Time for people with disabilities to cast out again

Disabled anglers will soon have the chance again to pull out the big ones that did not got away in Ramcat's fishing competition.

It is that time of the year again when disabled anglers are invited to join in the fun of the Ramcat Fishing competition.

Gerard Smal and his fellow organizers will present this unique fishing competition again on 10 September this year at the Irene Country Lodge in Centurion.

This competition becomes more popular every year and it’s the one day of the year when disabled anglers can socialize while they simultaneously compete to reel in the biggest fish. The competition is especially for people in wheelchairs and other disabilities. However, friends and family are welcome to join in the fun, although they will not be allowed to take part in the competition.

Every participant is also entitled to bring a helper who may help with putting on bait and other technical assistance.

The participants will be treated to delicious breakfast and lunch from the lodge, while the cash bar will be to everyone’s disposal. No loud music will be allowed.

“Everyone must bring their own rod and tackle. We provide the bait but they will be allowed to bring their own ‘muti’ to charm the carp,” Smal told Rekord.

“There is an entrance fee, but each angler will go home with a special gift,” he concluded.

The proceedings will start at 06:30 and will continue until after lunch at 14:00. For more info or to enter, phone Smal on 082-337-9064.
