About Algoa Bay Tuna Classic – the Classic Experience

The Standard Bank Algoa Bay Tuna Classic held annually during May in Nelson Mandela Bay, Port Elizabeth has gained status over the past 12 years becoming one of the feature events on the national game fishing calendar. Nelson Mandela Bay is also known as the Watersport Capital of Africa.

The country’s best anglers set out in search of the majestic Yellowfin tuna and battle it out for the heaviest catch. 2005 marks one of the most successful Algoa Bay Tuna Classic’s held to date and saw the event transformed from what was traditionally a fishing event only, into a “must be there” fishing and entertainment bonanza. Tunaland, the home of fun and fishtivities sports spectacular oceanic views. The tented village offers a variety of foods from the Food Hall and perfectly chilled beverages. Experience the daily fish weigh-ins at the revamped Macsteel VRN Tuna Bowl. There is plenty to keep the crowd busy – anglers and friends can party into the early hours with top live entertainment, making it the place to be.

Algoa FM Outdoor expo 2006

Algoa FM’s participation in this year’s expo will create massive awareness for exhibitors, sponsors and attract record numbers to Tunaland 2006.

A 750m2 marquee will be incorporated into "Tunaland" and will be the exclusive home of the expo. This will form a pleasant and professional viewing environment for visitors who are expected to spend on average 3 – 8 hours visiting Tunaland. The increased angler (approximately 750 entries) and public participations (expected 3 000 to 3 500 people per day) will guarantee exhibitors healthy financial and marketing returns. A highlight and focal point of each of the "classic" days is the daily weigh-ins which attracts a wide cross-section of the public. The stadium like environment created for this activity has shifted to in-between the Tunaland entertainment marquee and the Tunaland Outdoor Expo.

The new weigh-in area will have larger, open air grandstand to accommodate more public and in turn allow for increased number of visitors to the expo. If daily catches are slow, the EXPO will be assured of more visitors. If catches are high, the commentator will have more time and more spectators to send your way, once the fish are weighed. Weigh in happens from about 14h30 to about 19h00 on the four angling days.
