- As of October 2023 you can now get your South African recreational fishing permit from www.dffe.gov.za as well as from the Post Office.The benefit is that you can now get your fishing licence at any time, day or night, pay with your credit card and conveniently get a PDF copy of your permit.
An old Errie being helpful. :-) Thank you very much, no more running around trying to get a license before a trip. Happy fishing and hope to see you on the beach someday!
I did mine recently online, was no problem, R175 for basic sea angling licence including bait collecting permit, excluding muscles collection.
You all fish with permits?
I usually just use a fishing rod, some line, a hook, sinker, bait and a floater....
Brilliant
Many of the spots around the Cape coast have dedicated officers patroling, checking licences etc.
@@christophervanheerden6499 don't get caught without permit
Thanks, followed your instructions, permit received immediately, much obliged 😊
Keep a hard copy just in case u are offline when asked by fishories or the Parks Board, or save a copy that u can retrive if u are offline.
I learned the hard way fishing in the Western Cape. Came right eventually.
Oh, I forgot the authorities can not check if you are offline if u have a licence.
I don't know why the tackle shops can't sell them. Can get freshwater permits by them just not saltwater.
It is super easy, I kinda prefer the online one, I can call it up and reprint it at any time, should I forget the one from home.
This is helpful, looking forward to getting mine
Hi Etienne just watched your permit video and saw you have an exage reel I have a never before used spool 5000 size if you want just laying around
Unable to reach the payment site.
What a bummer
Why would i go to such lenghts to finance a c#rr#pt goverment
@@andreochse9663 tell that to the magistrate when they catch you
Hi how do you select the fishing province or does the permit allow fishing in all provinces Cape and Durban?
Hi Sir how do I go about applying for a harbour permit on NORTH PIER DURBAN problem I have my LEFT leg amputated above my knee and all my toes removed on my RIGHT leg and I am confine to a WHEELCHAIR
I didn’t even know that it was still possible to get a fishing license. Is this a marine as opposed to fresh water license?
As we have no post office nearby I tried this option only to find that it needs a credit card. I don't have a credit card and I wonder why the department has decided not to use payment gateways for debit cards.
I used a debit card. As long as your bank debit card has Visa or Mastercard support and you have enough funds in your account then it will work. All SA banks dbit card use Visa or master.
What Post Office????? 😆
Thanks..very helpful
Thank you so much.
Is this for inland river and dam fishing?
I haven't got axses to a computer so it wont work for everyone
Does one have to keep a physical copy (printed) on them when fishing or will an Electronic copy be suitable?
@@shrimpshrew8981 uneducated parkies will arrest you they want see permit on you
@@shrimpshrew8981 they take u to prison first check if u got permit if yes then take you back to beach
Keep a hard copy just in case u are offline.
can i pay with debit card? anyway thanks for infomation
Doesn't allow on website to register or login for that matter,on your video next to country flag it says login or register ,but nothing in mine .Went to different websites????
Hi Etienne, is this for sea fishing or fresh water fishing?
Lol yes the post office it faster but 😢 the fish is mostly by the Marine protector areas fishing in PE is a skarrel 😮
I tried this 3 times it shoots error 555 everytime I ended up going to the post office.
What is the fine for fishing without a permit? Just asking for a friend......
How much do these permits start at?
Can one apply from another country before going on vacation to SA
Whatever happened to Reuben Papenfus? He was a prominent S.A. Fisherman - I worked with him in the late 19880's Is he still alive?
Dude if you worked with him in19880, don't think you should be alive🤣🤣🤣
At what age do u need a fishing license
You don't need a permit, just say you are a subsistence fisherman and you identify as a black man, then you can take as much bait items and undersized fish as your heart desires. I say this with sadness as this is what happens
Yep. Scuba diving is illegal in the Gansbaai areas. Except for poachers. Where photographic evidance has emerged where Cape nature vehicles was used to aid poachers. If you legally drive above the high water mark near Pearly Beach, Cape Nature will send ten brand new bakkies to give you a fine. But no poachers have ever been fined. If you drive your off-road bike through a unloved nature area, Cape Nature will get a fit. But it is ok for squatters to hunt, dump rubble, burn, or grace their cattle in the same areas. The commercial fishermen in the Noordhoek area has decimated crayfish because of bribing officials so they can get away with double quotas. So these corrupt official are now allowing them to decimate crayfish in the Betties Bay area. And their solution is to shrink the quotas for tax-paying sport fishermen.

Hi Sir i used my debit Card details where u put payment details and they took the money but didn't receive any permit 😭😭😭😭😭 what do i do??? Please help
Nice to have a permit, but would be better if the authorities know what it is.
@@chrisgovender6922 had 2mullets they wrote in book it's shad
Tnx
Tnx a lot
How long does it take for the permit email to come through?
Once completed you can download your permit immediately from the dashboard. That is the easiest.
It must be free to fish this world does not belong to any one but God. Fishing with rod is hobby not for money but food for table in limited amout so yes scrap it
Not everyone has a credit card or computer or laptop what of those living in poverty in rural areas near the sea and unemployed fishermen struggling to feed their families
or those just living in town.....
As a black south African I'm shocked that this license even exists here 😅😅😅
WTF? What's that?
Why do you need a fishing license in South Africa,all the human fiesies gets pump in to the river's.I will never go fishing again,even if you invite me,no thank you!
Just go to the post office lol
Good luck with that. If you can find a post office that's still operating, they will probably have run out of the permit forms 😅
@@AlexBondSmith lmao very true
