bass advice needed

[boerrie]

hi guys

im usually a rock and surf angler but i have the opportunity to do some bass fishing up in lydenburg. i was wondering if you guys could give me a heads up on lures. i have caught bass up there before but it was so long ago that i can only remember catching them on a fly that we made from a few feathers, cotton unpicked from my t-shirt and the gold foil from an amstel bottle.

as times have changed and so has my ability to buy terminal tackle im looking for something that will be guaranteed to produce.

also what will the effect of all the rain have had on the fishing.

your input will be greatly appreciated.

regards

boerrie

Super Flukes - Watermelon
Senko's - Watermelon
Spinner Baits

Those are all reasonably cheap lures but very effective.

Spending a bit more money you could try:

Rapala - Dark green top, white stomache
Rattle Trap - Dark top, white stomache
Chatterbait - If there's not too much structure (dives deep).

Salmo Hornet size 4-6 in most colours will get you fish most of the time.

I don't know if Braam Raubenheimer Dam is still called by that name but the Black Zara Spook worked there.
