VAN DIE OEWER / FROM THE BANK Welkom een en almal by ons September uitgawe! Die hoop beskaam nie dat die weer hierdie jaar mooi saamspeel en dat hierdie maand al die eienskappe van heerlike lenteweer tentoonstel! Weg van die weer af ons kan in elke geval niks daaromtrent doen nie behalwe om gedweë ons hengellewens daarby aanpas, is daar sekere gebeure wat ons hengel leefwyse werklik raak, en, jammer daaroor, dit is nie in sigself hengelgerei nie, of die eintlike fisiese aksie om te gaan hengel nie, maar die natuurlike omgewing waarin ons hengel homself afspeel. Nee, dis nie (alweer!) n hol-geryde gesanik oor die regering se wanbestuur van ons waterbronne nie, maar wel n positiewe gebeurtenis (die oorsprong daarvan is wel die regering se wanbestuur, maar toemaar) waarmee ek myself en die tydskrifte waarvoor ek werk heeltemal kan vereenselwig. Dit is niks anders nie as n vrywillige burger organisasie met sterk hengelverbintenisse wat nou daadwerklik tot die redding gaan kom van besoedelde hengelwaters. Die vonk was n video wat meneer Johan de Klerk (terloops hy is n Protea varswaterhengelaar) wat op die Vaalrivier naby Parys bly einde Julie op sosiale media versprei het. Ek reken dis nie nodig om hier te beskryf wat die video alles wys nie soos wat ek gebel was dink ek alle lesers het dit gesien! behalwe om te sê dat almal met afgryse en woede gevul was. Net n week later is die Vaal Action Group (VAG), oftewel die Vaal Aksiegroep gestig met sy webtuiste in plek (www.vaalactiongroup. co.za) en talle vrywilligers wat hul ondersteuning aangebied het. Die VAG se onmiddellike oogmerk behalwe om die besoedeling in die Vaalrivier stop te sit, is om soveel lede as moontlik te werf en om soveel mense in die land en elders bewus te maak van die haglike toestande van nie net die Vaalrivier nie, maar van al ons waterweë. Daarna volg rehabilitasie en monitering om dit in die toekoms te voorkom. Lidmaatskap is oop vir almal wat die belange van ons waterweë op die hart dra daar is geen beperking op ras, geloof of politieke affiliasie nie. Tewens VAG werk met enige ander organisasie saam om die doelstellings te bereik, naamlik skoon riviere en damme. Om die VAG inisiatief te ondersteun, besoek asseblief die webtuiste en sluit aan dit kos niks! www.vaalactiongroup.co.za. *Ander organisasies is ook met die Vaalrivier se probleme doenig die SAVE groep is al maande met die Emfuleni munisipaliteit haaks, terwyl die burgerorganisasie AfriForum die rivier met chemikalieë vroeg in Augustus sou behandel het. With the Vaal River currently taking centre stage in our bank angling world for all the wrong reasons, I m sorry to say! - please don t forget about World Cleanup Day taking place this month on Saturday the 15th. All the details are on page 34 Plastic is the main culprit, and I will be happy to publish any tips that readers may have on how to minimize your use of plastic see my address at bottom of page. In this issue I also publish the first in a series to recognize and garner support for our Freshwater Protea teams that will be fishing in the 2019 World Games. Our local competitive angling bodies can feel well proud that South Africa was chosen as a host nation for several World Championship events! Meanwhile my best wishes for a truly Spring start to the rest of the angling year, and as always, Take Care. Eugene C. Kruger Hoofredakteur/Editor-in-Chief * Comments are welcome.

LESERS KOMPETISIES Vat my seblief saam Jong Oewerhengelaarskompetisie It s Cool It s funky It s the MIAS Benoni teen photo competition. If YOUR photo is chosen as a monthly winner you win a K3 LED Lenser torch PLUS a Spinning Reel. All you have to do is send in a photo of yourself with your freshwater catch, any species, any size, but we want to see how much you enjoy going fishing! NB the only way to enter is to: E-mail your photo plus angler s details (incl. date of birth and tel. number) to: editor@thebankangler.com, marked Teen Comp. TEEN PHOTO COMPETITION WENNER Jano Meyer (6 jaar) is die wenner hierdie maand van die gelukkige trekking. Hy wen dus die Ultraflex 8 stok en n Extreme Baitfeeder 400 katrol, n spoel lyn en n hengelpet. Hierdie pragtige pryse word geskenk deur die welwillendheid van RAPALA/VMC Suid- Afrika, die verspreiders van STORM, SHIMANO en CONOFLEX hengelgerei. Arno van Wyk (15 jaar) is die wenner van die gelukkige trekking hierdie maand. Hy skryf: Want dis mos wat n tiener seun doen as hy eintlik moet leer vir eksamen! Op Woensdagmiddag, 6 Junie het ek saam met my broer en n vriend, Brian besluit om bietjie te ontspan van die boeke en by die CR Swartdam in Benoni te gaan hengel vir swartbaars. Intussen haak ek toe hierdie baber van 14kg op n medium-grootte crankbait. Dit was n lekker harde bakleiery, veral op my spinning visstok met net 14-pond lyn. My pa kom toe tot my redding met die skepnet en het amper van die klippe in die dam ingegly tydens die skep proses, maar uiteindelik het ons die vis aan die kant waar ons die hoek verwyder het en die vis veilig teruggelaat het. Groete. * Apart from the fact that the only fixed rule of this competition is that entrants must be within the age range (which is why we must have your date of birth) is that we will not accept any entry that shows a dead fish, or where the fish is being mishandled in any way whatsoever. Otherwise - it s any freshwater species, any size, caught off the bank and the angler must try and show how he or she enjoys freshwater bank angling! Go for it! Open ONLY to teenage readers (age 15 to 21) Sy pa, Ollie, skryf: Hi daar, my seuntjie, Jano het hierdie mooi karp self gevang en ook sy lyn self ingegooi. Hy is baie trots op sy eerste self Karp van 2kg. Ek het net geskep. Dit was by Die Hoek in Bloemhof op Perdeby Floatie en FX op die bol. Fotos van vis wat van n lipgripper -tipe skaal of aan n hoek hang, of met vingers in die oë of kiewe sal nie geplaas word nie. Leer asseblief ons jong hengelaars om n vis met twee hande vas te hou vir n foto. Baie dankie. Red. 08 DIE OEWERHENGELAAR SEPTEMBER 2018
