Hi IanBass
Got confused with Kwaggashoek Dam Post yesterday and posted this question to Wetfrog, maybe you can help as well.
Where is the best place to camp and launch at Kwaggas/Brandvlei? I took a joy ride to Worchester Yacht Club yesterday and it looks very nice and clean but no jetty for the boat and the waterline is full of big rocks, no place to moor or leave the boat overnight as the rocks will scratch the boat to pieces if the wind comes up.
At first I didn't know about Kwaggas Ski Club, but reading up on it now, looks like a better spot with sand like bays.
Regards

Ian at that water temp the largies should still be in pre spawn mode. They females usually move onto the beds from 16 degrees, the smaller male fish move in earlier to look for nesting sites and prepare nests for when the females move in. That hen fish was most probably staging on those stumps waiting for the right conditions to move in and spawn.
Possibly on one of the next two or three full moons. However the fact that they are staging makes it easier to locate them. Any deeper structure close to a creek channel that leads to a shallow spawning area is bound to hold staging fish. Or any other structure like a stump row, rocky ridge or tree line that runs from deeper to shallow water.

Worcester yacht club sucks, I was there once with a m8, and got into a fight with the manager which was drunk. he told me I bought my skippers and tuned me kak that we dont know how to fish and bla bla bla. it also expensive there, R150 launching fee, then still your camping fee etc.
Quaggaskloof water ski club is tops, 110% service/friendliness/camp site/ablution blocks/bar/price.
the camp site is small however you camp on SOFT green green green grass! you could leave your boat anchored in the water or on the "beach" but better just to bring her out back onto dry land, weather changes in an instant there.
good luck
