We spent 4 days on the waters of Letsibogo Dam near Selebe Pikwe in Botswana. We were a group of 8 guys, fishing was tough and we tried everything from top water to Dd22's. The most difficult part of fishing Letsi is because you restricted to electric motors, you have to make sure your batteries dont run out, or atleast have spare batt's.. One day the wind picked up and we almost just made it back to the launch area after depleting all 4 batteries. Overall we managed to pick up a few fish over 3kg but has been the slowest from previous trips.

Thanx Kerneelsie!!
I would suggest going there around pre spawn, mid to end July is a good time!! The 3kg's plus we caught now are 5kg + aound that time!! Take enough spare batteries!! There guys who hire out boats so that saves you all the trouble and red tape of getting yours across the border!!
Cheers

wow!!! 5kg bass is amazing!! sound like a lot of fun... We are planning a trip in botswana in october, where you take a house boat and smaller boats attached to that and fish the barbel run for tigers (i will target barbel as well hehe. its roughly 300km by boat towards our lodge (thamalakane river lodge) so hopefully that will happen. Wow i have to catch one of those big mrs mam bass!!! Thanks for the info! . 
. Have a relative thats been fishing there past few years..Same period every year..Sadly its the hook and cook brigade that causing the decline. They have seen Huge Tubs filled to the brim with bass...expect the fishing to get worse over the coming years. he has the pics to prove it. They used to average 4kg Easily with a number of 5KG fish on every trip.
