LOWRANCE SOUTH AFRICA Issue 8 | Page 25

it was not long before he started the popular Kayak Fishing EC Club – which now boasts 120 members who fish every week. “The different features give me a much clearer view and understanding of what’s on the bottom, the reefs and the type of fish hanging out there. “Here in the Eastern Cape, conditions are so different and it’s a different type of fishing. We don’t just use our units to troll for bait – we make use of every feature to maximise our chances of good catches – and Lowrance has certainly played a huge role in the success of my fishing!” Brett’s latest addition to his equipment is a fully-equipped Yamaha FX160 jetski - which includes a new Lowrance HDS-7 Gen 3 unit – mainly because he does a lot of fishing in the Transkei. Many of them are turning to Lowrance to help them find fish and Brett, as the new Lowrance “go to” person in the area, makes sure they get the right unit to suit their needs. Once a client buys a unit, Brett helps with installations, settings, technical tips and advice – to maximise their enjoyment and focus on their fishing! He said, “The beauty of Lowrance products is there’s something for everyone – whether you’re a kayak, jetski or skiboat angler. They’re easy-to-use, technically far superior and the service from the Lowrance SA team is phenomenal. (John Minnie, our Technical Manager, is available online or on Whats App 083 443 6738 – for troubleshooting, tips and advice!) “The sharks there are a real issue and when conditions are not good, it’s better to be on a jetski – one feels a lot safer. It’s also easier and quicker to get to where you want to go.” He’s not giving up on the Kayak fishing and he’s still passionate about it. He enjoys the good workout it gives – and of course, all while he’s in the place he loves best – outdoors and on the water! And to pack in even more…. Brett and his amazing wife, Lorraine have a monthly free online and printed magazine; Fishing EC, which focuses on all aspects of fishing and is all inclusive of the entire Eastern Cape and also features a Lowrance tip each month. Welcome on board Brett! For more information call: Brett Armstrong: 071 883 2633. As a Tuna-mad angler whose “life is built around it”, Brett paddles great distances and does a lot of bottom fishing – relying on his Elite 5 Ti unit coupled with a Navionics card “which is amazing and gives me everything I need.” 10 lowrance lowrance south south africa africa 25
