bassing in Edenvale

[Freds1980]

Hey guys, seeing that I stay and work in and near Edenvale and desperately need to work on my bassing skills I have been doing some reading up with regards to locations one can pop out to in the afternoons to get a few hours in.

The following two pop up but with very little information.

Please if any one can help, please be so kind to give more details with regards to the following locations.

Dowerglen Dam behind Grandslams
Edenvale Quarry (is it still open and safe to use?)

Thank you guys.

Ok quick report back.

Did a quick 2 hours at Dowerglen,

First of save and stunning looking place few other guys fishing, Carp was jumping and they looked a good size.

Did not see a single bass. Water levels are so low, compared to other pictures i found of others fishing it in the past i can easily say the levels where an easy 1m lower...

I got nothing i'm just going to put it down to not know anything as yet about catching bass..

I tried fish a weightless fluke, no 3 size hook , just cause i had nothing smaller , and only starting out now.

But in anyway there we go, ill just keep going once a week, its on my way home ... And just try....

Well quick up date hopefully it will help any other newbies... welcome the struggle is real.

Hi Freds1980

Blaauwpan is also an option. It is in the Kempton park area.
I recently moved to JHB from the coast, and started bass fishing. Only been out 3 times, all at Blaauwpan.
Tried some soft frogs, worms and surface lures.
Only had some luck on the 3rd try with a spinner, hooked a small one.

Will try Dowerglen next time.
