BETT - Bass fishing at its Best

McCrystal Insurance Brokers are one of the proud sponsors for The Bass Equaliser Tournament Trail (B.E.T.T.)

What is B.E.T.T? B.E.T.T is a monthly bass fishing tournament, managed by anglers with both national and international experience, which would be governed by a set of rules. This event takes place at venues in Gauteng and KZN.

The Bass Equaliser Tournament Trail (B.E.T.T) began in 2005. The idea behind the competition, was to introduce a professionally organised and executed tournament circuit. It was to be managed by anglers with both national and international experience, which would be governed by a set of rules. There was at the time, not only a need, but a request by the anglers for such a circuit to be introduced. The idea was to start a monthly competition, at various venues initially in Gauteng, but has subsequently grown at phenomenal rate above all expectations and has expanded to include KZN. This would not only test the ability of the anglers but promote the sport and in doing so encourage development whilst encouraging corporate involvement and competitiveness amongst seasoned and novice anglers. In 2006 the average participation was 30 boats (60 anglers) as it is a team event. However, the overall registered teams totalled no less than 55. In 2007 there was an average participation of 80 boats (160 anglers) and registered teams totalled in excess of 130.

2012 Cable Tour Hyperlite Stop 1

Author : ridecable - www.ridecable.co.za

March 2012 Saturday 10 March saw a crew of the country’s most dedicated cable wake-boarders & skaters, gathering at Base 3, Leisure Lakes in Midrand to kick off the 2012 season.

Pitting themselves against each other and the assortment of rails and kickers the riders pulled out all the stops for a cracker start to the season! Base 3, Leisure Lakes provided a fantastic venue for the event, with riders, spectators and families making full use of the first-class facilities, and enjoying a lovely day out. Everyone was well looked after, and a special mention must go to Justin Lemm and his crew who put in much appreciated effort to ensure that the hosting of the event was of international standards.

The Saturday evening party hosted in honour of all the riders will be remembered for many years to come! The morning’s proceedings were greeted with near perfect conditions.

First up were the novice riders. The Novice division was by far the largest category, illustrating just how quickly the sport is growing. With over 30 riders competing, the spectators were treated to some of the best cable riding, with all riders giving it their all. A special mention must go to the youngest competitor, Keanu Selby who at only 8 was brave enough to go out for his 1st ride ever at a competition. Jacques Labuschagne from Cape Town gave all the riders in the category a run for their money.

The Ladies division saw current champ Melissa Colborne from Cape Town against UK rider Chloe Mitchell and Base3 local, Bryanna Motepe. Melissa’s solid run and execution wowed the crowd, showing that this young lady has a promising future in the sport.

Next up wer the wake-skaters, they started out strong and ended even stronger! The crowd saw them sticking a combination of flat water and rail tricks. Special mention to the 2 ladies who entered this male dominated category, Chloe Micthell and Bryanna Motepe. The level of riding in this division was very high, and with reigning champ Matty Buys being out due to injuries, the field was left open for a new winner to emerge.

The Pro Men division was run using the new head-to-head format, which saw the top 8 riders emerging from the 1st heats being pitted against each other based on their scores in their 1st run. The level of riding in this division was awe-inspiring to say the least, and the guys really pulled out all the stops, the crowds were glued to their seats and the judges had their work cut out for them.

Current reigning champ Gregor Reichmuth from Cape Town was pitted against Base3 local Justin Mitri, Old Favourite Justin Selby and Kyle Hecht-Wendt went head to head, Craig Eggburger another Capetonian against another Base3 local who has made a return to riding, Sinjon Phillips, and Capetonian Francois du Toit against Base 3 local, Ryan Durham who usually competes in Junior Men.

Many thanks to all spectators, riders and the sponsors, Hyperlite, Base 3 Leisure Lakes, Red Bull, Do it Now Magazine, McCrystal Insurance and Nando’s, without whom an event of this magnitude would not have been possible.

We look forward to the CASA 2012 Cable Tour Nationals at Forever Resorts Warmbaths, 21/22 April 2012

Overall results: from 1st to 3rd

Novice: Jacques Labuschagne, Andrew Kofahl, Dean van Greunen

Ladies: Melissa Colborne, Chloe Mitchell, Bryanna Motepe (Hyperlite sponsored rider)
