Fishing fun day at Dudley Pringle Dam

North Coast Courier

“Cast a line for charity at the next Durban Waterproofing and Roofing fishing fun day.“

Dust off your fishing gear – the countdown for the Durban Waterproofing and Roofing fishing fun day, in partnership with the North Coast Courier Orphan Fund, has begun!

Hosted at the Dudley Pringle dam on Sunday, April 15, the event will run from 6.30am to 2pm, with prize giving taking place at 11am.

Like last year, the event is not a fishing ‘competition’ and there will be no measuring and weighing of fish.

There will however be loads of excellent lucky draw prizes up for grabs throughout the morning and families are encouraged to bring their braai’s and picnic baskets and make a morning of it.

The focus is on family fun and affording fishermen the rare opportunity to fish the exceptionally productive, untouched waters of the Dudley Pringle dam, which is not normally open to the public, for one day only.

Anglers can target any species of fish in the dam (including bass, tilapia and barble).
Kick boats, paddle ski’s and small inflatable paddle boats are allowed, however no motorised boats or sneaker motors will be permitted.

Registration
Space is limited and anglers are encouraged to book early to avoid disappointment.

You can enter at Basil Manning Ballito (registration closes Friday, April 13) or online by completing the entry form BELOW (registration closes Wednesday, April 11).

of any kind).
6. All fish must be released safely back to the dam. In the event of a gut hooked fish, please trim the line, so as to ensure no further damage to the fish.
7. No fish may be removed from the premises.
8. Care should be taken not to hold the fish out of the water for longer than a minute. Please keep the fish wet as long as possible and do not allow the fish to be placed on the grass as this removes its protective coating.
