See you there.

i'm sure looking forward to this event. I've never taken part in an organized fishing comp before, so i hope i'll do ok. Anyone else interested?

The atmosphere and the excitement all around is something that cannot be described. You will surely enjoy this event though though we may be among strangers.

It is a very relaxed enviroment, unlike Organised Angling where there is pressure to perform from fellow team members, Captains, Management etc ...

I will be gathering as much info as I can on fishing Comps at Bloemhof with an emphasis on targeting Big Fish rather looking at quantity as in regular Club Competitions.

i've also done some research. need to do alot of feeding. many guys going through on the Wed nite already, as registration starts 08h00 on the Thurs! i've bought about 15kg of poultry feed thus far.

That's alot of feed. How are you going to get it into the cast zone ? Will it be bindable ( onto a sinker or holder) for casting ? or will you be boiling it ?

in the research i've done, they talk about 500kg of feed! the feed i bought must be soaked for 24hrs and then boiled for 30 minutes. it's for pre-baiting; 1st throw/place about 3-4kg in the desired spot, and keep adding about 1kg more every 1.5-2hrs. other types of feed include cow-feeding blocks, etc. wil show you copies of all the stuff i got when you return
