Grand angling competition is no April’s Fool

The Endumeni Angling club (E.A.C.) will be hosting its debut open overnight bank angling competition on April 1-2 at Chelmsford Dam. This prestigious angling event will be handing out prizes to the value of more than R70 000, with a grand prize of R20 000 in cash for the biggest scaled fish and R10 000 for the biggest non-scaled fish. The prizes also includes a “skins competition” that gives your fish a double chance to win a R1 000 cash prize within a specified 3-hour time limit, as well as be eligible for the grand prize.
“There are many other prizes including fishing tackle, electrical appliances, outdoor equipment, furniture, office equipment, household goods, car accessories as well as lucky draws,” said Rishard Ismail, EAC secretary.
“Raffle tickets are on sale at R20 which gives you a chance to win a 55″ full HD smart TV to the value of R10 000. You can buy your tickets from any E.A.C. member now or at the competition. The draw for the raffle will be done at the weigh-in ceremony and you don’t have to be there to win this latest TV.”
The competition commences at 8am on April 1 (main gates open at 6am) and the weigh-in closes at 10am on April. This event will, for the first time years, see hundreds of anglers from all over the country competing in a 100% full dam, starting from the Sanford camping sites to Zone E (islands).
Tickets cost R200 per person, excluding gate and overnight fees. Limited tickets are available so hurry and get yours quickly before you miss out on these fantastic prizes.
