He left the show two years ago,
to concentrate on freshwater Carp
fishing – and to get as many people
as possible involved and enjoying
the sport.
He says that one of the biggest
challenges for a Carp angler is that
“what you think you see, is not what
you get!” Many anglers think they
know where the fish are hiding but
they don’t realise that these elusive
fish use drop-off’s as channels – and
this can only be seen on a fishfinder/
GPS unit.
Andre says John from Lowrance SA
helped him choose the right unit for
the job – a Hook 4X GPS - and gave
him the necessary training. “This is
perfect unit for the general public,
especially aspiring Carp anglers,
it’s very affordable and can be used
effectively to catch fish! It’s all about
the fishing and everyone should be
able to do it to the max - without cost
being a stumbling block.”
“This value-for-money unit is great for
finding structure and drop-off’s and
on top of it you can plot the area with
waypoints, as a reminder of where the
Carp’s favourite areas are.” He said.
While in Russia, Artlure fishing last year,
Andre was again challenged to catch all
the required species and he says “you
have to understand the ecosystems
applicable to each one. My Lowrance
unit proved invaluable in this regard.”
When it comes to Lowrance – Andre
is completely sold out on the product.
“This is the best brand, at the best price,
for the best fishing possible! The service
and backup from John and the rest of
the team is outstanding. For me there’s
nothing better than Lowrance, they are
phenomenal units and the only brand I
trust.”
Of course, the proof is in the pudding and he added, “I recently went fishing in
Lesotho and even when my unit got frozen solid, it still worked!”
Not to mention his 15,5kg Carp caught
at Hartebeespoort Dam last week…the
fishing goes on…with Lowrance!!
