We quickly put a decent limit
together in the morning with the
jerkbait and then proceeded to
move offshore looking for the fish I
located from the previous week.
I targeted these offshore fish with
a dropshot. We scanned over areas
with the finders and managed
to pick off a couple keepers but
nothing that would improve our
bag weight. The sun was now
high and this generally positions
some of the better fish under the
hyacinth patches. I proceeded to
fish a technique I have had lots of
success at Inanda: the punch rig
(Texas rigging a strikeking rage bug
with a 1/1/4 oz tungsten sinker).
I would punch this rig through some
of the heaviest cover and managed to
upgrade with a couple better fish. The
afternoon wind then picked up and we
immediately started throwing Zman
Slingbladez spinnerbaits and started
covering points and managed to secure
the win with a 2.8 kg slab hammer of a
bass anchoring our 6.8kg bag.
I am very thankful to all my sponsors.
Lowrance South Africa , Fishtec charts
and Thornveld angling for keeping me
well equipped and tournament ready.
Its always special to share a day out
on the water with my father and even
more special when we secure a win.
We can’t wait to get back out on the
water and fish the next event.”
