This past weekend we hosted our annual Interclub competition and once again it was a great success.

The weather played ball on the Friday night which allowed us to get the teams out for a “night shot” which is always great. After an early launch on Saturday morning the teams were unfortunately called back due to some horrible weather conditions at 11:45 am.

As usual we saw some great catches in this 10 kg line class bottom fish competition with several Kob over 10 Kilos and 4 Black Musselcracker over 10 kilos, including a great fish of 19.58 Kilos by a Junior, 15 year old Keagyn Mocke.

What was particularly special this year was that we had a large number of ladies competing and a large number of juniors competing, we hope to see the numbers grow even more in future.

With a number of junior’s competing it was great to see a team of team of youngsters take first place overall, with Adam Bester, Keagyn Mocke and Clayton Robertse from Park Rynie winning the 2026 Rod and Reel Interclub. Keagyn was also the Top Angler, Top Junior and caught the most species for the weekend.

This past weekend we hosted our annual interclub competition. Fishing kicked off at 2 pm on Friday with scales closing at 11 pm giving the anglers a good amount of time to fish in the dark. Fishing on Saturday started at 10 am with scales closing at 9 pm however the second day was called off early at 6:35 pm due to a very strong south westerly wind. The fishing was tough all round however we did see some great catches including a few Dusky Kob over 20 Kgs on 10 Kg line. There are also 2 pending records amongst the catches. Thank you to all the clubs and teams who came to take part in our interclub and a big thank you to the skippers who got everyone out and back safely in the dark. A big thank you must also go to the Commitee of the Rod and Reel Club and the ground crew who worked incredibly hard to make sure the competition was a success. A massive thank you also goes out to our very generous sponsors, we thank you for your contributions and understand that these events would not be possible without them.

Congratulations to Umhlanga Ski Boat Club for winning this years interclub with over 400 points separating them from second place.

Byron Kane from Umhlanga was the Top Angler and shared the prize for most species with Martin van der Vyver from the Gonubie White team each catching 4 species individually.

Top Junior went to Keagyn Mocke who was fishing his first competition for the Natal Association team.

Top Lady went to Geraldine Vivers from the Gonubie Blue team.

Graham Doman on the boat “Teraglin” was the Top Skipper achieving a massive 1148.62 points over the 2 days of fishing.
