Uit die Voorsitter se pen / Note from the chairman:

Wat ŉ wonderlike hengeljaar was 2011 nie……. Baie geluk aan al die hengelaars wat die jaar die klub en die provinsie verteenwoordig het. In die Nasionale kampioenskappe wat nou in November plaasgevind het, het Paul Whitaker en Jaco Jordaan tweede geëindig in die “game fish” afdeling, en Jan Joubert met sy skipper Eben Basson, het derde geëindig in die “Heavy Tackle Billfish” afdeling. Edwin Freeman, Leon Potgieter, Sybrand v Vuuren, Wayne Wiid en Henry de Pradines het in die “Light Tackle Billfish” afdeling gehengel . Wayne Huddleston het SADSAA Masters verteenwoordig en tweede geëindig Dankie aan my komitee vir al hulle harde werk deur die jaar en ook aan die Onderberg en Inhaca komitees vir hulle reëlings. Aan al die borge van die verskillende kompetisies ŉ baie groot dankie, sonder julle bydraes sou die kompetisies nie moontlik gewees het nie. Ons innige simpatie met tannie Susan van Rooyen en kinders met die afsterwe van Oom Koos, hy was een van die stigterslede van die NDHK en sal gemis word. ŉ baie Geseënde Kerstyd aan almal, mag 2012 vir julle baie vreugde en geluk bring.

Hengelaars terugvoering / Anglers feedback:

Die Billfish 15000 Dit was weer daardie tyd van die jaar, en 'n heerlike 3 weke van hengel het voorgelê het. Die OET kompetisie was weereens 'n groot sukses en ek kan met trots sê dat dit 'n eer en voorreg was om vir die soveelste jaar te kon deelneem. Met 6 Marlyne agter my naam vir die week, glo ek nie daar kan enigsins gekla word nie. Die Billfish 15000 het aangebreek en die hengelaars is begroet met 'n reënbui. Die openings aand is die hengelaars verras met die optrede van die Can-Can girls wat op die verhoog 'n paar dans passies gemaak het. Dit het beslis die manne se aandag getrek. Die formaliteite is afgehandel en almal is daar weg om te gaan regmaak vir die week se groot hengel. Die weer het mooi saamgespeel, en soos met die OET, was ons gesëend met sonskyn en mooiweer afgesien van die 1 dag wat die wind ons vroeg van die see af geblaas het. Die komitee het toe maar besluit die manne moet terug om 'n bietjie keel nat te maak. Die week het einde se kant toe gestaan en die voorlopers “Ocean-Commotion” en “Sea Ducer” was kop aan kop. Dit was 'n titaniese stryd tussen die twee bote. Garth McGee en sy span het 5 Marlyne en 1 seilvis op die telbord gehad. Dit het vir hulle 'n tweede plek in die kompetisie besorg, met “Ocean-Commotion” wat in die eerste plek geëindig het en “Real Passion” in die derde plek. Baie geluk Garth, julle manne het gekook! Daar is 'n totaal van 134 snawelvis gevang en vrygelaat vir die week (wat ook 'n moontlike wêreld rekord mag wees). Dit is vir my 'n riem onder die hart om te kan sê dat 97% van die snawelvis weer vrygelaat is. Dit was 'n baie goed georganiseerde kompetisie en die hengelaars het dit baie geniet. Daar is sprake van 'n eersteprys van 1 miljoen volgende jaar… Sien uit daarna om julle volgende jaar weer daar te sien. Hengel groete Jaco Jordaan RECORDS OFFICIAL NDAC / REKORDSBEAMPTE NDHK

