1st, 2nd and 3rd Prizes up for grabs for each category, as well as biggest fish, and a few other prizes on the day.
Should you wish to donate prizes please contact Paul on: 083-637-8084
The owner of Kaia Manzi is charging a reduced rate - a flat fee of R150 per car to gain entry to the venue (thank you!), no matter how many people are in the car, whether towing a boat, no matter what inflatable, dinghy or kickboat. Just mention that you are attending the Pink Fishing event to ensure this rate.
Please ensure you take care and act responsibly on the property.
PLEASE park your vehicles and trailers in an orderly manner. Do not park anyone in (unless he's your buddy and he knows about it), and do not park under a lapa or shaded port which is meant for people to sit under. It's a busy period so please help us to show the owners we are a considerate bunch of guys.
Competition / Event Entry fee: Ok so here's the thing. We originally said R200 per boat of 2 anglers and R100 p/p thereafter. Then we thought "That's one team of two members, and another team of 1 member. We have float tubers, so they are only 1. Some boats will have 3 up, or 4, or even 5! So how are the prizes going to work in this instance if it's a team of 3 or 4, and we only have 2 prizes - eek!!". So we had a re-think ...... and since everyone is paying R100 already, we only really had one choice.
The competition will therefore be an INDIVIDUAL event, i.e. R100 per person, and is not a team event. 5 fish limit, as usual. (I see boat partners looking at each other wondering who's gonna be the lucky one on the day).
Now, we understand that this may cause congestion in terms of livewell capacity, but we are sure the anglers can check up on their catch every now and then, and run in a fish or two as and when required.
Float tubers, inflatables, dinghy's, kayaks (referred to as "other craft") are to keep their fish in the follow me bags that are used in the KBBC / SBBC events, or in a suitably acceptable keep net of sorts that will not damage the fish. Please ensure your fish are in good condition throughout the day.
Since all types of craft are able to compete, we are aware there may be safety concerns regards to float tubes, boat wakes, etc. Float tubers have their backs towards their target they are kicking to, so please could all craft take care and look out for each other and/any other craft on the water. Also, please give way to slower moving craft.
Boats and "other craft" will have separate starting areas on the competition day.
Trolling will be permitted for this event - you are welcome to use this form of fishing at your own discretion.
We have adopted the Cast for Cash rules, copy attached.
Guys, the emphasis is on the ladies for the day, as well as the aspect of FUN. This is also the first time we're attempting an event like this, and with all the different types of craft participating we hope it will be a unique and an exciting event. However it can also prove to be a daunting task to control and organise, so please be vigilant. Any suggestions will be welcomed.
All entry fees for the event will go towards getting the Pink Fishing charity up and running www.pinkfishing.co.za - our kind sponsors have donated numerous prizes for the day.
Proceeds from the sale of Pink Fishing merchandise will go towards creating awareness for breast cancer, would support CANSA, as well as the Avon Justine iThemba Crusade mobile breast cancer testing units project.
