new paddler/fisherman

[simisteven]

I have finally purchased a fishing ski. I did read an article somewhere on this site about what licences one must have but I cannot find it.

Can someone please advise what licences I need and where to get it eg post office?

simisteven, welcome to the wonderful world of ski-fishing. We in Port Elizabeth have a couple of guys going out regularly, but unfortunately with all the cold fronts hitting us over the weekends fishing has been very slow.

As soon as the weather stabilizes (Prolly around end September beginning October)we shoulod be fishing every weekend again.

You are welcome to contact me if you need some advice and if you send me a private message we can arrange to go out when the weather is a bit better.

Hoping to hear from you soon and welcome again

Goes to show. Only the Paddle ski guys actually ask/care about licenses. Simisteve's 8th post and he's concerned about being legal. Good man. This forum is the ONE. The okes are raping the sealife off the rocks and no one asks them for anything. Here's a waterborne angler that no Parkie could catch ever and he wants to be aboveboard. Shot boet.

While fishing in the Reserve off Cape Point, we were stopped by Nature Conservation (on behalf of MCM) and asked to produce licenses etc.

Needless to say there were no hassles. We have also been checked at the slip during Cray season.

Simisteven, the licenses that you require are as follows:-

1. General angling licence (Fishing licence)
2. Vessel licence

You need to obtain both in order to be fully legal fishing out at sea.

The total cost comes in at R135 and both are purchased for the parks board or post office.

Cheers

Thanks for the info I will get the necessary licenses asap don't fancy the hassle of falling foul of parks board okies.

Thanks for all the advice and encouragement from other members, if anyone else has advice/photos of their fishing tackle that would be great.

I appears tha there are a lot of folk out there happy to share their knowledge and experience.

Hi

Last trip to Buffles I got the parkies to help me load the ski on my bakkie,  They just asked if I had caught anything and were more intersted in teh rudder and fish finder than anything else?

Cheers
