Extreme Fishing Africa in association with Assassin have been running our monthly RECENT CATCH COMPETITION.
We have been mainly running it on Facebook, Instagram and Angler's talk magazine but I have decided that I'll be doing the first publication of our winners features on Hive!
Features will be random as they come in.
These talented ladies deserve all the recognition they are given👌
May winner Sonja Oosthuizen's Fishing tale:
Hi Anglers
My name is Sonja Oosthuizen and i live in a little town called Struisbaai. I am a 46 year old home executive and when our Charter boat 🛥goes out i am surely the first one on as my husbands assistant skipper by trade. I love😍 the ocean soo much that i had to do my skippers and radio📟 course as well. I am from a town called Hartbeespoort dam where i was inspired by my dad, always going fishing with him in the dam whenever we had the opportunity and was hooked the moment i caught my first fish. My husband use to name me a "pap gooier" because of freshwater fishing until i moved to cape town, met my husband and started saltwater fishing on his boat. My dad, husband and youtube😅 taught me all i know about on and offshore angling.
My best fishing experience was when i went deep sea fishing on the boat and caught my first yellow tail. It was an awesome fight, and after that experience i just wanted more of that adrenaline feeling of excitement beyond having any words to explain it.
I believe the most important thing about going fishing is to honor the recreational fishing regulations that includes your daily bag limit, minimum size, seasonal fish as well as trying to release the highly resident and vulnerable species back into the ocean and please make sure to take all your plastics and garbage with you !!!!!📢 All anglers are so blessed to enjoy and having fun going fishing, the least we can do is respect the ocean as well.
