My brother in-law Cyclops caught this dude at blaauwpan in kempton.. Just helping uploading the pic for him.

You must tell your brother in law Cyclops that a fluke like that is not suppose to be on this site, he did not even use lures or anything he was lucky enough to get this on the retrieve of a carp rod on a float, but then again I have fished with him a couple of times and I must say I have not seen a luckier fisherman than him.

Nice Bass there Cyclops I am impressed

Nice ! I assume bass are not really a target for fisherman in Blaauwpan?

 

[Tomson]

apparently he was just reeling his line in and it had a floatie on too. So It must have look good as it went past the bass:merm:lol:1

 

[Tomson]

dawid2005 he needs to come bring his luck to the cape for bit. That's a hint Cyclops so we can have again

 

[Cyclops]

Hey tomson I would love to go down to the cape again but as you know I dont have much luck down there . I dont think the fish in those ponds like us Vaalies too much.  hahaha

 

[Cyclops]

I mean dont like us vaalies too much...:lol:1

At this time of the year Bass are positioning for spawning .. this means that they are quite territorial and will thus defend wherever they may nest... a passing floatie was just on the wronk end of this Bass' house..

I normally use this tactic this time in homestead and the dam next to it.. using a surface popper "harassing" bass where i see them .. 9/10 they will do a chase on the first .. and then bite on the second cast..
