yip there are big fish. a friend of mine caught over 6 kg carp on a chappie at harties, yes a chappie. he got lazay & just put a chappie on the hook. a few weeks back a girl from Lenasia also pulled out a 10kg at Harties, she was in the local news paper.de rust does...merhof doesnt... de rust not safe at nights but fine druring the days... there is a comp there this weekend... dont know if schoemanville has one, have never been there, but a mate of mine caught a 12kg carp there last weekend... got proof too for the non believers that thinks harties is down the drains..
