- Thread starter Ryanie
- Start date
Hey Guys Many thanks for the help.
Just a quick report back. Great holiday...terrible weather with mostly overcast and rain over the five days.. The fishing was extremely tough despite being on the water most mornings at five..
Only a couple dinks for five days medium hard fishing...
The fished seemed to have stayed in the deeper water (30 ft +) for most of our stay. We found some shallow weed quite close to deeper water but no luck. Also a deep river bed running into a small bay with some weed and submerged trees and had the most luck there. On the other side of the dam there were a few dead trees overhanginging into the dam with a deep channel nearby and tried these on the one or two sunny afternoons that we had but also no luck.
What was interesting though was that the barbel were mating all over the dam and I was wondering if this was somehow affecting the bass' feeding pattern in any way.
All I can say is that after returning to Durban and spending a day at Nagle Dam and catching over a dozen keepers, I now realise why I love Nagle. Looking forward to my next good day at Inanda.
See you on the water....
PS I am looking to upgrade to a nice little Bass Boat so hopefully wont be mistaken for "Parkies" in the near future...

Hi i'm new to the forum but not to fishing 
Midmar can be very tough to fish but you need to look for deep water close to structure as the bass tend to cruise the area looking for unsuspecting baitfish coming out of the structure some of our best catches came from the 30ft mark
i've attached a picture of my partners 3.84 caught at midmar
tight lines
