I fished at my club waters (Slaughter on Vaal) on Sat 24th July, got 3 fish (was fishing at 90-100m, built a kol with 15-20 bombs (1st mistake!).
As the fish were rising and jumping all over the place, I decided to fish at 1 distance only with both rods (2nd mistake!).
A fellow club member and his wife fishing next to me were casting at about 30-40m, and must have caught 20-30 fish between them for the session! ...
It seems that at the Vaal this winter (with the water so high) that fish are CLOSE!!!!
We live and learn ...
