STYWE LYNE TIGHT LINES - June 2019 – Issue 712

In dieser Angelegenheit

As winter starts to creep in here’s a warm welcome one and all to our May issue that again presents a high-end, mixed bag of angling related content.
One recreational fishing trend that justifies an upfront mentioning is our feature on “Fat Bike Fishing”, which is growing in popularity among beach anglers up and down our eastern coastline. To lead off a mini-series on this beach fishing innovation news editor Charmagne Grimbeek and photographer Tobias Weber experienced first-hand the joys – and physical demands – of a day on the beach at St Lucia with saltwater guide Jeff Asher-Wood. Their account begins on page 34.

It’s always intriguing – and also highly interesting – to read what first-timers experience when they actually get the opportunity to go fish a venue that’s been on their ‘bucket list’ for a long time. This year Werner Lubbe, who has lessened his commitments to formal angling at provincial and international level, at long last found the time and opportunity to fish one of the most sought after and prestigious saltwater venues in southern Africa, namely Mazeppa Bay. His story however drills deeper into the pure personal enjoyment of the adventure than most accounts in the genre – he had to employ lessons learnt over many seasons of high-level competitive angling to overcome unexpected and highly disruptive weather conditions.

Go enjoy all of it, and much more, in this issue!
Meanwhile enjoy the shortening days on the beach, bank or boat, and as always, Take Care!
