Best bass spots around Gauteng

[Ryan Joshua]

Hi guys, im new to sealine and i need some advise from the experts.

Im new to bass fishing but i just love the idea and really want to catch my first bass with my new rod.

The places i have been to have not been good at all. I have been to brookwood and rust de winter but no luck. Where is the best place to go around gauteng.

Also any tips on lures and bass fishing tips will be great.

Thanks

Hi Ryan. 

I was landlocked in Jhb for 3 years and I found fishing with a float tube in the homestead lake in benoni worth while.  Some nice bass.  There is also rietvlei in Pretoria, not sure if you can still float tube there.  Pointless trying to fish from the bank with all the carp fishermen.

 

good luck

The best place in Gauteng for non boaters in my opinion is Bass Lake at Henley on Klip, unfortunetaly you will need at least a float tube as there is no access from the bank.  At times the fish can be very shy and they can see you coming from a mile with the crystal clear water.  This venue features alot on the dedicated bass forums and a number of people have caught their 10 pound plus bass here (incl myself).  From time to time it might get crowded and challenging, but it is worth the drive.  Also note that you have to fish barbless and practise C&R if you don't want to forfeit your R250 deposit.  In my books, the best managed bass fishery in Gauteng.
