Ons week van PB's  Na 'n jaar se swak hengel en baie werk het ek en vroulief Estelle besluit om ordentlik te gaan hengel. Die teiken was om ons 2 jaarlange PB's te gaan verbeter. Albei ons vorige PB's kom uit Harties uit, myne 10.60 en Stella sin 7.3 Kg. Ons het 2 keuses gehad, Tzaneen dam of Donaldson. Na baie inligting wat ons op Anglershaven gekry het, het ons besluit op Donaldson. Wat 'n gesukkel was dit nie om n plek daar te kry nie, verskonings op verskonings en uiteintlik kry ek swem no 4. Aangesien ons nog nooit by die venue was nie moes ek weer n paar tips soek vir die swim. Dankie tog vir Anglershaven, wat ons goeie en waardevolle inligting verskaf het. Voorbereinings het begin en particles is gekook en so aan. n Dag voor vertrek besluit my kar se clutch plaat om te gaan “jis maar die duiwel is lustig”. . . . . . . . . . . . . . LEES MEERWestern Cape. Voelvlei dam results The competition hosted at Voelvlei Dam in the Western Cape was an overnight competition which commenced 12h00 Saturday 30th – 12h00 Sunday 31st January. The gate was open from 8am-12pm, with registration between 8am – 10am. Competitors were not allowed to enter the angling zone at any stage prior to the competition.The prizes where for the most fish caught based on a point system. Points were, 3 points Barbel, 2 points Carp and 1 point Tilapia. No other fish species would qualify. The prizes were 1st prize R4000, 2nd prize R3000, 3rd prize R2000 and 4-6 prize R1000 each. There were 44 teams with a maximum of 3 anglers per team. Approximately 150 people at the dam, including guests. Entry fee was R400 per team with an additional R20 gate fee per head, including guests. Each team was allocated 30m within to fish – this seems to be an acceptable space. The number of fish caught amounted to 2342. A portion of the fish caught were taken by private dam owners to replenish their stock. The remainder of the fish were donated to an underprivileged non-European community in Sarel. 1st Prize - Albertus van der Merwe Team 2nd Prize – Bernie Keown Team 3rd Prize – Freddie Swart Team 4th Prize – Jac Bester Team 5th Prize – Raymond Olivari Team 6th Prize – Mark Horstman Team   Weather-wise: Hot and windless in the mornings with quite a brisk wind in the afternoon up until about 7pm that evening, thereafter minimal wind throughout the night. A good time was had by all, with anglers going home feeling “fished out”!! We are planning another competition in a month or two time, hopefully at Brandvlei, so we would like to encourage all anglers (professional or social) to participate so that we can bring Western Cape up to the same level as Gauteng. We can only achieve this objective through active participation of all anglers. So thank you to you Derek for supporting us in the way that you have been by advertising our competitions – so very appreciated. Warm regards Barbara P.S. I have heard that there are going to be approx 2million small mouth Bass released into Voelvlei soon. Image Gallery We now have a new image gallery available.

The Rules More Info Send Email Enquiry Making your own boilies Making boilies is not as difficult as some anglers would have you believe. Although ready-made or shelf life boilies are extremely effective and do catch a great number of carp, making boilies will improve your catches, save you money and can be fun. Many serious carp anglers would not consider using ready mades and insist on making their own. Their argument being that by using only fresh ingredients, which will be more acceptable to the carp, your catch rates will increase dramatically. The other argument in favour of home made boilies is of course cost. Making a reasonable sized batch of your own boilies, especially if you share the cost with a friend, can save a good deal of expense, and once you have some of the basic tools and flavours in stock, they become increasingly cheaper with each batch.So here is a quick guide to get you started in the art of boilie making. With practice you will soon be making baits that those carp just can't resist. What you need The basic ingredients of any boilie are a good base mix, ½ a dozen eggs, flavourings, colourings and maybe sweetener. You will also find the job a lot easier if you have available a bait gun and a rolling table. Although these are not essentials, they will save a lot of time . . . . . . . . . . . .Read More
