Hi UK145.

I'll be going there 24Sept 2010, would you be so kind as to give feedback on your trip. There seems to be little to none info on this venue as to what work and not.

Thanks Dean Slater I have made a note of your suggestion and will let you know if it worked for me.

Never been there, but since it's in the vicinity of UJ I would try the same baits usually recommended there - go sweet with the flavours: Caramel, Perdeby, Banjo on the hookbaits always worked well for me at UJ; FX combo's on the bol. Depth - not too deep: around 60 - 80 meters.

The Resorts along the Vaaldam road are gonna be packed this weekend from the looks of it. Fish were shy on the bite lastyear this time while they were spawning, I would not expect tempo fishing, but who knows....

Thanx Silver Foxx.::S

I came to the same conclusion when we phoned about ten resorts before we found some space at Leboya, everywhere is packed.

Thanks for the suggestions, will definitely give it a bash.

Hossa Friday.

As promised, some feedback on Leboya bay.

The Carp fishing wasn't too successful on size, but we did manage to land some small ones. The average size around 1/2kg.

They were partial to strawberry and caramel (mielie pip with a dough backing and Floaty with a dough backing) S.a. Powder sometimes helped. Triple D on the ball. We tried various distances to find the bigger fish but no luck.

My tally for the three days were, 5 Carp, 2 Barbel and one onderbek (Sorry I don't know what it is called in English.)The one barbel weighed in at 2.2kg.

The camping space was excellent. The shoreline property for each camping site is huge. The ablution facilities is too small for the amount of people and there were some boating pests that ignored the boating, fishing segregation. Take whatever you need with you, they only sell wood and ice at the offices.

I give Leboya Bay a huge thumbs up and will definitely visit again.

There is different stands with different rates, depending on power and such.

The whole long weekend (3 days, 2 nights) for 4 adults and  3 children was just over R1000.

We were there in January. Lots and lots of fish! Mostly mudfish and yellows. As for the resort, neat and children friendly.
