Hi guys ill finally be on holiday after a long semester and wanted to take one of my friends fishing. He has all the gear etc. only problem is all the trips we have had I have caught and he hasn’t not really a great start and the only one he could have caught he lost. So im looking for a place we can go next week Wednesday that will almost guarantee a bass or two. Im looking for a place in a 50km radius of centurion and bank angling only don’t mind paying just not something ridiculous and it should be safe. Your help will be gladly appreciated thanks

hey sniper, try rietvlei dam, it is in the rietvlei nature reserve.It is about R35 p/p and boast with bass,carp, yellow fish and barbel even bream.
Directions
From the R21 take the IRENE RIETVLEI DAM off-ramp. Drive in an easterly direction, at the first 4-way stop street turn right towards Olifantsfontein and the St Georges Hotel. Drive for 1,5 km, crossing the Sesmylspruit. On the left is a sign indicating RIETVLEI NATURE RESERVE, turn left and follow the road up the hill to the main gate. (Drive past the stone entrance until you get to the offices and entrance gate).

necrovis, great to see that you from middelburg. I been waiting a long time to get someone on the forum from middelburg area.
I do plenty fishing there and recently got involved in carp fishing. I still prefer the bass offcourse but if you fish a dam like the one we do on the other side on middelburg well then carp fishing is great. (never seen something like it).
i will pm you some time and tell you about some unbelievable fishing spots in your area.

If there is Bass in Rietvlei (NOT) then you'll struggle your behind off just to get past the fine water grass, entirely not worth it. Try places like Roodeplaat's Nature reserve Western Banks, Ithumela Bottom three dams, other than that the venues start with less and less chances of getting a guaranteed fish or two, places like Vasfontein, Thulani, Struben, Techno Park etc. If you really want guaranteed fish then you gotta travel further than 50k's to places like Klein Paradys (Brits), Bass Lake (Vereeniging) etc. I know budget is tight but, a once off better venued trip is much better than a couple of "carpy" ones.....

Nec's, no probs bud, I work around the corner from Rietvlei, and have visited it several times based on the assumption that what I've heard from peeps that there's bass in them waters, but alas I doubt that very much as I spent some serious time and used all the "this one's Gonna work" lures to no avail. You can fish for the other species but Mr Bigmouth, my opinion, No way! Some-one please prove me wrong, please?

Claims are made by several people including the Friends of Rietvlei org, they are the ones that mentioned the survival and I think re-establishing of yellows were to be done now that the bass have been removed......

Nah sorry bud, since I got into baitcasters and cruiser-loads of rapala's and zoom plastics, I've lost all interest in other freshy fish.
Necrovis, if you do come past pretoria during a weekend let me know and i will take you to a spot of mine in pta.
I will pm some good info about fishing spots in your area. I fish waters between witbank and ALL local surounding area and i know nice spots there.
There are some spots in the middelburg / Hendrina area that brings tears to your eyes.
When i come down during April i will give you a call.
