2017 Sailfish Interclub & Interprovincial

To all the members please.

Herewith please find the invitation for this years Sailfish Inter Club and Inter provincial. It will again be held at Sodwana and in my view is a competition well worth nominating for at both club and provincial level.

It is one of the club sponsored events, however this email pertains specifically to provincial nominations.

Please note the deadline for submission and remember that all provincial, SADSAA and Protea nominations MUST BE SENT TO THE CLUB FIRST, from there it will be sent to Lyn and the SGDSAA selection committee.

Lets get nominating guys and show that Nomads is a bill fish force in the zone.

Best regards
Mark

Marine Recreational brochure

Recreational Fishing Brochure

Published by Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.

This pamphlet summarizes the regulations that apply to recreational fishing in South Africa’s marine and estuarine environments. The information provided here is not complete and may change from time to time. For full details of the Marine Living Resources Act (Act No. 18 of 1998) and regulations promulgated thereunder, contact your local fishery control officer. In terms of the Marine Living Resources Act (Act 18 of 1998), the Department of Environmental Affairs is responsible for the management of marine living resources and their environment. Part of this function is delegated to provincial authorities and statutory bodies. Special regulations may govern some estuaries and river mouths, National Parks, and the Greater St. Lucia Wetland Park. These can be obtained from the Chief Directorate Environmental Management, Western Cape Nature Conservation Board, Eastern Cape Department of Economic Affairs, Environment and Tourism, Ezemvelo KwaZulu-Natal Wildlife, South African National Parks, and iSimangaliso Wetland Park (Greater St Lucia Wetland Park) as the case may be.

In terms of the abovementioned Act, each recreational fisher and certain other user groups must pay for the right to use marine resources by buying a recreational permit/fishing permit. These funds will be used for research, compliance and management.

The natural marine living resources of South Africa, as well as the marine environment, are national assets and the heritage of our people. Help us to look after our marine resources.

2017 Rosebowl update

The Isimangaliso limit of 35 boats onto the Sodwana beach is real. There are already 34 boats that have submitted entries to the Rosebowl, however only 16 or so have paid of which 5 are Nomads boats. Makaira will only take the first 35 paid up boats so I cannot emphasise enough that if you are planning to fish, get your entry and at least 2 crew payments in ASAP.

Paid to date: Watermark, Shaya lo Manzi, Bulldog, Gaffer Dog, AquaBLIS
Still to pay: Boertjie, Nauti Boy, Bob Marlin
Possibles: My Dream, Tequila Sheila, Tjaila Tyd, Beach Boys

Lets make it happen!
