That whole shoreline is part of Nature Concervation.The bottom part is when you come in from the gate.Its the Bronkhorstspruit-river inlet.The top left section is known as Os spruit.Shallow water,but decent fish.

one hint, do not come very close to those banks, the officials  are very strict if ther is a boat close to the banks they get the water police to remove the boat asap they take down your/the take boat number/name and give it to the wsaps .... i know the guys very good, and make sure you wear life jackets, those wsapa are full of s#@$%...

 are you fishing for bass or carp from the boat?

yes those three banks specificly,  a while back there was people on boats the broke off the whole banks lines the came till about 15-20 from the bank and drove from one point to the other....

 the bank wher your blue and red marks meet on the other side is a verry good place to fish from the boat, deep and rocky no grass or anything, almost the whole part of the other side of the nature reserve is unfishable from the side Private grounds) but very fishable from a boat... good luck when are you planing to go?
