LOWRANCE SOUTH AFRICA Issue 15 | Page 10

Congratulations to Ryan Driemeyer, (see cover pic) winner of this year’s Durban Skiboat Festival, with a Couta of 26,9kg – caught off a Lowrance- equipped boat!! He hooked the Big Prize a Yamaha-powered SeaCat skiboat on trailer, Lowrance Link 6 VHF radio and antenna, One Year insurance from Club Marine, and other prizes - totalling R425 000. It was a nerve wracking wait for him until the big announcement - as Ryan caught this fish at 9am on the first day, around the Umdloti River mouth. He made full use of the Lowrance HDS 7 unit fitted on his brother (and skipper) Justin’s Benguela boat - “All In” - to find this winner! He had every reason to be anxious as there were 693 anglers (on 237 boats) fishing to overtake him, but in the end it was Ryan’s day and he went home a very happy man!
