Herald Fishing: Tight lines for King of the Sea
There are a shoal of awesome prizes up for grabs including heaps of cash for the top winners along with holidays and getaways, fishfinders, fridge/freezers (to keep the fish and the refreshments chilled), fishing tackle and more.
The 10th annual Safire King of the Sea fishing challenge, the South Coast’s most fun and popular fishing competition, is set to take place this weekend, May 18 and 19.
It pits fishermen on kayaks, jet skis and ski-boats against each other in a gamefish-only competition in which only couta, yellowfin tuna, snoek, dorado and wahoo count.

Title sponsor Safire Insurance, a short-term insurer that has supported the event for several years now in line with its slogan ‘short-term insurers, long term partners’, is joined by Glasfit, Halfway Toyota Shelly Beach, Rototank, Catch Cook and Go Fish magazine to ensure that prizes for the event are as enticing as any fish-tempting lure.

The event, held at Pumula Beach Hotel, isn’t just for those trying to land the big one.
All are welcome to join in for family fun and entertainment, with great excitement as each catch is brought ashore.
There is something for the whole family, including live music, wine tasting, the renowned Pumula seafood braai, and rugby on the big screen. There is also a tantalising crayfish competition and – weather permitting – a kiddies’ fishing competition on the Saturday.
