Petition against increased fishing permit fees

E-mail Print PDF
FISHERMEN could soon be paying nearly three times as much for a fishing permit if a proposed new fee structure by Marine and Coastal Management (MCM) is implemented.

Under the proposed new cost structure an angling permit will now cost R200, a 195 percent increase from the current permit price of R68.

In addition, a permit to remove rock lobster will cost R500 (489% increase), molluscs R300 (253%), mud crab R300 (253%), the use of a throw net R300 (253%) and an additional fee of R500 for each angling vessel (489%) payable only by the skipper.

PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION AND HELP PREVENT THE HIGH PRICE HIKE
 

Mudlark Riverfront Lodge News Feb 2010

E-mail Print PDF

logo-mudlark What a season we have had so far. It seems that it will not slow down until the middle of February. The Mudlark has been operating at almost full capacity since the middle of December, and it has proved to be one of our busiest seasons ever. The weather and the fish are still playing ball which may have something to do with it.

Since our last news letter we have barely had a day that we did not catch good fish, how long it can continue like this, who knows. I have had discussions with scientists who theorize that three years after a good (or bad) flood the numbers and size of fish will increase, but for how long I wonder.

Anglers angry over fees hike

E-mail Print PDF

Fishermen are furious about massive hikes of 200 percent to 400 percent for recreational angling fees and there are fears that the cost of supermarket and restaurant fish will also rise because of heftier levies on commercial fishing.

The cost of an annual recreational angling permit is set to rise from R69 to R200 from the beginning of May, along with crayfish permits (from R75 to R500) and spearfishing (from R75 to R300). Added to this, skippers of recreational fishing boats will have to pay an extra R500 a year.

Plans to charge an extra R30 "application fee" for recreational angling have also caused confusion.

proposed new fees for recreational anglers - Government gone mad?

E-mail Print PDF
recreation_hook

Below is the notice in the Government Gazette regarding the proposed new fees for recreational anglers. These ridicilious increases should be the laughing stock of all anglers as it clrearly shows the ineptitude of the authorities to correctly deal with a problem.

In stead of making sure that they can effectively police this matter they are now targeting the law abiding anglers who pay their license fees and abide by the laws. As one angler said: "The fines are quite possibly one of the reasons why the fees are going up so drastically........the fact that the authorities cannot catch people who break the law to give them a fine (which probably wouldn't get paid anyway) the authorities do the next best thing....penalise the law-abiding folks whom they know are always going to stay on the right side of the law and who pay their dues without having a mechanism to voice their discontent."

Newsflash

marine_dynamicsGreat White Shark Cage Dive for 2 people sponsored by Marine Dynamics in Gansbaai. This fantastic prize, valued at R2500, will be given to the best shark caught during the 25 Species Angling Competition. This does not mean it will be the biggest shark, or the shark worth the most points, but the most interesting shark landed by an angler in the competition.

A panel of judges made up by Stef, Cyn, Playon, Santiago and Shimano will decide the eventual winner. If any of the judges are in the running for a prize he or she will be replaced by another angler on the panel.
