Hey guys, this comp just got underway today in Sodwana, I have a couple of mates fishing it so I'll do my best to provide updates as they come in. It's a 10kg Line class all-release tournament and can get pretty exciting.

Day 1 - all boats safely launched, no news yet of any hookups / releases

KZN team on board "Me Steph" lures are set and working the area:

Stripbaits, decent polarised sunnys and concentration are whats needed.............great fishing, not just your normal 'pulling plastic'!!

"Me Steph" belongs to Charles and Juley du Plessis (charlesdup on the forum) they are both Natal Provincial anglers

Reinhard's boat is "A Salt Weapon" Reinhardt has also fished this comp before as part of the Griquas team.

Day 1 - Close of scales - no sailfish caught and released by any boats in the fleet. Some marginal bycatch. Tomorrow looks like a blow out.

Day 3 - Ok so 6 sails were landed today, Natal got 2, Mpumalanga got 2, and then one each for Northern Transvaal and St Lucia (interclub team).

Team Natal with 2 T&R - one on a half-beak skip bait and the other on a lure with a strip.
