The 41st annual GMC deepsea competition was held in June , with teams taking part from clubs in KwaZulu Natal right through to Cape Town .
Our dealer , Brendan Oostingh of Bucks Marine says , “ Day one was a blow out due to a 35 - 40 knot South Westerly , but we managed to fish on the Sunday and on Monday , our reserve day – though also in quite bad conditions . Fishing was very hard for most of our guys , with a lot less fish coming to the scales than in our past competitions . The top three teams were East London Ski Boat Club 1st , Gonubie Marine Club 2nd and Natal Rod and Reel in 3rd place .”
The heaviest fish was a Copper Steenbras of 20kg caught by Claude Wilkins from East London . Top angler was Syngin Herbert who caught five species on the first day !”
