Hi All, i do recreational diving of the coast around Simon's Town area (close to Cape Point). We are in Crayfish season and i'm keen to learn about some spots, on the Atlantic side, where some of the beauties can be caught.
My main query is around where the marine protection zone ends/starts at Boulders. I have had some pretty confusing answers from the relevant authorities. My fishing lisence indicates that it starts at the eastern side of Simonstown harbour and ends at Oaklands. No one to date can clearly point out where exactly this Oaklands is - and in the meantime fishing and harvesting of other sealife continues, with marine protection services arresting some offenders, while others are fined/ warned. Due to a lack of signs most people do not know that they are offending either.
Anyone with some idea where the Oaklands beacon is?
