hi guys

went through to Benoni lake yesterday........caught this specimen on live worm....

Profile : Bass Juvenile body...streamline not like that of any kurper species that inhabit these waters.

Large Mouth to that of bass

Colours and Fins resemble that of the Canary Kurper.

Definitely a canary.

thought the same coz we've caught alot but this one had all the characteristics of a juve bass......notice the streamline body?and trust me i held the fish by the bottom jaw as i would a bass..........

 

[Lunker]

The body is slender and with that makes the head and mouth look bigger I recon.

Nice catch though.

Have you tried sada curly tails for them on Ultra light tackle?

 

 

[yusuf pelwan]

makes sense....tx Lunker. i honestly have no clue what sada curly tails are....???lol but i do generally go ultra light when fishing the "in-accessible from bank" spots on the lake....pretty good fight for average palm size kurper

I have recently started fishing with Curly tails (artlure) and have never caught so many bass and kurper and my PB carp on Ultra Light. Check this thread out.

These are some of my catches on curly tails.

thats brilliant well done Lunker!

seeing the pics....i have seen them at the local tackle shop....will definitely go get some and give it a try...possibly on a Fly outfit??

tight lines!

Thanks.

It can be done on fly rod but then you are limited to how you can fish the curly's. Best way is a 5ft to 6ft Ultra light rod, smallest spinning reel possible and Max 2.5kg line. The best technique for fishing curly's cannot be achieved on fly rod. You will be dissapointed in them if not fished correctly.
