There are a few smaller of the large dams near to Durban that are popular with float-tubers/kick-boaters. You can try Hazelmere, Mnini, Shongweni or Nagle Dams. Otherwise there are many places a bit further inland with small farm dams - also Tuckers down the South Coast.

Speak to Cranky on this forum - he's in a group of kick-boaters that regularly go on fishing expeditions together. (He'll probably reply in this thread anyway)

yip we have a club called the puddlehoppers...we spend a lot of time on the water...unfortunatley my bussiness is taking up lots of my time at the moment...so my fishing time is restricted...when you get here send me a pm and we go spend some time on the water

Don't use your float tube in nagle. I heard there's crocs there.

Shongweni and hazelmere are good bets, worth trying.

thanks i have sent you a pm...

i decided yesteday to pull the boat out again and dust off the cob webs.

stripped off the carpets sanded the glue off...all ready for new carpets...just couldnt find any yesterday.

got sealed led lights and fitted them yesterday.

got all the floatation...well that is gona be interesting trying to fit all that foam into a bass boat could be a challenge...15 noodles.

the boat has cof...just got to get floatation certificate

did my skippers and passed just waiting for real thing...only have a temp. one for now.

hopefully i will be back on the water soon.

i am thinking of starting off with the silver fish offs then once i feel i have spent enough time on the water and feel more confident that i can catch some fish...i want to try for my natal colours...see if i can "make the cut" as some call it.

who knows maybe even fish the bett :fishn
