Do I need a fishing license?
I am going to Breakers in umhlanga for the weekend and plan on doing some surf fishing (pretty much my first time). Do I need to buy a lisence? If so where can I get one? And is there anyone who actually checks these days? Oh and lastly what bait and hook size should I try?

Hi There.You need to get the permit at the Post Office.It cost around R70 and the fine can be quite huge

Re: Do I need a fishing license?
any post office will have permits.
You will need a fishing permit, which is R69 and if you going to get your own bait like prawn, crabs, worm etc, that another permit R87. If you going to catch some live bait with net, you need another permit for net R87, and if you thinking of Mud crab it's another R87....
Basically, if you going to look at the sea, just give Marine and Coastal Management a blank cheque and say, do it again danny !!!

Re: Do I need a fishing license?
Yeah, i,actually the wife, got a fine for attemting to fish at Struisbaai. Sy was besig om met net n sinker te oefen om te gooi met n "gewone" katrol i p v haar koffie meul, op die blerrie strand nie eers in die water nie. R 500 as ek nie mis het nie so 2jr terug. onthou hulle is soos spiet cops, meer aandele in die taxis/pouchers so hulle mik op ons easy targets. ons het mos nie 9mm ens onder die hempde nie.george wrote:Hi There.You need to get the permit at the Post Office.It cost around R70 and the fine can be quite huge

Re: Do I need a fishing license?
nooit, i would have fight that fine. Firstly there was no hook on the line, so she was not attempting to catch anything. Secondly her line wasn't even in the water. They have to catch you actually wetting a line. That like a speed cop giving a guy a fine for revving his car.Hilux 1 wrote:Yeah, i,actually the wife, got a fine for attemting to fish at Struisbaai.

I had the same situation with MCM inspector in langebaan once.
I was teaching my 6yr old to cast. Just a sinker no hook casting into the water. I showed the inspector he was just practicing, and that I do have a valid permit laying in the car. He said it was ok then, no fine was issued.

Re: Do I need a fishing license?
R70 is not much to pay i think you can get one valid for a month is a bit cheaper would not chance it there.
get some prawns or chokka, sards as well might be some shad around size 2.0 or 1.0 hook will be fine remember the gost cotten.

Re: Do I need a fishing license?
I just got back from Umhlanga, didn't get a chance to fish but I am going to go again on the 5th to the 10th of next month. Thanks for all the advice. I will give you a shout before the time Chris.
