What is the fishing/weather  like end of September in RB.

Myself and a Barracuda are planning a trip.

Is one allowed to fish in the harbour?

Are there some reefs offshore worth a visit targeting game fish?

Any info would be appreciated.

The windy days will probably still be around. 

There should still be the odd Garrick around in the Bay.  There are a number of shallow reefs outside the harbour entrance but I doubt if there will be game fish around.  Should get the odd bottom fish on the reefs.

Gentleman the Garrick are 'thick', 22 came out along South Pier last weekend... 2 Nights ago we were fishing and a bud of mine caught a 22 kilo Salmon/Kob... Also the shad are in abundance not to mention the wala-wala at night... I've also heard talk of a few 'cuda' coming out further South...

You can fish in the Harbour just make sure you have a 'Port Control' sticker, which is relatively easy to obtain and as far as I know not to pricey, less than a R100... And don't linger in the shipping lanes...

As for reefs offshore, there are a few but I doubt the guys will share them with you... Let me know when you are in town, we can meet up over a 'wettie' and chat...

Huh? Been living in Richards Bay for most of my life and never heard of that rule. When did that come into play? Vessel permit is all I've ever done (plus fishing permit as well obviously)

@Klippies I'll send you a PM for spots

If you'd read previous posts of mine, it's gotten to the point where I was almost arrested for not having one. Not to mention having my kayak searched by 5 Transnet Officials and 3 Parks Board folk.. Use it don't use it.
