UPCOMING EVENTS The 2019 Couta Fishing Festival is fast approaching. Usually known as the Durban Skiboat Festival, this year the competition will be called the BUNDU BESTER MEMORIAL FESTIVAL - in memory of Bundu Bester who died last month. Every sponsor and angler who’s taken part in this event over the last decade and even longer, will remember the familiar sight of “Bundu” overseeing the weigh-in. This year’s competition is being held over the Easter Weekend and apart from the fishing, one of the main focuses will be entertainment - from Friday 19th through to Monday 22nd April. There will be a lot for children and adults to enjoy—-surf ski races in the harbour entrance, helicopter rescues by the NSRI, cooking demos, jungle gyms etc. Although the competition days are Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st, Monday 22nd has been set aside as a fishing day in the event a blow out on either of the two other days.
