The Gordon’s Bay Boat and Angling Club (GBBAC) has hailed the 2025 Airmar Offshore Classic, held from Saturday 26 April to Friday 2 May, as a resounding triumph.
The event drew 189 anglers across 37 boats for a week of intense competition.
The opening function at the Gordon’s Bay Boat and Angling Club set a lively tone for the event, with participating teams and their supporters filling the venue with anticipation.
The competition saw teams fish for three consecutive days. On the very first day, the boat Nakupenda landed an impressive 115,1 kg tuna, immediately setting a formidable benchmark for the rest of the fleet.
Despite excellent fishing conditions on the subsequent day, including calm seas and abundant tuna, no-one could surpass the day 1 monster catch.
As the boats returned to shore on the final day, the scales closed, confirming Nakupenda’s initial catch as the winning fish. The spirit of camaraderie remained strong throughout the week, culminating in a celebratory prize-giving ceremony on Friday 2 May, where top anglers and teams were recognised.
The GBBAC deemed the 2025 Airmar Offshore Classic a resounding success, highlighting the enthusiasm and competitive spirit of the anglers. Organisers are looking forward to building on this year’s achievements for the 2026 edition of the popular offshore fishing event.
