Zululand hosted their annual meet this past weekend, delivering some truly memorable catches. One standout was this impressive GT, hooked by Andre Coetser on a scratching trace, a proper surprise and a great fish!
Well done to Andre, and to everyone who took part 👏🏻

Flashback to last season
Chris Visagie from our Richards Bay branch picked up this beautiful garrick while spinning for snoek. A good reminder that being prepared makes all the difference.

New season’s underway, hope you’re ready.

This is what it looks like when your son starts fishing more than you do…

It seems like this morning Dad had to make sure the bread and butter is going to be on the table while Finn made sure that there was going to be fish…😂

Well done Finn! Very nice fish. Sounds like the Basils Walla did the trick…

While Etienne has been enjoying some fly around other parts of the country, nothing beats the unique joy of a Natal Yellowfish (Scaly). As the name suggests, KZN is the place to be for these golden fighters!

Well done, Ets! That is a proper scaly. 🎣
