Getroue lesers Vandeesmaand wil ek n onderwerp aanspreek wat nie direk met hengel as sodanig verband hou nie. Omdat dit egter n baie werklike bedreiging vir talle slagoffers wêreldwyd inhou, dink ek dit regverdig n paar woorde. Hulle sê ervaring is die beste leermeester, maar soms is dit die beste om uit ander mense se ervaring te leer eerder as jou eie. Die volgende insident is n goeie voorbeeld daarvan. Stywe Lyne was onlangs die slagoffer van kubermisdaad, n uiters onaangename voorval om die minste te sê. Al hoe meer misdadigers buit die spoed, gerief en anonimiteit van die Internet uit om n wye reeks uiteenlopende misdade te pleeg wat geen perke ken nie, hetsy fisiek of virtueel. Die wêreld het nog nooit voorheen so n sterk kommunikasienetwerk gehad nie en dit is die eerste keer in menseheugenis dat ons hierdie probleme in die gesig moet staar. Wat ons wel kán doen, is om onsself te onderrig en die regte stappe te doen om ons bestaan te beskerm soos wat ons dit nou ken. Net soos jy nooit jou voertuig sonder motorversekering sal bestuur nie, moet jy poog om nie jou rekenings bloot te stel aan kuberaanvalle deur wagwoorde te gebruik wat maklik ontsyfer kan word of na te laat om die jongste programmatuur te installeer nie. Behalwe dat hulle jou data in gevaar stel, kan kuberkrakers ook jou vriende en familie teiken, ongewenste lêers op jou rekenaar huisves en n groot gat in jou bankrekening maak! Hulle het daarin geslaag om Mark Zuckerberg se facebook-rekening in te dring wat laat jou dus dink joune is veilig? Kuberkrakers gebruik talle dekmantels om jou vertroue te probeer wen. Moenie dat hulle jou flous nie! Wees op jou hoede! Jou beste verdediging is om wakker te loop, op hoogte van sake te bly en goeie oordeel aan die dag te lê. Moenie n slagoffer word nie: Leer hoe om die gevaartekens van swendelary of swendelaars raak te sien voordat dit te laat is. Lesers, die Interpol-webwerf (www.interpol.int/crime-areas/cybercrime/cybercrime) bied uitstekende wenke oor hoe om julself te beskerm. Ek moedig julle aan om alle beskikbare inligting te gebruik om julself, jul besittings en jul kommunikasiekanale te beveilig. George Thiart, Redakteur Loyal readers This month I want to address a topic that is not directly linked to fishing per se, but because it poses a very real threat to numerous victims worldwide, I feel it justifies a few words. They say that nothing beats learning from experience, but sometimes it s best to learn from other people s experience rather than your own. The following incident is a good example of this.

More and more criminals are exploiting the speed, convenience and anonymity of the Internet to commit a diverse range of criminal activities that know no borders, either physical or virtual. Never before has the world been so deeply interconnected and this is the first time in human history we have to deal with these problems. What we can do is to educate ourselves and take the right steps to protect our life as we know it. Just as you would never drive your car without travel insurance, try not to leave your accounts exposed to cyber attacks by using easily hackable passwords or by not installing the latest software updates. Besides compromising your own data, cyber criminals can go on to scam your friends and family, host compromising files on your computer and dig a big hole in your account! They hacked Mark Zuckerberg s facebook account, so what makes you think that yours is safe? Cyber criminals wear many masks to try and earn your trust. Don t be fooled. Be alert! Your best defence is to be aware, educate yourself and use good judgment. Don t fall victim: Learn how to spot the warning signs of a scam or scammer before it s too late. Readers, you can obtain some excellent tips derived from the Interpol website (www.interpol.int/crime-areas/cybercrime/cybercrime) on how to stay safe. I encourage you to use all available information to protect yourself, your possessions and your communication channels.

