95 fish caught at Kasouga contest
The fourth round of the Pick n Pay Claude Pittaway Round Robin tournament took place on November 25 at Kasouga.
The predicted rain stayed away and although it was misty and overcast, there was a good turn out.
This saw some good catches with 11 different species of fish were caught, totalling 95 fish with a weight of only 110.95kg.
All fish must be released after being caught.
Attendance was average with 64% and due to some precipitation after fishing a number of anglers stayed afterwards for the prize-giving, handled by committee member and weigh master Russell Warren went off without a hitch.
Twelve teams of four anglers each make up the round robin competition, with a few individual anglers, even though not all the teams fished.
