Get ready for Chelmsford Dam’s biggest ever overnight bank angling competition, hosted by Stillwaters Angling Club, an affiliate of Breakwaters Angling Club. This competition will be held from November 30 to December 1, from the Sandford camping site to Zone E.
Cash and other prizes total over R100 000, and include a lounge suite, dining room suite, fridge, eye-level oven and hob, microwave oven, fishing tackle, household appliances, camping equipment, power tools, motor vehicle accessories, car radios, and more.
In the scaled category, the top five prizes include first prize of R15 000, second prize R10 000, third R5 000, fourth lounge suite, fifth dining room suite.
In the non-scaled category, first prize is R10 000, second R6 000, third R4 000, fourth fridge, fifth eye-level oven/hob.
This competition is unique as it incorporates a ‘skins’ competition as well. There are four ‘skins’ sessions, each carrying a price tag of R1 500 (scaled category) and R500 (non-scaled). The fish caught during the skins competition also qualify for the other prizes. This gives most competitors a reasonable chance of winning prizes throughout the duration of the competition.
The competition starts at 10am on November 30 – however patrons will be allowed into the competition area from 8am. The weigh-in closes on December 1 at 10am at the camping site.
The entrance fee is R200 per angler, which excludes gate fees.
Queuing starts from the main gates and no swapping of vehicles will be allowed. No observers are allowed. No free-standing trailers allowed.
Tickets should be purchased from our outlets prior to the competition to avoid disappointment, as a limited number will be sold at the gates. Once the target has been achieved, patrons run the risk of being turned away from the gates as the venue is limited in space.
Therefore our advice to patrons is to please purchase tickets well in advance.
Breakwaters Angling Club is reputed for hosting well-organised and prestigious competitions, and this promises to be yet another bumper competition.
Tickets are available from Murchison Street Motors (Newcastle), Midas (Newcastle), Vees Extreme Tackle (Ladysmith), and Ismail’s Supermarket (Dundee), or from members.
