New venue...any ideas?

[Nick10]

Hey ladies and gents

I am looking for a new venue to test myself on. Looking for a nice venue where it is safe to camp for a weekend and give myself a decent chance of catching some good fish. I have fished Basso, Rushmere/Laurentia and Donaldson...looking for a new venue not to far way...any ideas chaps?

Anywhere in the Vaal river between Standerton and the dam itself and then anywhere between Parys and Wolmaranstad.

All those river sections offer 20-30lb fish in abundance with the Parys to Wolmaranstad having a lot of developed lodges etc providing some creature comforts while fishing

Rheno on Vaal I got the best results with 12 30lbs+ fish in one morning

Try Kommandonek at Harties. One of my friends acquired this place about 8 months ago and it was in horrific state. They are now busy to revamp the place. I believe this was an proper place to fish in the 90's, but due to poor management it deteriorated. They also have an facebook page, so check them out.

As awesome as that Venue is..... NO VENUE ON HARTIES is safe. Theft and Robberies still occur even at Eagle Waters where there are roaming security guards.

The thieves have boats with electric motors and come in from the water and take whatever they want.

At Harties you will basically be fishing in a sewage pit. Not family friendly.

For me a no-no at Harties.

Follow Enigmas advice and fish the Vaal river, much nicer and safer if you go to the right spots.

Thanks for the advice Craig, but iv never done any specimen fishing in a river. Is it not a whole new ball game???
