[tiaan123]

Thanks guys but like kaptein says no bass fights like them and its sooo rewarding catching 1 there really like that dam a bit hard to fish but like u can see it pays off..have tried top waters ayoba but no luck yet i only had luck on fluke and soft baits and seem like they like green pumpkin well this 1 did

 

[tiaan123]

Oh and we sould do a group to go fish there wil be fun

I was there last friday 5 30 till 6 45 missed strikes X2 and hooked a fattie but threw the hook all on topwater dying flutter

 

[AYOBA!]

what time does the gate close?

 

[waterdog]

7 pm... I wasn't sure about the bass was actually trying for barbel saw something harrasing the coots while bird watching a week before. guess there are loads in there now! Very good news for a ninja fishing session.

 

[AYOBA!]

that's good news

maybe I should try my roepstok as well?

 

[waterdog]

Load of cats but bank is very gradual not sure u will get enough distance but give it a go! Next time u there go to maruis dam bird hide u will see monster used to been fed! Nice clip on youtube. With I could drop a lure in there

 

[AYOBA!]

I saw that clips! crazy...

 

[AYOBA!]

which side do you normal fish?

next time you see a golden colored NP200 with canopy come over and have a chat

do you wade? and how deep?

 

[waterdog]

Don't go often.. but ill keep and eye out. I'm in a green ranger. Didn't wade still had work kit on but I'm suspect of wading apparently there are hippos and crocs. Never seen a hippo so not to concerned but I don't trust a Croc. Fish camping side but I think if u book a chalet u get that whole bank to fish instead of trying to cast at limited space between the guys skieting pap. As u go in the tail of the dam looks the best but always taken by 3 on friday

 

[tiaan123]

Hi i always wade there for the distance

 

[AYOBA!]

the croc's and hippo's are always on the other side, never heard or seen one on the camping side

 

[bronze back]

Just checking, are you allowed to use a kickboat or float tube there?

 

[AYOBA!]

nope

 

[waterdog]

Fished sat afternoon for a couple hours nice bass on second cast and that was it..

 

[IrfaanC]

Anybody been here lately?

 

[AYOBA!]

nope....work work work...

 

[Van De Jager]

Fished the dam on the 5th of Jan, caught 6 in a two hour morning sesion and 2 in the afternoon, nothing over 1.5 kg's. The weather was great compared to what we are getting now, same goes for the fishing.

 

[IrfaanC]

Nice one man, what did you use? And which side were you fishing?

 

[Van De Jager]

The day angler side, in the gullies with the reeds on the sides, wade in until the edge of the reeds and cast in to the centre or across the gully, 30 m from the bank should do it. Remember blue skies and calm water is key, the fish in the dam have changed their behavior and prefer to take baits early in the morning. Good luck.:fishn