Ek is mal oor hengel en dis my gunstelingsport. Ek het seker 20 stokke en viskaste asook katrolle gehad voor my ongeluk. Ek is net ná die ongeluk geskei en het al my hengeltoerusting verloor. Sedert die ongeluk is ek in n rolstoel, want ek kan nie loop nie, maar ek het nie my groot liefde vir hengel verloor nie. Ek soek iemand wat bereid is om my toerusting te borg. Ek is baie lief vir karp- asook baarshengel maar het tans nie die regte toerusting om dit te kan doen nie. Ek wil baie graag hengel, want om heeltyd so in die rolstoel te sit en nie veel te doen nie, begin my nou onderkry. Ek hoop en glo iemand kan my help.

Bernhard Becker from Randburg writes: In response to Hannes Ferreira s letter titled Kom ons kanaliseer ons geld in die regte rigting (Tight Lines, Jan 2015 edition), I have the following to say. It is all good to say that those resorts that are not up to standard should be named and shamed and I wholeheartedly agree. This means that I will have to name about 95% of all resorts. We have a beautiful Constitution, which enshrines many of our human rights, but many resorts are not bringing their part to the table, especially when it comes to accommodating people with disabilities. Ablution blocks are small with no grab rails. We cannot get onto the toilets because there is no space next to the toilet and therefore we cannot transfer from the wheelchair across onto the toilet. The shower or bathing facilities are not big enough to allow a wheelchair to get into the showers. At best there are steps, which DECENCY, RESPECT AND DISCIPLINE Clarence Prinsloo from Kriel writes: most of us cannot get up to gain access to the ablutions. In many cases sanitation and cleanliness leaves much to be desired and is at best minimal or even non-existent. The banks along the dams are often in such a state that access to the water is very difficult, especially if you are in a wheelchair. Either the banks are steep, uneven or rocky. Surely, after more than 20 years, resorts should have complied with the Constitution by meeting the needs of the disabled and making provision to accommodate us. Security is another huge problem at most resorts. Many disabled persons are easy targets for criminals. Even able-bodied persons are complaining about crime at resorts. One resort in your magazine even advertises: Overnighting at your own risk. It is high time that resorts start to wake up and smell the kakiebos and do something to cater for disabled persons. Thank you for a good magazine. I try my best to buy one on my meagre pension that I receive. Tight lines to all! I was at Kosi Bay the week before Christmas 2015. I am very concerned about the behaviour of certain people, people who came speeding through the channels. As per Parks rules: Boat speed must be such that it does not make a wake when passing through these channels, not to mention other boaters safety. These people had a nice bass boat full of advert stickers, their clothing full of emblems, and are therefore probably very active in angling. Should these people not set an example? I am just asking Anyway, yes, I am a fisherman who has basic tackle and enjoys fishing and the outdoors.

MY VRIENDE SE VANGSTE Abrie Visser van Kakamas skryf: Goeiedag Stywe Lyne! Ek stuur graag vir julle foto s van die karpe wat my vriende, Corne Ellis en Driaan Basson, op 5 Januarie vanjaar in die Oranjerivier naby Blouputs in die Noord-Kaap gevang het. Ons kon nie die visse weeg nie maar skat die gewig moes tussen 8 kg en 9 kg gewissel het. by n nabye familielid van my (ek sal liewers nie sy naam noem nie!). Volgens die gespokery was dit n bielie van n vis. Die hengelaar het die vis effens te sterk gespeel; daar was otterbossies onder die water waaraan die lyn kon vashaak en ons het reeds n paar visse daar verloor. Ongelukkig het die lyn gebreek kort nadat die foto geneem is en was die vis daarmee heen. Hierdie vis sal by die hengelaar bly spook vir die res van sy lewe! Corne en sy vangs. Driaan en sy spieëlkarp. VIR DIE VOLK Johan Lourens van Theunissen skryf: Al my vriende wat hierdie foto sien, hou vol dat ek dit nie van die volk kan weerhou nie. Ek stuur dit dus om met Stywe Lyne-lesers te deel. Dit wys jou dat n groot vis jou skoon uit jou broek kan baklei, en dat wanneer al jou aandag daar voor op die punt van jou lyn gerig is, broek of geen broek nie saak maak nie! Ek het die foto n paar jaar gelede geneem in die bolope van die Vaalrivier naby Morgenzon, n geelvis-paradys. Die groot grootbek-geles het geloop en ons het alreeds n paar van tot 9 kg gevang en vrygelaat, toe die oupa die hoek vat BRIEWE LETTERS TIGHT LINES The Angler s Friend March 2016 7

