VisKoors - March 2015

In this issue

Our main article this month focuses on “The ABC of Barbel Basics” for all those anglers who really want to target this specie. Paul Rawsthorne has some real extra ordinary tactics to take note of.

Many anglers arrive at their favourite fishing spots without inspecting the margins. What are margins and their significance? If you want to increase your catch rate you will have to “Correctly fish the Margins”. Then, “Catch & Release” is a sensitive issue in South Africa with many specimen carp anglers driving the awareness and many conventional carp anglers are showing concern and now acknowledging the importance of this practice, but we still have a very long way to go to ensure more anglers consider catch and release.

Focussing on art lure we have an article on “Tactics for targeting mullet” and catching “Tiger fish on a budget” at some of our best local waters. We also target “Vlei- and canary-kurper on lures”.

Ons Afrikaanse artikels fokus onder andere op ‘n baie belangrike deel van enige hengelaar se uitrusting, naamlik hoeke. Jolene van Greunen se artikel handel oor “onderwater terrein-opsporing” met behulp van ‘n merkerdobber.
Fanie Fourie deel nog “Kunsaashengeltegnieke vir die Nuwejaar” en Philip vertel van sy sprong “Van oewer- tot boothengelaar” en albei se voordele. Laastens bespreek Schalk van Breda die rol wat fiksheid en gesonde dieet speel in ‘n sport soos hengel.

Our destination for this month is Sunnyside Farm. Enjoy!