SODWANA BAY OET 2011 BILL AND GAME FISH COMPETITION

LOCAL LADS FROM NELSPRUIT AND DISTRICT ANGLING CLUB COME FIRST IN THE TAG AND RELEASE SECTION

The annual migration down to Sodwana Bay took place last week by all the local deep sea angling fishermen and women. As the local club, we are proud to say that Nelspruit and District Angling Club (NDAC) was represented by no less than 16 ski boats and crew. The competition attracted its normal capacity of 85 boats and so began a historic week of fishing off the Kwa Zulu Natal coast. One of two line classes can be nominated, namely 10kg and 37kg line class. The heavier line class (37kg) obviously needed for the avid marlin anglers and usually the lighter line class (10kg) for the more general gamefish. With more and more pressure being put on our fish stocks, this competition has placed a huge focus on the tagging and releasing of billfish with the support of many of the big sponsors. Needless to say, from day 1 of the competition, it was clear that this was going to be a week to remember. 25 Billfish were released in the first day and there was still 4 more days to go. As the week progressed, every last angler was astonished at the amount of billfish being caught and tagged on a daily basis. What is the reason for this seemingly influx of fish on the Natal coast? Well, no one really knows, but some have speculated that the Somalian pirates have chased the long line fishing vessels away from the east african coast line only to improve our fish stocks and the migratory patterns. The fantastic fishing week was over all too soon and after the careful sums were added up, everyone rejoiced at the fact that well over 100 marlin and sailfish were released back into the sea to swim free again. The marlin prize was won by the boat Skybird after they landed a marlin weighing in at 126,2kg and this being caught on the light 10kg class tackle. The weighmaster confirmed the weight of the fish and the fact that the 10kg class tackle used to accomplish this task conformed in all respects to the IGFA (International Game Fish Association) tackle rulings applicable in this tournament. The biggest fish of the competition was caught on the lastday of the event, a 280kg black marlin by Polla Cranko fishing aboard a Nelspruit Boat called Pretender. According to the points system this fish earned them a second place in the marlin category. The Tag and Release section was won by our local lads from Nelspruit on the boat B’s Nest skippered by Protea angler Bradley Kidd after they managed to tag and release 4 marlin all on the light 10kg line class. This historic fishing competition will again be held next year for the 35th time, with the hopes of even greater fishing stories. Well done to all the anglers, skippers and crew from Nelspruit and District Angling Club that took part in this event.

Drie Faset SADSAA NasionaleKampioenskappeteSodwana

21 – 25 November 2011

Daar was 25 bote in totaal. Roofvis 6, ligtegerei-snawelvis 8, en 11 swaargerei-snawelvis. Met die opening seremonie, Sondag, het ons ,volgens die weervoorspelling, geweet dat dit ‘n moeilike week gaan wees. Maandagoggend, 04h45, las ons die dag af as gevolg van ‘n sterk noordooste wind. Die middag by die inweeg, weeg ons toe maar die swaarste hengelaar in ‘n span…Dinsdag om 04h15 kanselleer ons die dag as gevolg van ‘n te sterk suidweste wind. Met die aanbreek van Woensdagoggend waai die wind nog redelik sterk, maar die weer komitee besluit dat dit nie onveilig is nie en die toernooi begin in alle erns. Daar word gehengel tot 15h00. In die Marlyn afdeling laat SADSAA-Meesters 2 Marlyne vry, Limpopo laai ‘n vis wat 227kg weeg. Suid-Gauteng en Mpumalanga laat elk ‘n Blou Marlyn vry en Noordelike-Gauteng haak ‘n Seilvis wat hulle vrylaat. In die Seilvis-afdeling vang SADSAA en SADSAA- Meesters elk ‘n Seilvis wat hulle vrylaat. Daar het ook ‘n paar mooi roofvisse uitgekom in die roofvis-afdeling. Donderdag is ons weer see toe maar 08h15 las ons die dag af. Die ander Suid-Gauteng span laat ‘n Marlyn vry en SADSAA-Ligtegerei laat hulle tweede Seilvis vry. Ongelukkig was dit die laaste van die toernooi. Ons het Vrydag 12h00 die prysuitdeling gehou en meeste van die hengelaars het daarna huiswaarts gekeer. Die volgende spanne het medaljesontvang:

Marlynafdeling: SADSAA Meesters; Limpopo; Mpumalanga

Seilvisafdeling: SADSAA; Suid-Gauteng

Roofvis: Suid-Gauteng; Mpumalanga; SADSAA
