Hi all,

This is a great thread, but sadly only applies to Gauteng region? It should rather be called "Known bass fishing venues in GP". Nevertheless it is a good idea and format.

Was wondering if we can start a similar thread for Western Cape venues? It will just make the searches for venues and spots much easier if divided in threads for respective provinces...

Maybe the admins can give feedback regarding this...?

when i went to look at i the other day, it looked good for bass, so im very keen to give it a try... when i wanted to get in tho, the security said we need to keys or be part of the bird watching club, but when i spoke to the club chairman- he had resigned and the whole thing is floarting around helplessly and no1 knows where the keys are....

bassist do u have keys to access it ? i would really like to give it a try sometime...

also have you herd of the dam in parkveiw (opposite of pta east hospital), it is any good?

we went to homestead last weekend, and caught two fish and missed one... the grass is dying out- i think cus of the tempreture change? but i still like the place, i know lots of people here are not fans, but its quite nice if you have a boat to fish the opposite bank by the houses and the scout club...

No fishing allowed from the yacht club or scout club.. you going to need a float tube or a little boat with a trolling motor. If you going to try off the sides then the dam wall is good and around the outlet, apparently. We have not had any luck there.
