Sunday at DK for a few hrs

 

Look at the gill though. Looks like some sort of fungal infection - anyone know what this is?? Similar to what some of the bass had at Theewaters a few years back.

Cant remember when last I posted on Sealine :)
 
However, I last fished DK about 1 month ago, only been catching 500g - 1.3kg bass this year there.
 
Oh well
 
I inflated my tube and headed there yesterday, not a sole on the dam, then some dude rocked up on a orange inflatable seahawk,
 
anyways...
 
I was fishing super slow and picked up some decent fish, first was 1.8kg, then 1.2kg, and BANG a 3.3kg, and last a 2.2kg. I couldnt believe it! DK was cooking!!! I am so used to the little bass, I never expected this! I remember like 2 - 3 years back it was like this, but not recently.
 
However I broke my personal best which was previously 3kg.
My best at DK 2.85kg 3 years ago.

Thanks!

The pics look crap, on the tube taking a pic just doesnt work, I have the pic but all you see is my head and the fishes belly, the 1.2, 1.8 and 2.2 are all average fish, so no pics.

If there only was someone to take a decent pic for me Im so bummed, but I know where he is so ill get him/her again, but hopefully someone can take a decent pic for me!

The 2.2 was short but ROUND! the 1.2 was almost the same length, I went yesterday again, but only got 2 fish, like under 500g, then headed the quarry, got 1 smallie and 2 largies.


Tight Lines!!!

Think it could take off this side nicely if we can get enough guys interested. I think on Average the guys in JHB have 30-50 guys competing at a time. Now to source enough waters. Any suggestions? Got a few in mind but not many other than our major dams!

i have never been there myself, i know there has been some discussion about magic forest earlier in the threads. i really cant remember tho.
if i recall correctly, magic forrest they are strict on permits, and you may bot fish at night.
i am not sure tho.

but as i always believe. i dont cause trouble, im quite and make sure my fishing spot is clean and organized.... so i would rather say sorry and ask forgiveness than ask permission :)::hapi:
