Next: Some Big Fishing Competitions in October

Two awesome tuna competitions rolled into one at Rumbly Bay and (WATCH) we’re getting ready for the 12 X 12 Species in St Lucia

Monster tuna and a chance for everyone to fish alongside the best of the best at the 51st annual Rumbly Bay Tune Invitational – and SADSAA’s Own Choice Tuna Interprovincial – and more awesome game fishing along the east coast at this year’s 12 X 12 Species at St Lucia Ski-Bot Club. These are the big fishing competitions in October 2019.

51ST RUMBLY BAY TUNA INVITATIONAL

21–26 OCTOBER 2019

One of SA’s oldest and best-known competitions celebrates its 51st year in 2019. This is the open competitive side to this event (there’s an official SASAA side to it below), and there are loads of awesome cash prizes and goodies to be won as the Western Province Deep Sea Angling Association (WPDSAA) and Cape Boat and Ski-Boat Club in Simon’s Town welcome all national, provincial and novice teams to the Rumbly Bay Tuna Invitational.

OWN CHOICE TUNA INTERPROVINCIAL 

21–26 OCTOBER 2019

Happening at the same time and place (Cape Boat and Ski-Boat) as the Rumbly Bay tuna comp, the Own Choice Interprovincial is the official SADSAA tuna fishing side, meaning it’s for the amateur anglers who have (or are gunning for) provincial and national colours. It’s much more stringent rules and precise fishing – usually pulling out massive tuna with nothing but a 10kg line, so it’s naturally spectacular to see these guys in action.

12 X 12 SPECIES

25–27 OCTOBER 2019

One of SA’s most conservation-minded game fish competitions: 12 species are nominated and each team is only allowed to catch and weigh-in five specimens of each species. The idea is that limiting the number of catches minimises the competition’s impact on fish populations, good for conservation. Check out the 12 x 12 Species at St Lucia Ski-Boat Club.
