Inanda Bass Club - Club Comp 11 March 2012

Albert Falls Mar 12
Inanda Bass Club had its compo on Sunday and the weatherman said rain… well the rain did eventually arrive but that was after we were on our way home… beautiful weather and the clouds took some time to get thick enough to cool things down so sunscreen, long sleeves, big hat and lots of water was the order of the day…



35 Anglers turned up for the compo and it was 3 fish each before 11:00 and then 3 fish each after 11:00. Louis and I rushed off to the shallows because that’s where the fish were for the BETT despite the heat that day… we managed one fish each on frog and the bite disappeared. I managed another keeper just before the first weigh-in… the fish was really tough once again…

After the break we headed off to the spots we found on the Ridge pre-fishing for BETT and slowly we managed a reasonable 3 fish bag each before the 3pm weigh-in… All our fish bar the two frog fish of the morning were caught on Kriet Tailed worms… we threw everything else as well but with no effect…


All my reels are now spooled with Seaguar AbrazX Fluorocarbon and I can’t wait for a really big fish to test it because it has been performing really well (12lb) with durability and no line snaps… the Palomar knot is ideal for the 12lb.


After the compo there was a braai compliments of the club but unfortunately we had prior engagements so couldn’t stay… just as well because my boats carpets were scrubbed and clean and the boat was cleaner than the day I got it and the rain came down in buckets in Hillcrest just after 4pm and thankfully the boat was safely tucked in bed in her Man Cave!
