Cape Royale Marina Fishing Rules

Febrary, 2010

Last year the POA Board voted new rules related to fishing on the marina piers.

Boat slip renters have priority of access to the marina piers. Although we have many fisherman who enjoy our marina piers, some fisherman have created a nuisance and safety issue by "camping out" on the piers and impeding access of slip renters. As a result, the POA Board voted to restrict lawn chairs, ice chests, food, drink, multiple fishing poles, etc. from the marina piers that would impede the free access of slip renters to their vessels or generally create a nuisance.

We ask that all fisherman be respectful of slip renters and "give right-of-way" when they are on the piers. We ask that fisherman remove trash, fish baskets/stringers, minnow buckets, etc. when they leave the piers. We also ask that fisherman help minimize traffic, by keeping their non-fishing guests (children and grown-ups alike) off the piers.

Fisherman may continue to enjoy their lawn chairs, ice-chests, and the like around the banks of the marina.

It is our desire that all property owners, slip renters, and guests enjoy our marina facilities. If you see anyone who is causing a nuisance, please report the situation to our marina attendant.
