Hi Guys

I am a R&S angler but looking at getting into some Bass up here in Jozi, please can some1 recommend a good place in the Benoni or neighbouring areas where i can target and actually catch some bass. Any tips with regards to lures and tackle will also be appreciated.

Thanks

hi keith

welcome to the east rand firstly! :::S

locations: Homestead
Lures : natural plastics...watermelon with red flake, pumpkin seed finesse worms and junebug flukes work best for me at homestead....bass this seasn has been pretty slow here compared to last year but its around the corner and worth the distance.

Middle Lake (opposite homestead across the highway)
lures : Same as above.....

there has been alot negative reports regarding safety esp at middle lake so be careful when fishing alone....esp along the dam wall....

a rubber duck and trolling motor at middle lake fishing all ong the bank of the golf course should produce some decent bass (i.e 1kg plus)...

good luck and tight lines!

Howzit Yusuf, I'm actually here in JHB for almost 8 years now but have only recently started getting into freshwater and the relative closeness of dropshot and Bass angling is what attrected me to trying for bass. Thanx for the advice will definitely try homestead (not sure where to go there?) my bro had some luck last friday at Middle lake just b4 Protea hotel with what he says was almost 2 kilos of largemouth.
