What went down at the Competition !

I t is that time of year again for the prestige angling event , the Sundays River Classic to take place . This event will be hosted by the Sundays River Angling Club which is based about 45km ’ s east of Port Elizabeth and sits just off the banks of the beautiful estuary of the Sundays River . The Club is one of the oldest Light Tackle Boat Angling Clubs in the Eastern Cape , clocking 82 years old this year .

The format of our competitions had to be changed over the past years to become more in line with protecting our marine environment , as well as educating our anglers . We had to start implementing a catch , measure and release system on all our competitions . Since we changed the format for the better of both the angler and the environment , we launched our prestige angling event called the Sundays River Classic .
This angling event will be running its 6th year in February 2017 and has only grown year by year . The competition started off with a merely 84 anglers participating and has now grown to 423 anglers participating in our last event in 2016 . This was recorded as the biggest one day light tackle estuary competition in South Africa .
