Hi,

I went to Port shepstone last DEC. And I can recall there was a board next to the road that said bass fishing near the hibberdene off ramp. I cannot remember the name.

Anybody else know the name of this place?

Name you are looking for is Tuckers Bass, They have about three dams there all well stocked, I haven't been there for a while not sure on how it is fishing - closer to Toti on the Umbogodwini off ramp there is a dam called Mnini, Good fishing there ,slipway available...
good luck

The Tuckers dams are approximately 20km south of Scottburgh at the Ifafa off ramp. You can speak to James Tucker on 082 567 3661. There are very few public dams along the South Coast. Most of the dams are private farm dams.

What I would suggest is you enter the Paddock fishing compo on the weekend of 26/27 March. Paddock is 20km inland of Port Shepstone and you have access to 42 farm dams. They normally have about 300 anglers enter the compo and I promise you its a jol. They also have R50 000 worth of prizes. You can even camp at the farmers club if you want to. They have food and drinks available at the club. Registration is on Friday evening and the compo starts at 06:00 on Saturday until 18:00 and again at 06:00 on Sunday till 12:00. The gees umongst the guys is amasing and well worth experiencing.

I can also point you to some local farm dams around Port Shepstone and Paddock if you are prepared to travel the 40km from Scottburgh.

Send me a PM with your contact details if you need any help.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the information!

After a good break down at Scottburgh I did not manage to get my line in the water to try and catch some LGF's but did spend a couple of morning's trying to catch some salties but with not luck. :-(


I did spend some time trying to get hold of Tuckers (Tuckerstours) but with no luck. I did speak to one of the locals who mentioned that they had closed...I am not sure of the validity?

But a good holiday was had by the family and we are back in JHB and into my 4M x 3M hell hole to earn my bread and water for the month.

Here's to some good fishing in the next few weeks!

Hey Nemo,

I have and do, fish Florida Lake at least once a week.

Swan Ave side is goo as well as the section from the swimming pool down around to the jetties. (clock wise direction)

The fishing at the lake is monitored quite heavily by the local angling club which is great!