Rudolph Venter Vir baie hengelaars is dit n volksvreemde begrip as hulle hoor dat medehengelaars babers met die roep- of kloptegniek vang. Wat behels dit nou eintlik? Gaan staan n mens langs die water en roep: Hier babertjie, hier babertjie, ek het n lekker asie vir jou om te kom proe? Daar is n paar kernelemente wat ons eers moet verstaan alvorens ons hierdie tegniek bespreek. Eerstens, die roep- of kloptegniek is eg Suid-Afrikaans en sover my kennis strek, is dit slegs in Suid-Afrika (en dalk nou in Namibië) waar babers op hierdie manier gevang word. Hierdie tegniek kom al n lang pad en is deur hengelaars soos prof Ben Engelbrecht en Rene Sada ontwikkel. Die tegniek is oorspronklik geskep om skerptandbabers, die algemeenste baber regoor Suid-Afrika sowel as Afrika, te teiken. BABER SE REUK- EN GEVOELSINTUIG Skerptandbabers is baie aggressiewe roofvisse wat graag op voëls, akkedisse, likkewane en insekte sowel as klein en groot visse jag maak. Hulle het egter een groot tekortkoming hul sig is uiters swak! Vervolgens maak hulle baie staat op hul reuk- en gevoelsintuig. Die baber se hele lyf is bedek met sensors wat die geringste vibrasie kan aanvoel. Sy snorbaarde speel n kernrol in die jag van prooi omdat hulle vibrasies kan waarneem. Verder is babers ook geprogrammeer om instinktief te hap na enigiets wat hul middelste snorbaarde aanraak. WAAR KAN EK BABERS MET HIERDIE TEGNIEK VANG? Moggels is n stapelvoedsel vir babers. Gewoonlik kom babers saam met hulle voor. In sekere waters is babers meer aggressief as in ander. n Mens sal dus nie in enige dam of rivier babers met die roepmetode kan vang nie. Daar is wel baie plekke in Suid-Afrika wat ideaal is vir hierdie opwindende tegniek. Om die waarheid te sê, ek het al in sewe van ons nege provinsies en selfs in die Zambezirivier babers met hierdie tegniek gevang. Die beste waters om by te roep, is gewoonlik waar babers groot visse soos karp, moddervis, graskarp of moggels jag. Die meeste damme en riviere in die Vrystaat en Noord-Kaap is uiters geskik om babers met die roepmetode te vang. In die Wes-Kaap werk hierdie tegniek ook goed omdat hierdie babers van die Oranjerivier afkomstig is waar hulle graag groot visse jag. Sekere damme in Noordwes waaronder Bloemhof, Taung, Klipdrift, Klipvoor, Vaalkop, Marico-Bosveld en Olifantsnek is baie bekend vir groot babers wat met die roepmetode aangekeer kan word. Ander damme waar babers ook al op hierdie manier geland is, is Loskop, Arabie, Rhenosterkop, Roodekopjes, Middelburg, Witbank, Allemanskraal, Vanderkloof, Gariep en Jozini. Die hele Vaal- en Oranjesisteem is ook uiters geskik om babers met hierdie tegniek te vang. n Bielie van 18,68 kg wat op n diepte van 2,5 m in een van Vanderkloofdam se inlope geroep is. 8 STYWE LYNE Die Hengelaar se Vriend Maart 2016
