Weekend 12-14 November. Largescale and small scale caught in dirty water. Salmo Hornet 4f hp worked best catching yellows barbel bass and myself (ouch) on this. I caught 5 yellows for the morning session on the HP. Dirty water=HP. Rudolph also caught yellow on small silver spoon. Only on Sunday Bass became active caught about 5 in 2-3kg range, bass was in very good condition for post spawn, one still had eggs- dont know why.

Hi Jakes, those are some really special fish! If you sent the photos from this past weekend dont forget to add the one where you caught the crankbait with your arm!

 

[Jake1]

If you go up you will see the pic of the crank that caught me.....ouch........lol

 

[Mal Vis]

Hi Jakes, Oops, sorry. I see you did attach the arm one! How did the water clarity after the recent rain affect the fishing in the Olifants?

 

[Jake1]

The water is a bit muddy yes, it has a bad effect on the fishing but Sunday it allready started to clear up and was able to catch a few bass. It sounds like you know the olifants have you fished it before?

[Mal Vis]

No, unfortunately not the Olifants itself,  but I constantly get tortured with photos of monster bass and yellows from a very close friend that fishes the Olifants with some lucky guy that has access to a private stretch of water on the Olifants. I do believe that this friend of mine, apart from fishing in jeans and cowboy boots, has the nasty habit of forgetting the landing net and then hooking other guys in their arms with salmo hornets! 

 

[Jake1]

oh.....ok. That Guy sounds dangerous, allmost sounds like my cousin Merv......what a coincidence, I was hooked by a Salmo as well this weekend...... and you wont believe, my cousin insisted I replace the hook (which I had to cut) with one of my own Salmo hooks.

(oppas vir ouens soos dit-hulle trek nie eers hulle gulpe op nie......check die foto)

 

[Mal Vis]

Ha Ha!! Well put, that's definately Merv!

(Ek dink nie hy hoef te worry oor die oop gulp op die Olifants nie, sover ek weet is die bass daar nie so keen op die sada curlies nie!!)

Looking forward to eventually teach you guys to fish! he he he! LOL
