Fishing

By texpaul

We are planning for fishing, in the coming weekends, for food and to enjoy doing it. We wish to build an 8-foot skiff enough to carry 120kgs of load and 300-m longline kit plus crab traps. We will make it sure we’ll be maximum 1.0meter deep whatever the tide is. We would like to know the following;
a) Is this allowed here?
b) Do we need a permit?
b) Where to find the concerned authority and what are the requirements.

Wish someone could help us on this inquiry. It is the only hobby we know how to forget the pressures of work.
Thank you.
