Anglers weighed in with good sized Cape Stumpnose, Kob and Spotted Grunter at this month’s hit Kowie River Fishing competition.

The event, hosted by the Port Alfred River and Ski Boat Club,has been running for three years. Chairman of the club, Bruce Gie, says this month’s competition was a success with twenty anglers participating, including a few new faces from Rhodes University Flyfishing Club and the surrounding areas.

Gie urges people to enter, “My challenge to all of you is to get as many people as Fabulous fishing in full force possible to take place in next month’s competition.

Let’s aim to make it the biggest Port Alfred River Competition so far.” The competition series was started by a group of fishermen who enjoyed fishing together every month.

The series will take place each year and will consist of twelve monthly competitions, with prizes to be won for the heaviest fish and bag, as well as lucky draw prizes.

Gie hopes to attract more ladies and juniors to take part in the competition. The competition extends throughout the year, and prizes will be awarded to consistent competitors for the heaviest total bags (kilograms) throughout the series.

Thus far Gie is heading the race with a total of 18.6 kilograms. Results for the weekend competition are as follows: Heaviest Kob: Dave Drennan – 7.9kg. Heaviest Grunter: Wayne Barnard – 2.6kg 2nd Heaviest  Grunter: Patrick du Preez – 1.8kg Heaviest Stumpnose: Leo du Preez – 0.6kg Heaviest bag: Bruce Gie – 3.6kg
2nd heaviest bag: Mark Burgess – 2.2kg There are seven competitions still to be held this year with the next one happening on 5 June 2010.

Entrance is R50 and includes a breakfast. Gie welcomes everyone to the event, “Wives, husbands and friends are always welcome to join in at the prize giving and breakfast for and extra R25 per person.” Entries can be made at Sunny Sport in Port Alfred or contact them at 046 624  1683.

Dates for upcoming competitions are 3 July, 7 August, 4 September, 2 October, 6 November and 11  ecember.  Bruce Gie can be contacted regarding any questions at 082 809 3392 or emailed at bruce@aerosat.co.za.
