Tuesday, 27 July 2010 00:00 Cynthia Theron

Having got this far with your interest in Circle hooks, let's make sure that the hooks that you are interested in using are in fact true Circle Hooks. There are some hook patterns that are occasionally sold as 'cirlces', but are really 'Kahle' hooks, and these renown for their 'deep-hooking' abilities; the opposite of what we wish with our 'Circles'!

Beginners Guide To Kayak Fishing

Kayak fishing is fishing from a kayak. The kayak has long been a means of transportation and a means of accessing fishing grounds. Kayak fishing has gained popularity in recent times.

History

Kayaks were originally developed by indigenous people living in the Arctic regions, who used the boats to hunt on inland lakes, rivers and the coastal waters of the Arctic Ocean, North Atlantic, Bering Sea and North Pacific oceans. These first kayaks were constructed from stitched animal skins such as seal stretched over a wooden frame made from collected driftwood, as many of the areas of their construction were treeless. Archaeologists have found evidence indicating that kayaks are at least 4000 years old.[1] The oldest still existing kayaks are exhibited in the North America department of the State Museum of Ethnology in Munich.

Fishing the Wild Coast

Thursday, 10 June 2010 11:12 Stefano Schoonees

The lack of coastal development and the sheer rugged beauty earned this 300-mile stretch of the Africa coast its name ``The Wild Coast", and it is one of the prime fishing destinations in South Africa.

Home to South Africa's second largest ethnic clan, the Xhosa, with the Pondo tribe in the northeastern section, this coastal stretch features a wide variety of fish and fishing conditions. The tribes had little effect on the marine resources of this coast for many years, other than shellfish. However, recent times have seen over-exploitation of oyster, abalone and rock lobster populations by commercial operations. New legislation is in the pipeline to facilitate proper management of all marine resources in the Transkei, with special emphasis being placed on maintaining the tourist angler trade into the future.
