Ons was Saterdag 7 Julie by Schoemansville oewer H

[gysbert]

hi Guys,

Went fishing on the weekend at schoemansville oewer club.
Must say i was impressed with how clean the bank was the morning when i arrived at the waters.Fishing was dead quite with not even a single bite insight.At about 10 the morning the water hyacints took over and i wasn't able to get a line in a leave it for more than 10min before the hyacints picked it up.Then all off a suden there were a green sluch for up to about 10m into the water(looked like green paint).I battled it out till abut 14hoo and then decided to call it a day.Hartie 1 and gysbert 0.

I think this is very common currently in harties as i fished De Rust two weeks ago and had the same problem.Luckly the fishing was a lot beter then and i managed to land a few nice carps with a few adjestments and of course some luck.

This will not keep me from harties as the fishing is good.
I will recommend, if you guys are up for the challenge to go and fish harties.

P.s. Remember to take the wader with.

Regards

Thanks for the report I guess harties has its on and off days. When I was there picnining in mid march there was no hyacinth and water was clear till 5 but I was there from 1 so not sure in the morning.

I know this topic is a bit old but I went fishing at the oewer club yesterday and we caught 30+ carp there most of which were in the 1 - 4 kg weight and my brother got an 8kg catch at around midday so fishing has definitely picked up. was speaking to a guy there who caught 90+ carp over a 4 day period

Hi, Harties sounds good then, have not been there for a while. where is the best place to catch, my kids will enjoy catching a few nice ones.

That's great news will give it a try one of the weekends hopefully we get a few. Did u take line in with a boat or cast? What distances were u guys fishing?

 

[Bonehead]

Turn down at the Wimpy and drive straight to the bottom, that's it you are there, the best place to catch is at day visitors spot. CAST from 20m t0 90m no further plenty 2 to 5 kg carp.Enjoy it. :fishn

Thanx for the info. Any hyacinth when you were there?

 

[Bonehead]

At the day visitors spot even on bad days you can still fish, its a great spot.

Just out of curiousity is this the shoemansviller oewerclub or schoemansville resort?

 

[Bonehead]

The resort the oewer club is ridiculous with pricing and hyacinth bothers you there. Look for the old boats at the gate and the containers from where they help the poor.

Hi there

Whats the facilities like for day visitors? Are the bathrooms decent and clean for the ladies?

 

[Bonehead]

A little primitive but clean. Work in progress to upgrade everything though.

 

[Parakiet]

Thank you for all the info Bonehead.

Can you please let me know if it is safe to camp there overnight? And what is the entarance fees?

Its nice to see that harties is still producing great fish :fishn

Thanks!!

 

[Bonehead]

Camping there is the safest of all the sites, sorry im not sure what the rates are but am sure its the best rates too. They do have a facebook page as far as I know with tel no's.

 

[Parakiet]

Thanks i did find the website and the rates is on there.

 

[Bonehead]

Enjoy. I found aniseed floaties to be excellent. I miss the place as I now live in cape town.

 

[Parakiet]

I will be going there tommorow morning and stay there for one night, which stand will you recomend?

Thanks for the advise will defnitly try it.

If you have any advise to catch some barbel there it would be appriciated.

Regards

At the camping spots I had good results at spot 57 and 58 but I camped very little as I lived 4km from there. All depends on wind and hiacyth. The day visitors spot has shade netting and I never had a bad day there. There are very few barbell in harties all have been netted. Not one blue kurper left.
