PA trumps Alex on their playing field
Alittle history lesson: Port Alfred has fished against Alexandria Angling club since 1988 and Port Alfred has won this competition 19 times, Alex has won 11 times, with only one draw in the past 31 years. Port Alfred Rock & Surf did it again this year making it a cool 20 wins.
A big thank you to the Alexandria Angling Club for their hospitality and great cameraderie after the fishing and for hosting Port Alfred Rock & Surf afterwards at the prize giving.
Lines in was 6am, challenges were issued and everyone had a great time - from walking miles to look for the fish, to finding the odd one, hooking it and releasing it safely to swim another day.
Although the water was icy cold we landed blacktail, white steenbras, dusky cob, black musslecracker, spotted grunter, elf shad, and a massive quantity of brown shy sharks and spotted gully sharks. At 2pm it was lines up and meet and greet at the Alexandria club, where weighin started and the weight of the different fish was calculated. The result was Port Alfred got 16.2kg of fish and Alexandria got 8.2kg.
Thirteen Port Alfred members and 18 Alex members had battled the conditions and Port Alfred Rock & Surf walked away the winners. Well done to all. The chairman Gary du Randt received the shield from Francois Kruger of Alexandria Angling Club. Kind words were said and then things got busy.
