Hi Lang Gooi, I was at Bloemhof the past weekend (11,12,13 March 2011). Stayed at the chalets on the river and fished at Sandveld during the day.
I am not sure how to give a proper report but will tell you what we encountered last weekend. We got to the Sandveld side around 7am (on Saturday) and set up. All in all there were 18 rods in the water but only 3 of these were active throughout the day. Some of the guys did not catch at all. Whereas myself (first time fisherman) and brother - in - law pulled out about 13 Carp. All above 3kg.
The fishing at the River Chalet we stayed at was definately more interesting. At night, the barbels were stricking at everything we had to offer. Saturday night saw some of the guys catch around 18 - 20 barbels and 1 lonely Carp.
On Sunday we woke up early and fished at the river for the afternoon. This time the Carp seem to be on a run with around 10 fish caught between 10am and 12pm.
Always sad to pack up after such a fantastic weekend
