Marco so the linefishing fro a boat monthly is around R80 am I correct? any idea what the procedure is launching and paying in ponta these days?

Yes R80...
The whole thing is more organized and strict these days... the rangers WILL check your boat for licenses and catches on the beach... make sure YOU DO NOT launch without your licenses... not sure how much is the launching fee these days... will find out and post it here...

Go to the Maritimo office with your paper work (skippers and seaworthy, etc.), pay your launching fees and get fishing licenses for each angler on board (these are individual licenses)... that's all...

Greg,

The launching fee is 600 Mts (~R120.00) and it's valid up 1 month or equivalent to the temporary import permit of your boat/vehicle...

Hi John

Are there similar regulations for R&S fishing in Moz?
Title: Re: Moz sport & Recreational fishing licenses fees
Post by: nico on November 12, 2010, 09:11:43 AM
As far as I understand, no license needed for R&S.

Nico's right... no need to get a license for R&S...

Heard about some MPAs trying to implement a licensing system for R&S...

Will try to dig more...
