Well done on finding the structure.

I think mid feb when the water is warm and cape town get's those windless 30 degree plus summer days you are going to find fish down there....

Fischerhaven didnt go so well,BMNP and I were there and after the rain obvioulsy the dam is full again and the water has an almost coffee colour to it,because of the mud washed in,im just gonna give a bit of time,fish will still bite,i just think the water needs to warm up a little bit!!
 
I got there at like 3pm,
went straight to the spot with my black jig and carolina rig.
on my second cast i got a take on the carolina rig, but i was weak...and missed it!! haha
Tried for a while with no other takes, but i was bumping all sort of crap and got stuck a couple of times, so stuff is there.
Then i went round the big island and got a nice fish. As i saw it i thought it was the same fish i caught the other day (the 1,8kg) and i weighted it and it was 1,8kgs...so it could have been the same fish (had the same hump back). I took a  bunch of pics so i could see if it was the same...but like a right chop, i took pics of the wrong side of the fish...idiot!!
Then i got two or three ok ones on my way out. I got one little one off the rockpile just off the big island (the spot Marthin described).

David,i reckon im going this afternoon again,jigs aint a myth and i dont need a scale!!!!!im not catching it to write down all the weights of my fish,im catching them for myself speedworm!!!
 
@Southpaw, I got mine at fishing specialist, think they the Strike King ones, they go for about R40 a jig. Or there are a load of jigs on Bass.co.za for really good prices. The company is reliable and the (economy) postage takes like 4-6 days for R29. Cool place.

@Brushhog, Im feeling MIFF today, will see if i feel any better later on. Goodluck!
