The Natal Freshwater Angling Association (NFWAA) cast off for Devland Impuphu League 4 this weekend, after the long holiday break.
Anglers anticipated good catches as the dam levels had picked up after some good rainfall. Overcast conditions were ideal for the fishermen, after enduring a long spell of hot weather.
Defending champion, Itec Freespool was determined to secure a win and ensure it kept a hand on the championship trophy, fielding a strong contingent of 25 anglers. It then proceeded to demolish its competitors with a massive 111 points on the day.
The ever improving Endumeni Angling Club of Glencoe secured 48 points and settled for second position. Chelmsford AC ended with 38 points, closely followed by Riverside Angling Club on 34 and Docrats Angling Club brought up the rear with 21 points.
Marcus Davids of Itec Freespool bagged the prize for the heaviest carp, weighing 4,49 kilograms, and his club mate, Prakesh Krishanlal landed the heaviest barbel which weighed in at 3,470kg. Both anglers walked away with a trophy and a R250 voucher from Devland Impuphu.
Anglers were ecstatic to see a total of 23 weighable kurper being caught, as this is one of the rare species at Chelmsford Dam.
The log standings see Itec Freespool on top with 40 points, followed by Endumeni (28), Chelmsford (20), Riverside (16) and Docrats (16). NFWAA thanks its sponsors for the continued support.
