jack Posted February 19, 2006 Report Posted February 19, 2006 Three questions for the PBSBAC oracle dept. 1. If I take my Zodiac and engine to France,Do I need anything to comply with French law,in order to fish from it. ? Licence.;Registration.: qualifications.Insurance.?etc 2. Is there a French equivilent to our National Rivers Licence ? 3.Does sea fishing in general require any licence or permits. Someone out there knows the answers..The French tourism office did'nt bother to answer my queeries.. Quote
TomBettle Posted February 19, 2006 Report Posted February 19, 2006 Jack You must take your ownreship docs including the original receipt that shows VAT was paid when it was new. Don't know about fishing licenses, but I imagin, knowing the froggies you will be "supposed" to have something. You are also "supposed" to have your ICC to use a boat in French waters and also there is a separate inland waterways ticket that I can't remember the name of that you should have for using the boat in French fresh water (not sure if there is such a thing as French "fresh" water).

blueboatdriver Posted February 19, 2006 Report Posted February 19, 2006 Jack, it may be worth mentioning that you're not going to wipe out their fish stocks going on past performance. Quote

Newboy Posted February 19, 2006 Report Posted February 19, 2006 To obtain an ICC you will need you power boat level 2 and Quote

Newboy Posted February 19, 2006 Report Posted February 19, 2006 Just spoke to Terry, skipper who took us to Fecamp last Sep, he says you don't need a licence to sea fish, as least not that he knows off . Not sure about inland water tho. Btw, Jack just how are you gonna get the Zodiac over the channel? You'll need lots of gas tanks..... Quote
JIMBOB Posted February 19, 2006 Report Posted February 19, 2006 If your going to fish the rivers theres all kinds of rules and regs..you need a licence that requires a photo,obtained at a local tackle shop and theres 101 by-laws depends on what part of france.you cant even night fish on most rivers.Lakes are less strict(private land). Sorry dont know about the sea fishing hope this helps James Quote
JIMBOB Posted February 19, 2006 Report Posted February 19, 2006 Ive got to add,The only fish left in france are carp and catfish they have eaten,trawled ,netted ,caught the rest!!!!!!! in the sea and the rivers,hence the by-laws to save whats left!!!! Quote
Newboy Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 2006 There are plenty congers left close to shore. They have no (very few) chartered fleet, so no one fish for them other than visiting anglers. Inshore they use long line or nets but they don't go anywhere near wreck incase they get stuck. Quote
jack Posted February 20, 2006 Author Report Posted February 20, 2006 From Bleuboatdriver..., it may be worth mentioning that you're not going to wipe out their fish stocks going on past performance. Swine..that hurt !![truth always does ] perhaps ,if required you would head the list of a guarantee from the whole club membership,to this effect,then I can take it with me. As for fuel in the Zodiac Adam,It seems to run on 90% fresh air at 16knts.Unlike someone elses world ozone destroyer,that I won't name...zoom zoom.. jack Quote
blueboatdriver Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 2006 Sorry Jack, couldn't resist it. Anyway I don't think I'd be worrying thier fish stocks too much at the moment; last three flounder trips and not one bite. Quote
