Good Day Everyone,
There are many parts to my experience at Roos Se Oord this past weekend. Let me start with all the positive things, I entered a competition held by a guy named George, paid my entry fee of R450.00 which included my stay over the weekend (That's all). The weather was fantastic the conditions were perfect for angling.The security was tight-knit and always on patrol.The competition started at 19:00 on the 2nd March and ended on the 4th. The Friday night I managed to land 4 carp weighing an average of 3kg. When going to weigh in George stated that the minimum to qualify was 3.5kg, which was fine as that was the rules. At approximately 20:00 George's son lands a carp weighing 7.5kg casting over hyacinth which lay about 100m out in water about 1m deep.
Rules to the competition stated that no feeding before hand may be allowed, I noticed on my first attempted weigh-in there were pellets moistened on the floor next to his bakkie.
I spoke to one of the locals, and that carp was sourced from a dam.
No one else caught anything over 3.5kg and his son took 1st and that was all.
As speaking to other anglers he was meant to give out bom, dips and dough to the competition anglers, but kept it for himself.
George will never see me at any of his fishing competitions again.
