Geelstert Challenge

The 26th Chas Everitt Geelstert Challenge was held on the 27th of December 2022. With fickle weather patterns the final call to go ahead was made at 17h on the 26th, and the Skippers briefing lead by our own Grant van Der Westhuizen followed shortly thereafter.

With 207 entrants and 40 boats, it was extremely well attended including some of our local Struisbaai fishing crews. It was a glorious morning, and contestants set out before dawn. The Geelstert Challenge is a family event and from young to old all stood a chance to haul in the biggest yellowtail on the day and with that the R20 000 cash prize.

Fishing is more than just catching fish. It's about spending time with friends and family, and making memories that will last a lifetime.
