Last night I read a very interesting Article "Bassing in North-West" posted in the February 2008 issue of the Stywe Lyne,

The above dams have been mentioned in the Article as good bassing spots in North-West Province with alot of catches over the 3kg mark.

Can anybody verify this? How safe are the dams? Out of the 3 dams which is the most popular dam for bass fishing? Any tips will be appreciated

I have managed to find the following on google regarding Disaneng dam " "2.22 Disaneng Dam (N, F) Notable Bass catch: 4.2kg (9.24lb) 2006/ 2007"

I've heard that there are plenty of big bass in Disaneng dam, but haven't fished there yet. Info is also very scarce on this dam.

Seems like the only way to get info is to actually go and visit the dams. Will keep the thread updated

Perhaps we could start off with getting directions to these dams but the trick is finding out what Disaneng dam was called if it had a name change as it might be easier to find info on it that way, does anyone have any directional info? or will Google be the answer?

Thanks alot. I have a boat so that is not a problem. All these dams are about 120-170km away from rustenburg so I will def. add them to my "places to visit" list.

Will keep the thread updated after each session

When you get to Zeerust,visit Outdoorworld.Speak to Imran,he knows the dams very well.

Thanks a mil. Do you perhaps have a telephone number for Riekertsdam

 

[Jan-Harm]

No,you just pitch there and pay at the gate.There wont be alot of people this time of the year.When you enter the gate,turn left,go straight down until you see a small bay.Pitch camp there.The bay is good for the bass and try the dam wall aswell.

 

[bigkano]

Thank you will do so.Is there a decent slip for launching?

 

[bigkano]

Is it a safe dam for camping. sorry for all the questions

 

[Jan-Harm]

Yes.When you going?Let me know how it went.

 

[bigkano]

If the weather permits I will be going this weekend. What is the avg size bass you caught at the dam?

 

[Jan-Harm]

Very safe.Never had any problem.Its run by the Boerevereeninging,so there is no problems.
