Yellow rubber ducks, a bagpipe player and dinosaurs made an appearance at a tongue-in-cheek “fishing” competition held at the weekend on a road ridden with potholes in the KwaZulu-Natal midlands.
The competition was the brainchild of Curry’s Post Conservancy member Kemsley Wood, who wanted to draw attention to the pothole problem and help raise funds for a clean-up project initiated by the community.

Kingston SE Surf Fishing Contest report
By Miss Paternoster | 4 February 2021
THE 42nd annual Kingston SE Surf Fishing Contest brought together 1,200 competitors. The weather forecast looked pretty awesome with a prediction of 32 degrees for the 2pm start on Saturday January 23 and the weather definitely was spot on!
It is a weekend that everyone involved looks forward to. The preparation for the weekend began early on Tuesday when the lure of winning a boat for the heaviest scale fish was too tempting an opportunity to pass on.
Firstly, I made sure I had enough variations of rigs and decided to upgrade and buy a new pilchard lure. Changing tactics from last year’s failed attempt at using fresh pilchards on double-gang hooks, I decided that a lure may be the answer. Upon entering the competition I asked for more advice about bait and after much discussion with the local experts I bought a smorgasbord including squid and cockles.
