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!

On the freshwater front
In this issue of Tight Lines, you can read more about Neville Barnard’s attempt to conquer a challenging dam on the Lesotho border and find out from Eben Dowd how to tie the mustard Caddis fly. Rohan Koegelenberg takes us on another Orange River adventure and Andries Maree shows us how to make sweet white dough for bait.

Rock and surf
Manie Combrinck tells the story of how Odin rewarded him with some good kayak fishing catches and Nickie Louwrens shares his knowledge of saltwater angling. Roux Swart highlights a few good fishing spots in and around Cape Town.  

Competitions 
November 2017 saw South Africa hosting the 34th men’s and 25th ladies’ World Club Championships for shore anglers at Langebaan on the West Coast. Although the anglers had to battle seaweed and unfavourable weather conditions, they managed to land a few good catches. The Overberg Boat Club, together with the Western Province Deep Sea Angling Association (WPDSAA), hosted the 6th Annual Kleinbaai Bottomfish Interprovincial from 26 to 30 September 2017 with three teams from the Eastern Province, three from the Western Province and one from KwaZulu-Natal taking part.

LOOKING BACK AT A SUCCESSFUL YEAR
As the year draws to an end, it is always satisfying to look back and revel in one’s achievements, including one’s personal bests. Someone who certainly has several of these to boast of is Molli van der Merwe, who achieved no more than five personal bests during the year: each one an improvement on the last. At the same time, she made good on her resolution to go fishing as often as she could.
In addition to Molli’s exploits, freshwater anglers can read about the adventures of Evert Laubscher and Rudolph Venter, who went fishing in the Okavango Delta, and Rohan Koegelenberg who went drifting the Orange River in the vicinity of Riemvasmaak for the adventure of a lifetime. Saltwater anglers, on the other hand, can join Manie Combrinck as he tells us about Wayne Biljoen’s successful day on his kayak in Cape Vidal.
This month, you can also read about some of the wonderful experiences of your fellow readers and fishing enthusiasts as they brag about their catches. The participants in the 30th Gamtoos Boat Angling Tournament made the most of this annual four-day competition near Port Elizabeth, and we congratulate Coen Zeelie on his catch during the South African championships, in which he participated in the category for sight-impaired anglers. 
We introduce a new series this month, which focuses on targeting specific species. This month, Chris Nolan gives anglers some tips on targeting bronze bream, which can be found from the southwestern Cape northwards up to KwaZulu-Natal, and has even been encountered in Mozambique.
The editor and staff of Tight Lines would also like to make use of this opportunity to wish all its loyal readers and advertisers a joyous and peaceful festive season. If you are on the road, drive safely, and make the most of this precious time with your families and loved ones.
Until next year, happy angling!
Editor

One of the big questions that many anglers find themselves grappling with, and which they are sure will reveal the big secret to catching bigger fish than anyone else, is what the best time of year is to pack up your gear and head for the waters. Perhaps you should follow the example of Rohan Koegelenberg and keep a diary, so that you can compare the conditions during your current fishing trip to the same time last year, or the year before.
Looking back at the conditions on the Vaal River over the years, Rohan, however, reached the conclusion that whatever the weather, the secret lies in making the most of your angling adventure, and making sure that you have the right tackle to do so. 
This month, we take you across the length and breadth of our beautiful country. Paging through this issue of Tight Lines, you can follow Rohan and catch yellowfish on the Vaal River or join Eben Dowd to catch trout near Belfast in Mpumalanga. Andries Maree gives you professional tips on catching bass in Limpopo’s Rust de Winter Dam. Chris Nolan talks to guest angler Riaan la Grange about catching white musselcracker or brusher, as it is also known, in Still Bay in the Southern Cape. Danie Engelbrecht takes us to the Jozini Dam in KwaZulu-Natal to catch tigerfish. 
You can also read about the excitement that formed part of two angling competitions: the Buffelspoort Business Challenge, a trophy carp angling competition that was held in August, and the 3 Species Bonanza, which was held at Loskop Dam in September, where the race was on to catch the heaviest carp, barbel and bass.
Make the most of this time of year, and be sure to have the right tackle.
Until next time, happy angling!
