Hi Guys,
We had a grate time at Meerhof I was there at 6:30 Friday morning had my lines in at 7:15, based on the advise I got I took them in about 150m and 200m. I was able to fish just to the right of the blocks in the water. There was not a lot of usable space as the rain last week created a swamp, and deep mud at the fishing side of MeefHof.
I started to build the camp site, when the first rod took off like a rocket, mmm it was the rid with Garden Snails on, rod was deep and was using 5.5Kg line so took it slow, was a barber 6kg side.
I took off the snails and hooked up a pop up boilie rig 14mm side and took that out 200 between the blocks.
At about 9 the my second rid run and it was a nice fish, pop up bolies were working this took about 15 min to bring this fish in, 6Kg carp
I ended the day with 7 Carp of 6-9Kg.
My father in law and brother in lay arravied at 7pm Friday night and started fishing, Chris my brother in law did well Friday night 14 Carp.
I did see that fishing at night was better than in the day, the people next to me asked me to help them with one big Carp of 14.75Kg that came just after 11pm
Saturday was quight, may be the storm and change in weather, again I had 3 Carp and one barber. Saturday Night from 8pm was busy again. Chris and my father in law enjoyed the fishing and the camp fire.
We ended Sunday with about 45 Fish,
I will be going back there again this Winter with some different baits, snails work well, pop up boilies work well, but there are better or more effective baits for that location.
Will post pics on site tonight.

hey all
We keen to Hit meerhof for a session this weeken, sat till sun.
Just had a question, i read on some of these posts the best place to fish is next to the jetty or 50m to left of one of those dead trees.
Which one of the trees if anyone knows, last time we were to the right of the second tree from the entrance. Close to that point were the water starts moving back into the property.
any help would be appreciated.
Gonna try floaties with a dough/bread backing and see how it goes. We do have a canoe so will drop them nice and deep.
