Top 20 challenge in South Africa Your Invited

[shaunreid]

Hi Guys We have a competition in Feb next year where the top 20 Kayak Anglers in South Africa go to battle it out for the number 1 spot in Mozambique - Why don't 3 or 4 of you guys come out to join? Us the Accommodation and food is free all you need to do is get there? I'm sure the Local boys would love to have a little friendly international, I have also Asked some guys from USA to join us. The Kayaks will also be organized and ready for you? Give it some thought and let me know - if you want you can email me on shaun@fishingcorner.co.za (Im looking for 4 guys from AUS and 4 from NZ that have some experience)

The fishing challenge sounds great, it's the getting out through the surf challenge that looks a little unsettling.

[gcfisho]

Thats a pretty good offer !

[kas]

That's a tempting offer Shaun, sure getting there would be hard & getting out through the surf even harder but holding onto one of those monster GT's or sailys would be a true test............
I am in!

[dru]

Hmmm. Tell me, there are no bream in Mozambique are there?

[shaunreid]

No Brim - It is a Pelagic only comp. The kayaks we use are the same ones you saw in the vid i posted they are designed to handle surf and punch waves easily. The Surf isn't always huge we generally post vids of big surf because it is fun to watch. The spot in Mozambique is easy to launch in as it is a sheltered bay. On arrival we will pick up the internationals and travel up to Mozambique (5 hour drive from Durban South Africa) where we will spend 3 days teaching all about the fish, how to catch and target them so that when the competition starts you will be prepared enough to compeat. I will confirm Dates By the End of next month which gives plenty of time to think about it, I will only be able to accommodate 4 From AUS and 4 From NZ so please let me know if you are interested and I will pencil you in. We are looking at broadcasting the event on Television here locally is there anyone who you think would be interested in Broadcasting the show there?

What a great offer!

[AJD]

mmmm tempted. VERY tempted. I might just give myself a 40th b'day present and head on over.

[indiedog]

AJD, just checked and it's $1700 to $2000 return to Jburg. Hmmmmm.

Shaun where in Mozambique is the comp?

[shaunreid]

Is that a lot?

[patwah]

Is that a lot?

Not really, its a decent price for an OS trip

[dru]

Is that a lot?

Nope, not really for the fish trip of a life time. But you can get a decent second hand yak for $Aus 1000. I'm putting this in the yearly schedule, dont think I can make it, but MAN what a temptation. Of course if you want the top yakkers in Aus, I must defer.

No bream. A pelagic yakking comp. Jezus, how do I sell this to SWMBO?

[azzaroo]

we gotta chuck in and get that lucky bastard dan [spooled] on a flight....i'm serious... how many members have we got ? i'd gladly throw a tenner or two to see the action and read the report..a must for trans atlantic[or whatever ocean it is] relations

mods how about twisting some sponsers arms... i'm sure it would make a serious feature article for yak fisher..
