The event is notorious for poor catches as is often the case with daytime summer fishing and unfortunately this year was no exception.
In fact, no one could return with a sizeable catch. K. Morris landed two small bass from Bishopstone point and S. Stephenson also had one of 30cm.
B. Morris came close with a 1lbs 8oz bass from the same mark as well but the fish only measured just over 40cm, the minimum size being 42.
T. Morris was sick as a parrot however as he reportedly lost a bass around the 4-5lbs mark at his feet whilst fishing the Rand. He watched helplessly as the fish simply “let go and swam away”.
B. Morris with almost big enough winning fish.
