Friday 27th August The guys had up to 40’s a man snoek on Friday at the Groen Dam.
Saturday 28th August The Snoek Competition Was held on Saturday from the False Bay Yatch Club,
this was a great social comp, unfortunately the morning weather didn’t play
along but as the day progressed the weather turned to be lovely and calm one
at about 10:30AM, the snoek also played along as the day progressed, all the
Comp Boats sat in Buffles…… on anchor (if the anchor held) and caught a good
couple of snoek. I also fished the comp, and from about 10:30 onwards the
fish was biting really well, our Bait lines were between 10-12 fathoms.
(quite high up) And if you worked a Spinner or a Lead line fish was biting
on the Lead as well.
We had a lovely Prize Giving just before the Rugby, For the Biggest Snoek

Top Male: Jeff White 2nd Male: Ashley Stokes
Top Lady: Nina Daniels (ME) 2nd Lady: Emmie Derosh

Surf and Deep Magazine, Gift Vouchers for False Bay Tackle etc!!!!!!!! So we will keep you guys updated for all the Social Competitions from
False.Bay.Yatch.Club.
Sunday 29th August Bad weather not many of the guys went a few that did go only had up to 20’s

TWO PROTEA Teams will be hosting their Team Send offs and you are all invited to attend this function to wish them congratulations and best wishes
Competing internationally:-
SADSAA and the Teams request as many interested anglers attend this function as we have many new Protea caps that need to be commended on their achievement that evening.
At the SADSAA AGM on the 21st August 2010, I proposed that new record categories for Ladies and Junior anglers be created for the All Africa Line Class listings. This was accepted and will be enforced as of the 1st January 2011.
These records will be for any angler, whether affiliated to SADSAA or not, catching a record for the relative specie from a boat anywhere in Africa and the surrounding Islands, while conforming to IGFA and SADSAA angling rules and regulations.
A Junior shall be classed as a junior while he or she is under the age of 18 years, i.e. must not have turned 18 years of age on the date on which the catch is made.
The present records will remain the same and new sections will be created, i.e. Ladies and Juniors who have previous records will not gain automatic entry to the new listings.
The current application forms and the US$10.00 fee will apply as per the previous applications.
Tight lines to all our true anglers,
