Hi all, I am new to bass fishing and new to the "inland" and relocated from the coast to PTA. I am mainly a saltwater fisherman, but the bass bug has bitten me.

I am mostly interested in fishing for Bass with frogs and accordingly ( I realize the season is not neccessarily right at the moment ) I want to know from anyone who is willing to give advice :

Which dams hold lily pads, where the dam is relatively healthy with a good population of Bass ?

Is there any particular reason why you looking for lilly pads?

You will find lilly pads in Vaal River, Rus De Winter mostly. You mention you a frog fanatic, you will have a lot of success fishing the grass beds in the Gauteng dams. You bring the frog accross a grass bed over a pocket you better hold on, most of the dams have grass. RDW, Bronkies, Witbank.

Hi HennieS.

Baie dankie vir die info ::S

 

Ek het n klein rubber duck met elektriese motor. bietjie skrikkerig vir die groter damme met krokenosters, natuurlik is die afstand ook n issue i.t.v battery lewe.

Kan jy dalk meer spesifiek wees ivm waar ek moet stop wat naaste sal wees aan die pads / gras ? & watse plek jy sal voor gaan ?

Ek dink RDW sal jou beste opsie wees, daar kan jy 5m van die launch af hengel en daar is orals gras in die dam. Yes daar is kroks maar moet hulle nie pla nie en hulle sal jou nie pla nie, moet ook nie onnodig swem nie!

Langs die launch is daar a sloep aan die regter kant, gewoonlik redelik produktief veral op die punt. Jy behoort omtrent die hele hoof dam te kan hengel met n battery motor. As jy links gaan na die damwal kant kry jy baie sloepies met gras banke en lilly pads. Regs van die damwal is n keurwal wat die water gewoonlik oorloop die omgewing is ook baie goed. Regs van die keurwal sal jy n sloep sien wat redelik diep in loop, die regter punt van die sloep is gewoonlik goed en die gras loop ver uit onder die water. Jy sal baie ander plekke sien wat mooi lyk meer as genoeg hengel plek.

RDW raak warm en as die son hoog is dan gaan die vis dieper le, so maak maar seker jy vat jou flukes, brush hogs en senko's saam!
