Sooo, fished the harbour on Saturday night, and had a visit from the police. We try and do the right thing, so all paperwork was in order. After that, life jackets checked, in order. Fire extinguishers, in order. To cut a long story short, EVERYTHING was checked, including spare spark plugs. Eventually turned out, 3 of our flares was 10 days past expiry. After being told they don't have the charge book on them, we were instructed to follow them to the naval base. There they didn't know what to charge us with. The whole process took around 3 hours. Eventually left with a R500 fine. since then have heard that flares are not needed on the harbour with a cat r licence. Anyone know if this is true?
