Hi Ossie

Go on r59 towards vereeniging take the oframp Johan le Roux Drive turn left go straight at T Junction turn right at second stop turn left go over the klip river carry on straight till you get a stop street (motorcross Track on left) you must turn right carry on straight go over bridge go over the stop street carry on straight till you get to T junction turn left go over bridge(suikerbosrand river) carry on straight till you see the dam you must turn right towards Deneysville its the third or forth property on the left hand side i always launch my boat there.hope this helps

Thank you found it on google earth

 

[Osie]

Does the property have a peer of some sort?

 

[mouse001]

Osie it does have some sort of pier the little chanel that i think you see is the launch for boats and its rally a good place to launch the chanel is protected from wind but the water level mustnt go too low otherwise as you come out of the launch(chanel)there is a sand bank and you will bump the bottom besides that its a very easy launch realy good

 

[Osie]

Yes that is the place. I will only be taking a small row boat with me so launching wont be a problem. Have you fished there before?

 

[mouse001]

not off the bank but the guys have good catches i believe if you take the stand closest to the ramp it might be deeper than the stands on the left(away from the launch)
in general the venue isnt a deep venue but lots of fish come out there in summer dont forget barble bait and maybe you must try booking before you go as there is only about 150m waterfront.(8 Stands)
