Editor’s Note
Almost 7 years ago a group of us realised that there was a huge
need for education on a very diverse list of topics in the recreational
fishing sector, from conservation to the simple things like what to
catch where and what to use.
We looked at a variety of options to get our message out to the
average angler on the beach and eventually settled on Facebook,
which offered very simple access and the ability to easily share our
content with other pages and on to personal timelines, thereby
maximising our reach, and so Salt Fishing South Africa was born.
One of the few shortcomings of Facebook though is that topics
are moved down the page very quickly and valuable content gets
shuffled out of sight. Over the last couple of months we have been
looking at a contemporary way to give our members more detailed
articles and tutorials that can easily be referred back to as and
when required.
And so, we have partnered with Vinesh Sogreem of Angling Times,
to bring you the latest and most exciting, new on-line fishing
magazine. We also wanted to get the stories and experiences of
our members out there, so that they could share their journeys into
this amazing world of marine fishing.
In our first edition we bring you Willem Frans Marias’ story about
his passion for artificial lure fishing, a great local destination from
Jefferson Le Roux, a feature on one of the country’s favourite
gamefish - the Garrick and loads more exciting reading.
We will be bringing you a new issue
each month , jam packed with brand
new content from regular guys from
all over the country.
If you have any suggestions or ideas
to help the magazine grow, please

Enjoy the read!
