Monster there's a quarry, but it
s been closed off due to a new development that was started there, it's between the N1 and R21 interchange you can see it from either travelling south.

Many there is lots and i mean lots of bass, there is also kurper barble carp and dont forget there is a 6kg koi in there yes u heard me right koi, just 2 though they swim with the carp. There are monster fish in that quarry and the water is crystal clear not even a slight discolouration. I fished the quarry a few times last year but unforunately it has been closed due to construction but only towards the end of dec. Boths dams are fishable the main one has many bass but the smaller one has bass to but has alot of barble caught a 2 kg and 1.8kg barble while fishing for bass within 10 min of each other. There hope that info helps concerning the quarry

Bud you have to own property in the development to go fish there, or you must be proficient in Bull-Shaitting which will only allow you two -three casts and perhaps another two on te run back to your car....
I spoke to the security guard he said u can fish from 3 in the afternoon. but i spoke to the main builder guy he said its closed but i think the security guard may be right. i went many times about 8 times last year dec i think and i dont own any property and i had no problems. if someone can update on the fishing situation would be nice even if its just from 3 its better than nothing.
Went to that quarry on my way to Struben dam today ... the gard at the gate says that the owner of the development, does not want anyone fishing there anymore, so they are not allowed to let anyone through for fishing .. 
After that, I went to Struben from 1pm till around 3:30pm .. strike a blank ... no bites ... nothing .... someone passing me , did however caught one earlier the morning on yellow spinner ... I saw lots of activity in the water , but they just didn't want to byte .. tried yellow spinner, junebug grub, watermellon grub, and a few other spinners ...
Maybe it was just the wrong time of day, or maybe the fish was a bit "wary", cause there were also allot of kingfisher activity on the dam ... I will FOR SURE try out this dam again ... I wonder what the bottom of this dam looks like, cause there are sure ALOT of things snagging the line, sometimes when retrieving the spinner, the snagging is so bad, that you're not sure whether it's a bite or whether the lure is just getting snagged through something like sticks or rocks ...

What the bottom of the dam looks like? well u will never see that day cause that brown is the dams colour all year round. i usually catch fish at struben between 7:30 and 11:00 seems to be the right times. And yes there are alot of things snagging the lines but u are able to start reading the water after casting a few times to where the snags are. Dont give up i blanked the 1st time i went and its free so no worries there. Its really unforunate about the quarry was a really nice place to fish hopefully it will be open once development is finished but thats just maybe wishful thinking

Only if you stopped next to a crashed truck that was transporting just those lures and they are lying scattered across the entire N1 in boxes of 300, cause you lose those kinds of lures like a zimbabwean counting $1 zim dollars to buy a car...... I've personaly lost four chatterbaits on one day, and several other weighted lures..... not a lure or budget friendly dam.
