waterfront jetti

[Ray11]

I remember back in the day I used to frequent this spot. The old jetti at the v&a waterfront. We recently went asking around and apparently people dont and cannot fish there any longer. Does anyone know why or what caused this,or if its possible to get permits to specifically fish there? Any info would be appreciated in this regard.

Not sure which jetty you referring to, but I know that no fishing is allowed anywhere in Cape Town harbour or the V&A Waterfront.

I have fond memories of fishing the breakwater ( jetty?) with my dad many years ago.  One of the reasons for its closure ( not specific to fisherman) but to all personal, was that during stormy weather the waves would break over it.  Several tourists were washed off the breakwater and into the harbour side.  If I recall correctly, there might also have been loss of life on occasion. 

The condition of the platform was also very poor in places.

So the breakwater was declared a no go zone for everyone. 

Don't fix it, just close it.

Cool guys. Thanks for the input. I remeber catching red roman there back in the day. Even saw people catching snoek.lol.

Its one of those places u could go to and only have to fear the weather and not your personal security.
