Howzit guys

Could anyone  please tell me where the carp spots are at sandvlei?(safe ones!) What bait etc, I used to fish the pond at Rutter rd 20 odd years ago when there was no weed, caught plenty carp on plain brown bread but I'm guessing times have changed.

Any safe places I can take the kids and still catch carp?

We often go to Paarl Dam, always have success. R20 for adults, R10 for kids per day. You can buy permits at Hooks Tackle Shop in Brackenfell behind KFC. Only problem is that there are no toilet facilities. We fished one of the little ponds in Protea Heights yesterday, caught 2 Carp & 1 Barbel. It's pretty safe & very popular with the kids in the neighbourhood.

I normaly sit in the area marked in Yellow and cast towards the area marked [glow=red]Red[/glow]. Use cinnimon floaties or meilies ,pineapple also works well. The fish herer are all +- 4 to 8 Kg, I have never caught smaller fish then this.

If You look in the top left corner theres a section on the other side of the railway line , We refer to it as rutter dam , you have to drive down rutter road to get there . Not bad fishing there either although I havent been for some time

Carp are still at Rutter road, you also get Bass and Barble there too!

Sit next to the Yacht club where the drain pipe flows into the water.  Cast +- 80 - 100m out there is a canal under water.  TCP is the best bait for sandvlei, it that doesnt work mix 20ml banana and 30 ml TCP guarantee to land your fish
