BIG GAME TROLLING CHAMPIONSHIP - SODWANA (February 11th– Friday 15th 2019). What excitement! For many of the deepsea competitors this was their first visit to South Africa, and their first experience of our challenging coastline and changing conditions at Sodwana! Whatever their experience, each and every angler proudly brought their best game to the occasion. There were 75 competing anglers from 15 countries- they were divided into three-person teams and some countries had two teams. They went out on 25 local boats- which were hand-picked by SADSAA because they are some of the best skiboats in the country and they are operated by some of the most experienced skippers. Each boat had one skipper and one deck-hand.
