The Asian Angler July 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English | Page 18

My fellow anglers and friends, This month has been really quite exciting with the world cup fever hitting hard on many of us. The zombie apocalypse can be seen with many fellow football fans walking around with little sleep. Maybe, that could be the reason why the flu virus went into high gear afflicting so many. Lack of sleep also equals lower immune systems. Last month was the month of the Angling And Outdoor Recreation Fair 2014 in Shah Alam. It was an event that brough anglers from all over to one meeting point and I met and caught up with lots of long unseen freinds. There were lots to see as fishing tackle distributors showed off their capabilities and future launches. 2015 will be a very exciting year for fishing with crazy gears to play with. A big chunk of this issue is dedicated to the above mentioned fair sharing with you what we saw, what we liked, what we did, and what we thought to be interesting. If only the more big names took part, this fair would have been a super blast. As parents that fish I am sure you would like your kids to share your hobby. I certainly do as fishing is not only a healthy sport but a sport where knowledge about nature, the environment, etc. is gained. We at The Asian Angler encourage you to take your kids fishing and we have started a section dedicated to junior anglers. Read what our junior angler and reporter shared in this issue. We will do what we can to get more kids hooked on fishing. Enjoy this month’s issue and Salam Ramadhan dan Selamat Berpuasa to all our muslim friends. Thank you anf happy fishing. Cheers, Phil Editor In Chief
