Inanda bass classic

[Brakdog!]

Howsit all, The bass section has been super quiet lately, I am busy getting all our horny toads in a row for the upcoming Inanda classic end of next month and was wondering who firstly of the sealine crowd will be going, second what are you guys doing to get yourselves ready for the event and lastly maybe we can all share a little bit of what we would do to get ourselves ready for this kind of event.

From what it seems is that Inanda can be a hot of=r cold dam, either you are towing in plenty fish or you end up just burning fuel and battery power, I am doing the classic for the first time so its all new to me. There is a wealth of info out there that I have spent many a productive work day readng through and figuring out just where and with what baits I will be focussing my assault on the green backs in the dam.

Now its up to us to get some sort of info base going (hopefully) and maybe even hook up a bit of a sealine get together when we all arrive there.

Hi Brakdog!
I,we will be there once again this year. We will be on camp site #3. Come pop in for a beer and a chat once you get settled in.

Inanda is NOT producing big fish lately, so if you happen to hook into anything over 2kg's you stand a good chance of winning the Triton & Motor!

The water is high so the frog bite could very well do the business.

That is not to say that the offshore structure isn't working either, because last weekend I got some great fish on deep running cranks in >30ft of water.

Hi there Brakdog.  Sent you some info on Inanda that might help.  Good Luck.

Thank you very much guys, Fishton will make sure to make a turn past you guys for definite, wish that one day we could kit our boat out with some of that lowrance gear!
@Blommie not sure where you posted that info but I didnt see anything, thank you anyway.

Will be heading to the shops to go and get some extra deep Norman cranks and a couple heavier sliding weights to get our plastics into the unknown!

Hehe and ja, race you guys to the point!

no fishing reports on any of the websites...what happened?

 

 

 

[Fishton]

This little fishy won the R330 000!
Well done Barry Muirhead

This was the average fish for the tournament .....

 

[Fishton]

The big fish were there ... we just couldn't get them to bite.

i am sure the weather didnt help much...it looked more like sun tanning weather than fishing weather.

 

 

 

 

[Fishton]

I think we should give the little green fish a break for a while, and go target some of those monster couta that are coming out lately.

 

[cranky]

those images you have on the fish finder...are you sure they are bass...when i pulled up a gill net which was in the trees up the river at inanda...i didnt find one bass...just plenty of decent size red breasted kurper  and talapia...i mean as big as 1.5 kg maybe even bigger...i know you use an under water camera to check them...or do the bass maybe have a different shape on the sonar?

with the amount of time you spend on the water have you been able to separate the images to determine the type of fish?

The carp are constantly on the move and don't 'cling' to the cover like bass.  Carp also have a much stronger return than the bass.
