Maguga

[kurt]

hey everyone

the bass at Maguga are on the bite again!

in the last 5 trips we have gone from 3 fish to 17 fish last Saturday, small fish but good fun, the biggest saturday was a 2lb fish on a buzzbait. also these were afternoon sesions not full day. a 5lb fish was cought by another boat fishing the area, so the bigger ones are around!

This is in a time frame of 6 weeks, and keep in mind i only have a tub with a troling motor so i cant cover allot of water. so who is gooing to be fishing Maguga soon ?

Hey

We are looking to go to Maguga dam early next year. This will be our first time. How is the fishing from the bank? Are there any specific lures that really gets the bass' attention?

Happy Fishing
Stefan

hi

at the moment bank fishing is more accessible due to the low water levels but once the water rises its tough to get around , allot of bank side vegetation. you can fish more areas from the bank around the bridge not the damwall where Maguga Lodge is, i presume you Will be staying there?

we have had most success on fishing deep and slow with dark colour senko/trick stick type baits and also Brush hoggs. i will add that saturday i cought most fish on a small crankbait...small fish though.

just a note, there are some nice Carp around so if you cant get on a boat for Bass maybe putt a rod in for Carp.

Ek het die grootste bass van my lewe op Maguga aan gehad, duimsuig so meter lank - en ek het 'n ooggetuie wat ook die vis gesien het.

Nodeloos om te se hy het my rustig gebreek in die takke. Skakel toe oor na 80lb braid (die blik sim) en die eerste volgende bassie van so 2.5kg kap ek toe uit die water oor die boot. Dit was ook nie pret nie :-O

Daar is groot bass !
