Howzit all,
I had to do some work up at Vredendal today and had some spare time on the way back to Cape Town to check out Clanwilliam and Bulshoek dams as well as the lower Doring and Olifants.
Well the weather is still as cold as a witches tit but that has not detered the smallmouth bass from ending their winter hybernation. The Doring and Olifants rivers are flowing strongly but are way cleaner than last year this time. The bass on the Doring came on the bite as early as 2 weeks ago, so I'm assuming that the spotted bass in the Olifants may also be waking up.
I also happened to chat to 2 chaps at Bulshoek dam that were fishing near the side from their bass boat. They had only been on the water for an hour and had already caught 3 fish by the time that I chatted to them.
I'm sure that the Clanwilliam dam is on, with some of the Cape Town bassers being able to give you a more accurate assessment of the dam at this present time.
Well to all the Cape Town bassers and any prospective visitors out there, get out there and fish!
