Hey Guys.

I was just wandering if anyone knows anything about Longmere Dam and the surrounding dams (Da Gama and Klipkoppie). I'm going there next weekend and don't know much about the place.  Are float tubes allowed? And any idea as to what might be working at the moment for some nice bass?
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

you should be able to tube a klipkoppie just lost of boat traffic on weekends that you will need to consider. I found the dam wall to be very productive. Especially the main section of the wall area. There is also a bridge but you will be a bit exposed to boats. Otherwise there are plenty bays you can spend time fishing productively. Yellow lazy ike works very well there. But get the original lazy ike not cheap immitatins that don't work. lizards, flukes, grubs, ctail worms in junebug, green pumpkin, watermelon red.

Da gama is a tough dam. I'd do klip before da gama. Don't know longmere at all sorry.

Let us know how it goes.

Thank you so much... really appreciate it.  Actually just read a bit in a SA Bass book from 1985 that talks about fishing the wall at Klipkoppie.  I'll let you know how it goes.

Longmere Dam very nice dam but have not yet got any big bass there yet . Couple of small ones to date . Float tube should work very well there . Check the dams on Google earth ??

Ironically i am fishing Da Gama next weekend. I have fished both Da Gama and Klipkoppie  and find the quality of fish at Da Gama to be better. You will catch lots of 400g fish out of both.

Hi Guys

Just thought I'd give a quick report back on the Weekends fishing at Longmere ( & Da Gama & Klipkoppie).  It's a short report back because my girlfriend and I came down with a herrendous bug the day we travelled.... bw_l_) so any plans to go off to Da Gama and Klipkoppie were a distant memory (the place we were staying at is on Longmere).  So we spent little time on the water and didn't venture too far from the loo.  We did manage too catch about 20 or so over the course of 2 days, the biggest being about 2 pounds.  But we still had a great time.  Only thing that seemed to work for us though was a slow moving shakey head with any worm having a different colour tail.... just incase you're wandering
