Hibiscus Gamefish Open

Hi everyone,

This is just a reminder about the annual Hibiscus Gamefish Open which is set for this weekend, on Saturday 14th June. This is going to be a excellent comp with all the good fish that have been about. I have heard reports of good catches of Wahoo, Sailfish and even some Kingfish and Cuta. The odd Garrick has also been sighted which bodes well for those that are doing a shore dive.

The area is open from the Tugela River Mouth in the north to Port Edward in the south. This is a big area and remember that the cut off for weigh-in is at 3pm sharp. No fish will be accepted into the weigh-in area after this time. The cash prizes are as follows:

Biggest gamefish: R4000
Second biggest gamefish: R1500
Third biggest gamefish: R500

Note that the above prizes will also include spearfishing gear. There will also be prizes for the biggest crayfish, the biggest bottom(minimum 3kg) and more... There will also be a lucky draw that includes 2 holidays worth +-R3500 each and some smaller prizes for R20 a ticket...

Your R200 entry includes the following:

A braai pack with salads, rolls, etc at the venue after the weigh-inn.
A T-shirt with graphics designed by the legendary Darryl Hattingh.
1 free entry into the lucky draw.

So if you havent entered yet, please go to www.hibiscusunderwaterclub.co.za and get an entry form from the downloads section and follow the instructions on it... Otherwise phone Carl at 084-5769018 or Daan at 082-4130746 to enter...

Cheers
