Bassing during these floods - please help

[ants]

Hi Guys. We've got a conference at Emerald this week end. Is it worth while to take a bass rod or two with with the river coming down so strongly. Wo'nt the bass possibly seek out the calmer bays where I might stand a chance with a spinner bait or dark silhoette  plastic??

Hi ants

This reply might be too late. Fishing for bass in the vaal is going to be very tough from the bank ( i assume you not going with a boat - due to conference trip as mentioned above)?

You will be limitted from the bank, the floods down there is also going to affect the fishing and the water clariity will become even worst than it normally is.

believe it or not, the bass are hiding in shallow structure. @ emerald on boatramp. also the little "ponds"
Baitfish are hiding from the strong current and we've got some small bass in the still water.Try white spinner bait, Zarra Puppy and dark plastics
