Day two saw big swells and a strong south-wester
and there were very few catches. Paul Marshall
was the star of the day with his 28.5kg King Mack-
erel - which also earned him 2nd place overall and
a Lowrance HOOK 9 unit!
as the latest HDS and Elite units. Anglers loved
our new Lowrance shirts and many were sold
at the event.
Saturday – the last day, was a cracker with great
weather and excellent catches. In the end, a mas-
sive Yellowfin Tuna of 40.9kg caught by Lourens
Viljoen, proved unbeatable! A fitting reward for
this former South Coast angler, who’d travelled all
the way from Sweden to join a team of friends
taking part.
Several juniors also excelled in the Tuna stakes,
including Owen Barclay with a Yellowfin of 19.5kg,
15-year-old Rorke Anderson’s fish of 20.6kg and
Greg Botha’s 23.8kg. Michael Joubert (also 15)
finally took Top Junior spot with a 26.2kg beauty.
John and Steph were there showing off the new
Carbon 16 which attracted huge attention, as well
