His first encounter with a Lowrance unit actually took place during a bass fishing tournament at Albert Falls Dam. “I was amazed at the difference it made and from then on I really enjoyed my five-year s nt in Bassing.” Then a friend lent him a Kayak to go fishing offshore…and he was hooked! “I caught a 24kg Couta that day and mistakenly thought game fishing was easy!” he said. “I soon realised that my trusty Lowrance unit would become my best friend out at sea as well!” Roscoe loves the challenge of catching big fish from a small cra in the big ocean. “There's something thrilling about it - nothing comes close in excitement and that feeling of being rewarded, when you land a big one. Having my Hook 4 unit on board helps me find the holes and iden fy the gamefish easily. All that's le to do is to catch them.” The biggest fish he's caught is off his Kayak is a Tuna of just under 30kg – and he doesn't count the many huge sharks! Roscoe also owns an inflatable which he uses when he takes his two daughters (aged 10 and six) fishing. At the moment he transfers his unit from the Kayak to his boat – but it won't be long before he buys his second Hook 4. “It's such a brilliant unit – I don't need anything else. I have complete confidence in the quality of Lowrance products and the back-up service offered by Liz and her team is second to none. I trust my Lowrance electronics fully. Whether I'm sounding for bait or looking for game fish, I have found no other brand which offers the equivalent in display quality, price affordability, ease-of-use and all-round toughness. That's why I choose Lowrance.” Contact: Roscoe Rautenbach - 083 456 5395. 10 lowrance south south africa africa lowrance 33
