Last night I read a very interesting Article "Bass

[Loams]

I've been to Disaneng Dam on a windy day and we only caught scrappy's, but I know there are big fish in there. Fish the grass line and dam wall. Senko, Senko, Senko, Fluke, Fluke, Fluke, and don't forget the horny toads on overcast or early and late conditions in the shallows or over grass (This applies to anywhere in the North West Province in my experience)

Don't go alone, I wouldn't classify it as "safe", but its not necessarily unsafe either.... It's just that there is no security to look after your car and control who enters and who doesn't. I would not camp there at all.

Riekerts Dam is awesome, although it left me fishless on the day, great camping spot and accomodation.

Sorry for the scant info, but it's actually all I know....

Nice quailty Bass there!

No doubt due to the Florida gene "injection" Disaneng (and Modimola) received in 2000 ...

I suspect if more people tried for Bass at Modimola just outside Mafikeng, they might be very surprised!

hows all doing? ive been to disaneng many times, great location and ive caught alot, i havent been very lucky with bass, but with Carp and barbel we were very successful, i make my way down to these dams pretty often, atleast 1nce a month or every 2 months,and in the holiday season more often!

i havent had any issues with safety and have camped over on 4 ocassions in groups of atleast 6 or more!

the only problem lately is they have put up a gate which usually took you towards the dam wall, there is now only a small place for anglers to access and a terrible drive!!

any more information on the gates would be great!

Hallo, Bigkano

I see one of your favorite fishing spots is Swartruggens Dam.  I would like to go and give that waters a try some time, any advice on the dam?
