BASS ANGLING
SABAA SENIOR NATIONALS
Congratulations to Western Province angler John
Rhodes, for winning the 2018 SABAA Senior Nationals
on the Vaal River – he earned 27.82 points over the
three-day event.
Mpumalanga’s Justin Karan was a close second with
27.41 points and hot on his heels in third place was
Charlton Hewitt (Free State) with 27.39 points.
It was a tough competition and as always, anglers
needed to get their five fish a day, to be in the
running.
The last day presented 45km an hour winds with rain, hail and lightening… just to shake
things up a bit.
The 68 anglers participating caught and released a total of 791 fish.
During the prize-giving, it was announced that
the following anglers have been nominated to
represent South Africa at the 2019 World Bass
Championships, to be held on the Vaal River in
February:
Justy Varkevisser, Craig Fraser, Darryl Quinton,
Ruan Wahl, Martin de Kock, Charlton Hewitt, and
Kevin Naidoo (Reserve).
Justy and Darryl were not in attendance at the
prize-giving due to preparations for this year’s
World Championships in Mexico. Well done guys!
We know you will make us proud.
Congratulations to the
following anglers for their
nomination for the 2019
Presidents Team.
