The 2024 SAALAA SA Championship at Loskop dam was definitely a highlight in my artlure journey so far. Competing against the best in the country I lowered my expectations and fished to the best of my abilities on a dam I hardly know, I compiled a game plan and stuck to it and fortunately the plan delivered throughout the event. I was surprised with the results to say the least. My accomplishments included:
- Took bronze in Senior trails;
- Won Rookie of the Year;
- Silver in SA’s with the rest of the A teams;
- Gold for overall performance with the rest of NORGALAS team.
Thank you to all for the support from my wife, friends and family, my Creator for the gift and ability and to all my sponsors.

ZAHN EN WOUTER KRUGER
Ek deel graag my en my man se heel eerste diepsee visvang foto’s. Ek het ’n groot ‘couta gevang en my man ’n groot queenfish. Ons was uit met ‘charters’ op LegaSea in St Lucia en dit was ’n ongelooflike ervaring! Zahn Kruger.
LIAN DE JAGER
Lian de Jager (13 jaar) het hierdie twee pragtige mosselkrakers op Oujaarsmiddag, 31 Desember 2023, net voor sonsondergang, na mekaar gevang op Jongensfontein. Hy het ‘n Bluefish visstok met ‘n BigBoss 6000 katrol gebruik en 40-pond JBraid. Die visse se gewigte is onderskeidelik 5,5 kg en 14,5kg. Ek stuur ‘n paar foto’s saam met sy sussie Ellene, wat help vashou op die een foto. Abri de Jager.

Ek het op Vrydag 19 April hierdie galjoen by Groenvleistrand gevang. Die lengte was 49cm, my aas was ’n bloedwurm. Dit was ’n lekker geveg gewees om die meneer uit te kry.

PIETER & ROCHELLE SMITH
While targeting musselcracker off the rocks, an unexpected fight started. The team, paired with a Penn Legion2, 5-7oz rod, Penn Fears3, 8000 spooled with 75-pound main line and 120pound braid leader had their work cut out for them.
Managing a great team effort and a hard one-hour fight off the rocks, this amazing Eagle ray was landed. With a fast hook release and some photos, she was safely released back to where she belongs.
LETTIE KOEKEMOER
Using a 10ft Loomis Franklin rod and Okuma 8000 Revenger reel, I caught a 7,8kg Grey shark with chokka at Uvongo.
