guys can anybody please advise me where i can aquire a float tube, for a reasonable price.  went to check out DK and saw a young kid fishing in his tube.  he was wearing what looked like a diamond divers wet suit LOL.  is a wet suit really necessary and how problematic are leaches?

would love to join you guys on the water one day, if anybody see a red corsa with GP plates its me, so be friendly HAHA LOL

Theres nothing like a jig bite, its so agressive. Ive got owned a couple times into brushpiles.

Try Cape ads. I see fishing Specialist has two models at the shop not sure on the price and Somerset Sports in Somerset West has the Explorer for R1500 last time I was there.

You only get leeches if you stand in the dam. theyre in the mud not swimming around in the water. and the leeches are super tiny. Theres leeches in pretty much every dam.

I agree with speedworm,i fish there very often and have never seen one on me from sitting in the tube,they live in the mud so they cnt get on the tube and besides,theyre harmless,theyre soooo smalll,gonna hit DK now,cnt wait!!!!!

Thats the tube they sell on rod and marine. Ye its fine. You dont rly need a wetsuit in summer only winter. Wader is just if your a girl and dont want to get wet.

@duane, that tube is perfect, get something to sit on though so u dont sit too low in the water. I use a bottom of a wetsuit, not be cause of the cold or anything, but because once i went there without it, and when i got home i have massive swimmers rash on my legs and belly for a day (lucky not my balls!!). Now i where those wetsuit pant as much as i can bare. (in the heat). Get the tube and come bass duane, wil be sick!!

@riaan, the carolina actually works, for big fish esp. Although mines more like a mojo rig with a swivel and bead, nothing special. I was watching Elite series and i saw a guy catch a massive bass on a buzz bait too, but i think the footage was tampered with.

Some nice fish guys , !!!!!!!!!!!!1
i have been checkin out this thread for a while ...
so how has the trollingmotor /duck debarcle , been ended ??????



point being ,can we go fish of our ducks there ????

i have got a pretty good idea where that Bridge is , yes i would fish a Heavy mojo , or fat albert , or senkos on a carolina rig...
When last have there been a Smallie caught there ????
i know theres some Smallies , maybe they have all died? the bass seems to be up and down there from season to season .

I am sure there are still smallie in that dam , just hard to find them , ok kool so maybe i will check you ohs sometime in on the pond , but fisrts we gonna make a few trips to Zandvlei to get those MonsterLEERIES on Bass tackle !

any ways we will check you ohs sometime , then we look for those lunkers , what other places you can fish with a duck and trolling motor ???

Toe007,its good to know there are smallies,i doubt that they would of died!!!plenty of baitfish,enough deepwater to escape the heat of summer!!!well hopefully we catch some of those,anymore info on when the fish were put in and how many??any spotteds in there??Yeah Toe007,we must get those lunkers,they are there,just wish we had a fishfinder to locate that offshore spot,because its hard to figure it out!!!Im not sure where you can fish trolling motor and duck,what you can do is go t Wiesenhof with your trolling motor and use theyre boats wich they have there!

Yeah there are smallies in there, I saw a youngtser catch one on the dam wall in March 2007, +- 800g, Tygerwaterfront is LOADED with smallies, as well as the quarry. DK has definitely got the odd smallie swimming around its just a matter of time before we figure out where they are and what their habits are.
