Newsletter – January 2015 Newsletter – January 2015. Now that normality has returned back to our lives after what we hope was a good festive season to all, the Pedsac committee are back in full swing planning all the fishing and social events for the rest of the year. The Christmas Classic which was held during the holidays was a great success despite a damper placed on entries received caused by bad weather that dominated the entire weeks fishing. We thank all the sponsors and participants and hope to see you all back next year. As I mentioned, 2015 is off to a flying start and our club members will be informed of all the important happenings via or SMS, E-mail, Website and Facebook pages on a regular basis. I have also included a detailed article about Yellowtail fishing to help our newer members familiarise themselves with this strongman of our seas. Visitors Fees. Please note that it is the skipper’s responsibility to ensure that the R20 visitors fee is paid and placed in the envelopes provided when signing the log book to go out to see. Please ensure that all the required information such as the boat name, PEY number and date are clearly and legibly written on the stamped envelopes provided. There are unfortunately still some skippers who do not, or refuse to pay for the visitors on their boats and the committee would like to remind those guilty of not paying the fees that they are in breach of the club rules. We understand that every once in a while we forget or that we do not have the right amount of smaller notes on us which can be sorted when returning from the sea when the bar is open. Continuous transgression of non-payment will result in the members access tag being disabled and temporary suspended until the outstanding visitors fees has been paid. Wash bay and rubbish discarded from boats. We have noticed that many boats that use the new wash bay facilities sometimes leave their pilchard and chokka packaging and other boat refuge dumped next to the wash bay. Please note that action will be taken against any boat owner guilty of polluting the harbour and club grounds. We also request that no bait and soiled rubbish be dumped in the rubbish bin at the entrance to the club building as this is unpleasant for all visitors entering the building. Please ensure to always keep your own heavy duty black bags on the boat and to place all your rubbish in these bags. This can be dumped at the skip bins situated at the commercial slip on the way out the harbour or left behind the gate in the alley between the club house and the lapa where Transnet collects all our club rubbish on a regular basis. Over’s and Under’s competition. (Over 50’s and under 50’s) The annual over’s and under angling competition will be held on the 7th March 2015. For those who are not familiar with this old tradition, is when the Over 50’s take on the under 50’s in a one day fishing competition. The over 50’s naturally grant themselves privileges par for the course and make it as difficult for us youngsters to beat them, even by hook and by crook. The club captain convenes this competition and chooses the under 50’s and over 50’s captain who in turn select their teams for fishing glory. The over’s and under teams are mixed on the boats to help foster camaraderie and hopefully learn some fishing history from the old ballies at the same time. Participation is by invite only, but we request that all interested parties nominate their availability to provide boats as a skipper or to participate as an angler. The over 50’s and under 50’s teams will be selected from the available pool. Please keep an eye on our website and Facebook pages for further information. Super 6 ranking. Pieter Didloff took over the duties of competitions officer and have posted the new updated super 6 ranking lists. Club 100 and Monthly Steak Evenings It was with great sadness that we announced the cancellation of the Club 100 monthly draw for 2015. The Pedsac committee had to make this decision due to declining attendance and a general lack of interest. We understand that the pressures placed on the modern family changed the availability of most to be available to attend during a week day as there is a lot more pressure on parents from schools to assist their kids with schoolwork during the week, as well as zero tolerance towards alcohol related incidents at the workplace the next day for the parents. We therefore decided to change and rejuvenate the concept by introducing a monthly steak evening that will take place on the first Friday of every month. Tickets can be bought for R80 and will be available from the bar. The ticket price includes your 300 gram steak, hot chips and a salad as well as a R20 entry into the lucky draw for that evening. There will be entertainment in the form of Music Trivia, a live musician, Bingo and Karaoke on various evenings. Finer details on this draw are yet to be finalised and will be advertised via sms and mail. We hope to see our members return in numbers to support this new monthly event. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank Ambiton for their involvement with the Club 100 draw over the years. Annual Membership Fees During the AGM, it was decided not to increase the members fees due to our current sound financial position and our ongoing endeavours to increase the club income to cover rising expenses through other avenues instead of placing the burden on our members. We would like to remind all our valued members that their annual sub’s are now due and must be paid by Monday, 2nd February 2015 when tags will be suspended. Grace will only be given until Friday, 6th February to make the necessary arrangements for payments after which all non-paid members will be classified as defaulters resulting in them having to re-apply for membership. Yellowtail fishing – a beginners guide to success. (Various sources contributed) I LOVE yellowtail fishing!! When not catching tuna, Geelbek or other bottom species, we mainly target yellowtail, both with rod and reel, as well as by spear gun!! There have been lots written about catching yellowtail, so I’ll concentrate of the most effective ways to catch them. Many anglers will undoubtedly have different views and different techniques, which no doubt will work for them, so here follows the very basics, which, if you use them, WILL CATCH YOU FISH!! Trolling Lures can be divided into surface type lures and diving lures. Surface type lures I prefer these for a number of reasons when conditions are conducive. I use bungees most of the time, but the exact same applies for trolling with rod and reel. I started using squid type lures because I predominantly fished off semi-rigid boats (rubber ducks). Rapala type diving lure, have two sets of trebles and they don't mix well with inflatable boats. The funny part was that when i switched to trolling only surface type squids, we seemed to out-fish most other boats. We seemed to be catching more fish than if we had been trolling Rapala type diving lures. The reasoning behind this is quite simple!! You're trolling along and 500m ahead you see birds working!! All I do is open the throttles and get there as fast as I can!! Whilst the other boats first have to pull their Rapala's in, before they can get there!! Needless to say, the first boat to the school normally gets the fish!! Secondly, squids don't tangle easily!! So you spend less time sorting out tangles and more time fishing!! After landing a fish, you simply throw the squid back into the water. With diving type lures, the thrashing of the fish often means that the lure needs tuning, to get it to swim straight again! Once again, fishing time wasted!! If I was allowed only one trolling surface lure, it'll be the green medium sized Yamashita. 9 out of 10 times, it’s the one normally hit first!! My normal spread is 4 squids, of which two will be green Yamashita's and one will be brown and one will be pink. I've also had good success on the tuna runner type squids. We have had good success running all of these above mentioned lures about 1 meter behind a small bird. The bird creates a commotion on the water, attracting the ever-curious yellowtail. Diving lures As mentioned above, I’m not a big fan of them. They how-ever do catch fish, with the new Rapala x- raps working quite well!! Colours, the old red head is a must, Chartreuse, Bunker, Spotted Minnow, Silver Blue Mackerel and Yellowfin tuna are also a VERY good choices!! XRAP 30's: From Top to Bottom: BUNKER CHARTEUSE SPOTTED MINNOW XRAP 20's, slightly smaller than the XRAP 30, and dives a bit shallower. The XRAP 30 dives to 30', which is very roughly 10m deep, whilst the XRAP 20 dives to 20', which is roughly 6-7m deep. Very handy when the fish are holding in shallow area's, becuase your XRAP 30 will get stuck on the bottom. From Top to bottom: Yellowfin Tuna Spotted Minnow Bunker Red Head Storm Lures.

  • Take the Family Fishing
    CATALOGUE 2019-2020 GLOBAL ROUND UP It’s not hard to tell that at Halco we love fishing. We do it a lot and we are inspired by creating great products. The design and creation of lures is not achieved by focus groups, nor surveys, it’s generally driven by Tim and me out fishing and seeing an opportunity for a great new product for the Halco line up. Then I get busy in the design room and with input from the team a new product is born. But it doesn’t end there, we then make it in our factory, test it, fine tune it and catch on it. Only then is it ready to go to market. SLIDOG 150 SLIDOG 125 It’s a fun and rewarding process, but often time consuming and frustrating. This year has seen the design and creation of the Slidog 125 and the Poltergeist 110, both variations of current products but both with their own set of challenges. There’s more on the way too!

  • Pennsylvania Angler (1SSN0O31-434X) Is Published Monthly by Ihe Pennsylvania's Biggest Smallmouth Bass: Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission, 35.12 Walnut Street
    SV,i§- m <.>* V «|3B Pennsylvania Hosts East Coast Trout Managers On June 23-25, 1992, the American Fisheries Society (AFS) and other sponsors held a three-day Trout Culture and Management Workshop at Penn State. The intent of the workshop was fourfold: (1) assess the state of knowledge on the East Coast; (2) develop new working relationships among the states; (3) learn to do jobs more effectively; and (4) encourage the participation of anglers in workshop sessions. In Pennsylvania, the word trout means many things to many people. To sportsmen, it means a variety of fishing opportunities. Fishermen spend over 17 million hours a year fishing for trout on inland waters, making more than 6.7 million annual fishing trips. Commission staff estimates that 5.4 million trout are harvested each year and millions more are caught and released. To the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission and its employees, trout means the kingpin of its many popular programs. Over the past decades the Commission has gained wide recognition for its broad approach to trout management. Its coldwater fish culture system and trout stocking programs lead all but a few states, and its coldwater stream and lake classification system and stocking allocation methods are nationally recognized. The Adopt-a-Stream Program, with its major thrust toward habitat improvement and public access, serves as a model to many. Pennsylvania is also recognized as the nation's leader for its Cooperative Nursery Program, which involves sportsmen directly in the many facets of hatchery creation, operation and fish production. Its bio-engineering approach to solving fishery resource problems has been a leader and the Commission's staff has been active in many professional organizations.
