Hehe by the time you read this early Thursday morning I will have been on the dam for a few hours already.

Not sure what it is like but have seen some seriously good pics of decent bass from the dam.

Great having a dam like this just 60km from my new home......

Have a great Thursday all

This is the Place for people to learn how to catch bass - they are full up currently - they will take anything - Did not hook any busses but anything up to around 1.5kg came on easily - I took them on Plastics, topwater, crank and Jerkbait...
Jeepers that place can get warm though.....

Hi Ryan.

Is it open for the public??

If you dont mind me asking, give more info, sounds like a good spot to have some fun, and maybe let mommy catch her first. Then she will also be hooked, ha-ha-ha. Just what I'm be waiting for..............

Great venue, I fished it a couple of years ago, it had a very healthy population of Red breasts who would smash inline spinners, I got one of 800gr if I remember correctly.

Plenty of crocs too, if you shine a powerful torch over the water at night there are eyes everywhere, even had one of about 5ft pick up a barbel bait at night.

Mokolo dam entrance on Google earth Gps Co-ords 24 40 26.66 S and 27 42 00.30

A bit of info:

1. The dam is safe to sleep over in tents. You can leave your stuff and find it in the same place when you get back.The place is enclosed and they have people at the gate.
2. Gets extremely hot in summer can get 50 odd degree's.
2. There is no electricity - take a generator.
3. There are taps - fresh water
4. Showers and toilets - real rough but work.
5. "be careful of the penn doring thorns" for punctures
6. There are chalets directly opposite the entrance to the dam, leopard and cubs lodge but its costly.
7. I've stayed over in a place called "kudu Canyon" (Cindy) 082 9324464 / 014,7633820.
To kudu canyon gate Gps 24 01 26.47 S and 27 42 04.42 E. Turn left when leaving Mokolo dam it's about 2km on the left.

Fishing is better from dam wall up, not the basin part in front of camp sites.

Fish can be found in most if not all gullies. fish like the green yamamoto worms with the salt. I normally fish 4 inch but larger will work.

Hope this helps. tight lines
