Ramil bags red-cap in APL League battle

The much anticipated League 2 of the Angling Professional League (APL) took place on September 16 at Richgate Park. League 2 between the top guns, Ladysmith AC and Breakwaters AC, had ended in a draw on 31 points apiece. On this occasion, Breakwaters emerged victorious on 65 points; followed by Ladysmith with 43 points, while the ever-improving Stillwaters, finished third on 32 points; followed by Challengers on 11 points and Glencoe (1pt).
The current league log sees Breakwaters in pole position on 23 points; followed by Ladysmith (21 pts); Challengers (14 pts); Stillwaters (12 pts); Dannhauser (8 pts) and Glencoe (6 pts).
The “Angler of the Day” was Ramil Juggan of Ladysmith Angling Club scoring 9 points, receiving the Red Cap, an outright trophy and R200. The top three anglers of the APL sees Mohamed Mia (Challengers AC) leading the pack with 17 points; followed by Kaveer Singh (BAC – 12 pts) and Anil Boodhoo (SAC – 10 pts).
Udien Govinder of Ladysmith AC landed an impressive carp which tipped the scale at 4,190kg placing him favourably to win R500 as an incentive for cracking the 4kg mark. Due to the fasting period, anglers will be taking a well-deserved break from competitive angling and will be back in action for League 3 on 21 October at Sandford.
This season, the prizes have been made rather lucrative with the top three anglers winning themselves R3 000, R2 000 and R1 000 worth of angling tackle respectively with the compliments of the APL and Mohamed Midas. The “Angler of the Year” will win a tackle voucher worth R3 000 and family weekend at Chimani Resort on the Vaal River sponsored by Andre Bait and Tackle.
