Yes there's kurper in the water and some big ones aswell, this piece of water likes to be fished slow, no slower than that, and casts made to the same spot for a lot more than the usual, fan casting method and then moving on to another spot/place.
I think I will make a turn there tomorrow afternoon, today I am going to see whats happening at Vasfontein, last time I was there I was pleasantly suprised with a 2kg bass, today I want to see if I can hook some of those blues with curly tails, if I get a bass it will be a bonus.

Went there this afternoon from 3:30 till about 5:30. There were couples sitting at all the good spots i wanted to fish, but not a single guy fishing. First time i'd seen that at struben.
Anyway got there and started fishing my senko at the ablution facilities, came up with nothing not even a bite, moved just to the right of the willow tree on the opposite end of the dam and managed to get a decent bite that almost stole my senko off the hook. Then 3 casts after the bite one came all the way up to the reeds after my senko and splashed around the water just as my senko came out the water.
About 5 casts later my line got stuck in the same reeds but i managed to get one hooked... couldnt set the hook cos of the tangled line and it got away, was about 400grams.
Finally moved to the outlet got about 4 casts out reeled in the last one and the senko was bitten in half... or so I think. Was fishing it weightless so was difficult to detect bites but i didnt feel anything. The senko wasnt bitten clean off either, seems more like a rip. The senko didnt get snagged or anything on retrieval, didnt feel a thing. After that i took a picture and went home before i sacrificed another senko.

Hahaha, ill bring the dynamite?
I think that type of social thing would be a great idea... can actually watch people trying various techniques so if something works we know howto do it. What we really need is Bilarido to come aswell.

LGF I think if u bring what little C4 u have left and sell it at the gate for struben you could make quite the killing.
Maybe fund all us sealiners with those diawa steez ?
Im probably(hopefully) going to sterkfontein this weekend. If not maybe sat will be a good day? Will let you guys know if I can make it this weekend tomorrow morning.

Does anybody know how deep STUBborns is at its deepest? My C4 is kla/kaputenshlauschen/ka neks/finito, so perhaps if the water won't snuff out my air intake I can attach a plough-scoop to the Cruiser's bullbar and push them basstid's out onto the opposite bank, then we can get the guys that never hooked one there, to hook them and throw them back, and then reel them in.....

I'v heard from two meters to over 15m don't know who actually knows. Apparently you not allowed to throw nets there either... Otherwise that would also be a option.

Buddy, the fact that it says NO NETS/NETTING doesn't actually mean that you shouldn't do it, I mean, you mean to tell me you've never ever, EVA travelled on the Carpy N1 and went over 120km/h? Not even with the current roadworks thats taking forever? hmmmmmmmmmmmm?:spite
I rest my case your Honour, the man threw the lit dynamite into the pond and all the CARP came flying out.....
Luckily I've got an excuse, actually several, but they all amount to one thing, I'm completely and utterly :cens:rasta, will have to install that couple of meters of 50mm pvc waterpipe to the air intake then......::jest, now just to find the set of numberplates I took off Ryans Toyota the other day at Rhenosterkop........
