Fishing

Do I need permits to go fishing? I asked around my friends and coworkers about fishing. Some said we require permits and some said we don’t have to. I am confused. Where should I go to ask these kind of things? I was thinking of going to our nearest city hall to ask there but maybe some of you guys have an idea?

  1. The threads provided are good and still relevant. Ocean you do not need a permit but there are certain shellfish, crustaceans, etc. you are not allowed to catch (mostly ones you would need traps or snorkeling/diving gear to get). Rivers and lakes it depends. Some are run by a local community collective that will sell permits, some are open to everyone. It is best to go to a tackle shop close to where you would like to fish and ask, they would know.

  2. Just don’t get caught if your scavenging👍🏽

    Don’t jump the fence either to get to the best places 🤣 if you do, just have all your stuff packed and run like hell

  3. Maybe I can hijack, but also relevant – the ocean is free, but does that include jetties and around ports? I’ve never been entirely sure.
