Hi Guys

I would really apreciate any advice on Sterkfontein as to where, what, and how to target the Bass there.

We have the KZN BETT there at the end of the month, therefore i'm not really expecting replies but rather hoping for someone to help

Tight lines        :fishn

Did you download my free map for your Lowrance Chart Plotter?

Make sure you boat is prepared for some big offshore conditions. When the wind blows it can get a bit scary on the dam. Make sure your hatches seal nicely and if not that they all drain to your sump at the back. Get a bilge pump and wire it up to a switch on your dash (the automatic switches are crap) so you can pump out any rogue waves that come overboard

Or consider something like the Lowrance demo boat ...

Thanx guys
Thanx fishton for the map.
I might run a puddle hopper but I have been in big water before on Jozini - learnt a hell of a lot quickly!!, my bilge pumps are wired as you said to a seperate swtch with a back up override - love the lowrance demo boat - a bit uncomfortable for Bass though....::respekt:

Hi Guys

Found this info on Sterkies, more for yellows, but it may help someone else on the structure around the dam - tight lines
