Thread: Clanwilliam Winter Classic

I noticed that the ever popular Clanwilliam Winter Classic hasn't had a mention yet. It's a lekker jol orgainised by Peninsula Bassmasters, biggest bag prize this year is R12 000 and there's a R2000 big fish prize, entry is R950 per team. I know it's late notice but it would be great to see some up-country guys there, and of course more capies.

I heard there are some decent smallies coming out in the week, all fat and strong.

Sounds great but R950 a team sounds pretty steep .....

R950 for a classic is about the asking price. Most are R1000 or R1200.

Oh ..........
+ petrol
+ lures and line and stuff
+ time on water
+ "away from family" time
+ travelling time

Geez this is quite an investment. No wonder so many guys get so peeved when comps are cancelled ......

More like this
+ petrol on water and to get there
+ boat repayments
+ boat maintenance
+ boat insurance
+ trailer maintenance
+ trailer license
+ COF
+ Skippers ticket
+ camping equipment
+ accomodation
+ lures and line and stuff
+ time on water
+ "away from family" time
+ travelling time
+

All that expense just to catch a bass fish and let it go again....

and it's worth every cent :-)

We will not be doing the classic as we are going there end of september for the interprovincials. I've never been there and cant wait. Always a first time for everything. Looking forward to get a smallie on the line.
