i think there is bass in many dams that people dont know of.cause if people say there is no bass no one will try catching bass!my friend tried bassing at klerksdorp dam and manage to get one only
we went to the owner and he said its the first time he ever saw that coming out of the dam.he was stunned!could not believe it

Hi Stiffmyster
There are Bass all the way down the Vall river and some in the orange as low as Upington, that I know about and they are definitely doing very well in Bloemhoff dam. Its one of the better kept secrets. In December you want to be fishing any main lake points with structure mid morning to mid afternoon and in the bays early morning and late afternoon.

thanks for the reply.do you maybe have a map for me where in the vaal i can find bass?i live very close to the vaal river in orkney
Hi Stiffmyster
The thing about fishing the vaal river is it's best done from a boat as you generally need to flip a texas rigged worm into the trees to catch the fish. it is possible to catch them from the side but you need to find a combination of structure (Willow trees) in slack water, prefrably on shale or corse sand. these can be found next to any area that may have rocks on the bank that drop off into the water.
Send me a google position of approximately where you stay and ill google the area and give you a few ideas.

I have seen plenty bass in the 3-4.8kg in the nets off the commercials in the Vet river leg of the dam.
Fishing in the area East of Bamboes spruit I have got a few nice bass 1.5 to 2.4kg off the rocky outcrops.
There is definitely a healthy population of bass there and targeting them specifically you are going to get good fish.
I've even caught them in the wier section below the dam wall while spinning for Yellowfish.
