Hey, me and a couple of fishing buddies are considering to go to buffelspoort dam for a week of fishing , however we do not know a thing about the dam..
Questions I would like answered is as follows:

- Camping spots
-Camping costs
-Fish species
-Security and facility
-Bank fishing

Is it worth going at the moment, or at anytime at all. We would mainly want to focus on fish species like ( Barbel, Carp, bass ) . Also I would like to know, is the bank fishing good enough?

Thank you for any replies, would be much appreciated.

Regards:fswim

Sure...

Well nice dam, not realy big but there are big fish in there.. when we arrived a guy had pulled out a 13 KG carp and 3 barbel.

We stayed 3 nights in total. Trying for carp we managed to get 3 bites but we were not able to land the fish, however we cought 3 barbel off carp bait. The dam has ALOT of barbel. We tried to catch some bass aswell and managed to catch one small one. My opinion on the dam: nice camping grounds, not as much grass and weeds decent size fish, overall good choice if you choose to go.

Bait used: Caramel tigernuts and caramel mielies (3 barbel)

                  Zoom Baby bass super flukes (1 bass)

Costs: R130 for 6 people for a night excluding electricity

Very nice shower and toilet facilities compared to other dams, Plus good security.

If you want to know more specifics, ill do my best to answer.:fishn
