Myself a used to be Roodepoorter, but had to move .Fished plenty in skinners and Hamberg , Hamberg , Big Carp- Skinners bigger Barbel. Platties and worm combo worked well.
Princess dam 2 Km away from Skinners plenty of barbel , used to use plastic frogs on fly rig and man was that a fight.
Unfortunately there is danger in fishing at those dams at night!!!!!!!But as they say "elke sport het sy beseerings"
Remember to chum up early , Mince chicken hearts , chicken livers etc. As "groundbait" .
