cluster which cost R475 but unfortunetly when you fish certain dams they request the id number of your fishing partner so if he doesnt know your wifes id number or have a wild card has to pay a seperate entrance fee.
river cluster fees are as follows
ind. R250
couple = R375
family = R475
the boat entrance for 1 day = R50
and for the year it only costs R400...after jan. it is only R200 but there seems to be some confusion because msnisi arent sure whether their year is from march - feb as indicated on their website or from july till june...trying to get this information out of them today has proved as frustrating as getting my skippers license.
and when i indicated to msinsi that our boat registration and fishing license should be loaded onto the wild card to make it easier for everyone...well i was told that it is bad enough trying to get people to undestand how to swipe the wild card...they didnt want to complicate things any further.
something to remember msinsi will not accept cash and if you do only have cash you will have to pay an additional R5.
requirements for boat registration for the year...
your boat fitness certificate
your skippers licences
a credit or debit card
and apparently you dont need to take the boat to the dam to get the boat registered...just the relvant paperwork.
