In this issue
Understanding your bait and what makes a good bait, is your first and most important tool in landing the carp of your dreams. “Understanding Carp Bait Additives, Ingredients and Mixes” and a little attention in your bait approach can yield big results says Paul Rawsthorne.
The fact that carp spend a lot of time in mid to upper layers of water must make “Fishing a Zig-rig” a good choice which is often under fished here in South Africa, according to Noel Midlane.
With so many different sizes of hooks available it can be difficult decision to know what size would be needed for which baits. However, no matter which size of hook is selected, there’s always a chance a carp can see it. Remember if we can see it then carp will probably see it too! Read more about “Carp Hook Tactics” in this issue.
Another very useful article is Paul’s advice on “Fishing for Carp on a Small Budget”. It is amazing what he has thought of to cut down costs – a must read article!
We also have articles on “Club Fishing – Is It an Old Man’s Sport?”, “Brand New Hook Baits for the South African Market” and part two of Rudolph’s series on catching “Catfish on Art Lure”. Bertrand also concludes his series on catching snakeheads in East Asia.
In this issue we have two shop reviews: Knott’s Outdoor Paradise and Bass World.
Our destination for this month is Beacon Vlei. Enjoy!

VisKoors, which is editorially and financially independent, is a bi-monthly magazine catering for all angling facets in Southern Africa. It is designed as a specialist fishing magazine and it enjoys the support and endorsement of non-government organisations, but is not affiliated in any way to these bodies or to any other publishing, environmental or political interest group.

These include providing a platform for informed debate on issues affecting the sport of angling, providing information on angling strategies and techniques, angling waters and opportunities, and also creating awareness of new products.
Within this editorial mix, due consideration is given to developing the sport among all the country's people (including the youth), and to the practical conservation of the country's natural resources.
