Thanks Bassist

definately looks like place worthe going. do you by any chance have any tips for either of these dams, i mainly do bank angling and would like to go get some new kit this weekend but have no clue where to start

FP, for Vasfontein pleas call Isak for gps points, 0833330324. Danie has some nice venues, but the bass is too easy to catch and it is not that friendly a venue/s if you want to take your wife or daughter for the day. Vasfontein have clean toilets, more than one braai place and nice parking. PM me and I will try to give some directions.

Personally I think footloose is only good for trout.

there is bass, not easy but nice...if you know where and how

 

[lyslexic]

There's also carp but I found it's prob more easier for me to get pregnant than catch one

is this the guy from bass o mania.. it will be me and a mate we really have like no experience in the bass fishing and our kit consists of a few cranks and plastics.

 

[AYOBA!]

yes, Danie, a bit pricy but worth every cent, hope you catch a lunker and remember to report back........
:fst:

junebug in any shape and size, if the wind is strong use rattletraps....

 

[captain nemo]

watermelon gold normally works quite well there two.

 

[bassist11]

Fish plastics wheightless or with a small mojo or texas.
Watermelon colours and junebug will do the job.

fishing report ?

 

[Fishing Palace]

hey guys thank you so much for all the info and have been rather ill so sorry for the late report.. due to the extremely windy weater on sunday and the wonderful timing of a stomach bug we decided to fish a little closer to home and spent the morning at murray park.

after the advice we armed ourselves with junebug and watermelon flukes and set off.. needless to say i had a puncture in my float tube and had to try and climb into my mates canoe in the middel of the dam... not so easy when you are both pissing yourself with laughter..

once we got going again with half deflated float tube in tow we managed to find a few small schools of bass on the far side just off the dam wall. we manged to only get two bass for the day but had a great time and an extremely long and tiresome row back across the dam in gale force winds..


we are planning an outing hopefully in two weeks to bass o mania weather permitting and look forward to a funfilled outing

 

[AYOBA!]

COOL...

Me and Fanie had a quick unplanned outing yesterday afternoon at Vasfontein....
