More Kêrels!

Dit hang beslis vd dam af, en wat die vis gewoond is in sekere dele...

In Barberton waar ek grootgeword het het was daar 5 damme digby mekaar,die een se water het die volgende gevoed ens.ens.

By dam 1 was 2 Klein platties ( R 5 grootte) met bietjie rooi poeier ( red cloud) die in ding...dam 2 so 50 meter verder 'n kurperkop of karpkop...dam 3 so 10 meter verder honderlewer of rou rump steak ...dam 4 ook so 10 meter verder Ghielemientjies, sommer so 4 of 5 op 'n groot hoek ingeryg...dam 5 so 1km verder was platannas weer baas!

Op verskeie kere het Krieke ook al so paar platkoppe op die wal laat beland veral in dam 4!

Presies dieselfde water, maar verskillende struktuur,plante,visse ens in die water...

So ent verder was daar riooldamme/watersuiweringswerke.

Daar was babers in die onderste "skoon" damme ( die gefilterde water wat weer in die Queens rivier ingaan ). Hier het groot kakkerlakke , dooie voëltjies, rondedop tuinslakke met rooipoeier , Vleipaddas,selfs gewone skurwepaddas  hope babers gevang!

By Lydenburg area was heel krappe weer die ding...

In Europa is die nommer een aas Squid / tjokka vir die Wels! Wil dit nog probeer,dit maak sin, dit ruik effe snaaks en is baie taai so die bly goed aan die hoek!

In Amerika is die nommer een aas vir Channel catfish weer rou prawns met die dop en al,veral as dit so dag "mature" het...niemand kan stry met ryp prawns se reuk nie of hoe? Sal dit ook nog eendag toets!

In Zambië/ Zim is Blouseep weer die aas vir die Vundu,- Blouseep is basies uitgekookte vet wat in 'n seep omskep word, nie blou Lux nie...hehe!

Hoe ookal, Babers kan en sal feitlik enige iets eet,daarom is hulle vd suksesvolste visse in Afrika!

Groete

Herman

Hi Unlimited,

Ek onthou jy het op n stadium iets van hoender mis genoem. Was dit vir n voerplek en hoe goed het dit gewerk.

Personally I prefer a quality Loodkop, 90% of the fishingtrips I have gone on I have caught a barbel on a Loodkop:fishn

Hiya Guys!

A few years back I used a rig based on the specimen carp "snowman rig", I called it the "Dog pellet popup rig".

I also caught lots of barbel on this,especially in winter!

Tie a longshank hook about 1/0 to hookline,now take 8 -12 dogplellets, Epol/Dogmor, about 2 cm in diameter with the hole in the centre and thread them onto the hookline ( as shown in attached drawings to follow )

Take the tag end of the hookline and attach it to the mainline via a swivel.

contd....

Also use a sinker on the mainline to keep it down.

Just cast it out, it takes the pellets about 20-30 min to dissolve and break up,so you need to rebait, but it doesn't always lie that long!

It floats just above the bottom and as it get saturated it sinks and breaks up into pieces that float to the surface and spread on the bottom,making a nice "voerplek"!

You can tie this rig the night before and leave it on the rod, and go fishing the nex day, without the bait going bad or hard! You can basically transport your rod already baited up,saving time at the water!

You can also soak a bucket of pellets ( the same type ) in hot water overnight, mix this "pap stuff" with supercast dry feed ( instant mieliebomme ) or chuck it over the side of the boat, it calls the cats BIG TIME!

Regards

It works, we caught heaps of Barbel in the early 90's on this, and it is so simple!

I even caught a Carp at Nooitgedacht on this,on a 1/0 hook!

I caught stacks of Barbel (albeit only smally ones) in the Breede River outside Robertson this weekend using Chicken Hearts. Once strung up I made a couple of slices to let the flavour out. Being a muscle, they are easy to get on the hook. I used a rig with a large hook to hold the bait in place & a second smaller hook to snag the fish. 100% success rate. I also used hair rig which I baited with a heart, but instead of using a boilie stop I threaded a second hook onto the hair to hold the heart in place. I will take a photo of the setup & post it later. This also worked like a charm & was what caught the biggest of the lot.

Interesting, I have tried sardines in a dam in newcastle for barbel with very little success. and i tried everything, whole, head with guts, belly, flapped, in this dam you cannot beat a carp head. i guess it depends on the area

Exiled for life, sorry for the late reply, I fished chemlsford dam at sanford. I had the keys to the zones this was the best fishing area. I had a screaming pickup with a 1kg carp head there. Unfortunately i was about 200m from my rod when i go there it dropped the bait. left it there for the rest of the day the cat never returned. I see u in newcastle
