Hi

I have been looking for a bass water for ages in teh Bloemfontein area and besides the odd farm dam that has bass I was not aware some of the local dams held bass. I have not fished Knellpoort in a long while but will certainly give it a bash in teh future especially now that I know it has bass.

cheers

Hi Dorsalfin

Sorry I thought he said there were bass in Knellpoort. I know they have big cats and tons of yellows and carp, have fished the place a few times before.

Thats a stunning Garrick you holding by teh way, great fish and awsome fighter.

The dam is Kraaipoort, its real name is kalkfontein dam. My local water. Great dam especially if you are after some nice cats. The yellowfish is a pest these days and the carp, well just say even the biggest ones in the dam we use as bait.

Thanks, ja, love them garric, such a respectable fish.
I see you have caught a sizer.

If any of you Bloem region guys would be intetisted, we are doing our anual Mazeppa trip in November and I still have a few spaces open so let me know if you would be interisted.

Thanks Dorsal

Have heard alot about Kraaipoort, Koffiefontein dams and heard they hold decent fish. Have been wanting to do a trip up that way at some satge.

As for the Mazeppa bay trip I would love to join as I havent fished it for at least 12 years now. Unfortunately I have a few issues from a work perspective. Our company is going through a intensive retrenchment process and due to that I am very hesitant to commit and then possably have to withdraw at a later stage.

Darius just convert one of your old rock and surf rods to a roepstok - Enigma did one of mine. The roepstok blank is a hmg /6 anyway
