Reading through some topics posted by members i came across this 1. That place use to be private property but they now build a wall at the one end to keep people out and it's now open to the public for a cost of R100.
In the past keys was passed out to selected people but not even them have entrance anymore. They have been talking of building there for almost ten years now and it seems as if it's acctually going to happen now.
Problem here is that not even at a cost of R100 do they "ensure" your safety. Second problem is that no receipts are given so where does the money really go?
In the past we fished there but were confronted by a "not so friendly" chap driving a white Corsa Bakkie.
My opinion is that i would rather fish bass lake for a bit more money but fishing is better.
When a hobby (passion) becomes a threat to your life it's just not worth it anymore.
Guns and going in numbers really does not help anymore.

I have tried frogs but no luck. Most of the fish there don’t come to the surface to feed. We have found huge schools of bait fish and all most all my fish there came out at around 10ft +.
There is one spot I always fish. Away from where all the other guys fish but could not manage to land those pigs as there are some serious structure around there
Well I have seen two monsters there that will defiantly break way over 5 kg’s. And I got smashed by another big one that broke the braid. I use to have a key but somebody turned d00s and had the lock changed and kept promising me a key but to NO avail

Whats been your experience relating to pressure changes ? There where you launch, fish that at about 19H30 with a frog and hold on...
The structure is rather bad there and I too had the impression that the fish is keeping deep during the day and in the nature of that it would be tricky to land one of those.
Perhaps "bottom fishing rig" with a big bunch of earthworms between those deep trees ?

But it seems they are more attracted to a weightless plasticCool, sluit my in asb !!!
Het n bootjie so as ons nog een kan reel sal ons 4 mense can accomodate & hopelik die vis bykom & n nuwe trick of twee leer. N absolute moet met die plek though, is n hoe lugdruk, Meer as die week wat verby is, die naweek lyk ook sleg, soos Murphy dit wil he gaan Maandag & Dinsdag die aangeskore tyd wees. Om een of ander rede is die vis daarso meer gepla met die lugdruk as enige ander faktor.
cheers.
