In this issue

Die naam sê alles - VisKoors is vir elkeen wat ‘n passie het vir hengel.

Billfish 15000
The annual Billfish 15000 Tournament was hosted at Sodwana Bay in November. This was the 29th year that this tournament was held. The tournament was organised and hosted by the Dorado Ski Boat Club from Carletonville. Anyone who has attended this prestigious tournament will attest to the fantastic organisation and correlation of all activities by Dorado.
It is by far the best organised and most prestigious tournament in the South African fishing calendar. Read about all the action that took place

Boilie Bait Basics
When the term boilie is discussed amongst carp fishermen, there is the immediate acceptance that a boilie can only be used as bait for specimen fishing. This is not the case.
Paul Rawsthorne has caught some of his biggest carp by using these wonderful balls of bait, either crushed up into powder or loose in my ground bait, whilst still using a method feeder and standard hook baits for bank angling like floats, mealies and dough.

Koning van die Koepel
Pierre se neef, Chris le Roux en sy gesin, asook Blikkies se seun het by hom aangesluit. Terwyl hulle bly hoop het dat hulle ‘n paar grotes sou uittrek, het hulle ook uitgesien na ‘n woelige hengelsessie met die entoesiastiese kleinspan.
Die Vaalrivier is vir ‘n kind ‘n wonderland en dit help as ma by is om soveel entoesiasme te temper!
