DOUBLE I was featured in the article “Women That Fish” in the April issue and I noticed this comp you guys are running. We spent last weekend at Witbank Dam staying at a private venue (we saw the Cast-for-Cash boats flying by). On Sunday we went out along the eastern bank and managed to catch a lot of decent bass. We took one photo I think you will appreciate. I caught a nice bass and after my husband removed the hook we got everything ready to take a quick photo. I got my rod out the way and without realising my Watermelon Red Junior Fluke went back into the water next to the boat. While reaching to take the first bass a second one took the fluke and I almost lost my rod. Long story short, I caught the second one as well and managed to take this photo very quickly thereafter. Both fish safely released to scare someone else another day. – Linky Ferreira

BEAUTY My son Bryce (15 years) caught this 3.8kg beauty at Albert Falls Dam early December 2017. He was fishing a deep rocky point in about 8ft of water. He caught it using a Rapala DT10. Thanks for a great magazine. – Nolene van der Merwe 12 SA BASS May 2018
NEW PB This is my PB bass for this year. It was a 1kg (42cm) fish. I caught this bass at a friend’s dam near Scottburgh. I caught it on a Zoom Green Pumpkin Dead Ringer. It was the first time this lure hit the water. The fish took it on the fall. I love reading your magazine, it always give me good tips. – Wesley Bosch
