Boland Spearo Team launching through the Umzimkulu Mouth 23 April 2023

Henco and Vloei of the Boland Spearfishing team made the huge trip up from Cape Town. To the Umzimkulu Marina. In Port Shepstone, KZN. To prepare for the upcoming national spearfishing event that we are competing in.
60 Of the best spearos in the water, will converge for a week, to compete. The dates are 1 - 7 May 2023. Teams of 3 are fielded by provinces all over the country.
But don't expect to see huge catches of huge fish at this event. The rules are totally conservation oriented. With a minimum weight of 1kg, up to 4kgs. Different species score different points. And the breakdown is really weird, to say the least.
These divers will have to perform complex mathematical calculations underwater before they pull the trigger. Shooting the closest to 4kgs of any species, is top strategy for this event.
So this launch is Henco's first out of the Umzimkulu Mouth in Sheppy. But having launched at Umkomaas a number of times before this, I was sure he would get us through just fine. Which he did. We were fortunate enough to have the Niteshift launch right before us so Henco could watch and see the line he chose.
The 90hp single engine configuration makes this little 5.5m boat nigh invincible. Super fast acceleration. And turns on a dime. Both advantages played a role in getting us out there through a very unpredictable swell on this day.
Stay posted for updates as the event unfolds...
