My brother and I spent most of the day at the quarry and we weren't impressed with it as a fishing only destination, especially at R75 a person. The quarry is extremely deep with ultra clear water so the fishing time of 9-5 means you can't fish when the quarry is at its most productive because the clear water makes the fish very skittish.
Most of the time you spend trying to sight fish and tempt schools of tiny fish to commit to your lure since they are too skittish to take the lures.
I ended up catching about 10 of them on a watermelon crappy slider grub on a chartreuse slider jig head (The chartreuse seemed to trigger the strike.). A small baby bass Bill Norman Deep Tiny N also got a hit or two.
While I wouldn't reccomend the quarry as a fishing only spot it is family friendly and makes a nice braai spot. One note, there is a nice green lawn but no shade so if you take the wife and kids take shade umbrellas.
