duno if their is one in that area but SOLLY'S ANGLEING CORNER in Vereenagin has R6 for little ones and R15 for nice size ones(thats per padda)

hey since im typing does any1 know how u rig them dead or alive coz im fishing in the vaal river on sunday and have never fished them before. and wat trace and hooks should i use?

I know of a closer place in booysens booysens rd and mewett st

 

[deisel]

booysens fourwayd wood mead and randburg all sell em on the odd ocasion but the are bloody small, good live bait for yellow but if you want barbel bait get yourself some carp heads bud, i have been seeking platties for months and they are all so small i dont even buy em,,

 

[chad 001]

Your chic tells me they almost as small as you!!!! lol

Leons angling in Pretoria North had platties if anyone is interested.

 

[J_Bay]

Is it not illegal to use Platties?

 

[toobad]

I know for a fact that they are banned from bank angling but from LTB nothing yet.

By the way if you guys are looking for platties , I have a contac that can supply me ...

 

For more info please PM me (private massage) im sure I could hook you up with some platties and im sure the cost wont be so high as what you get them for in the tackle shops.

 

Thanks

As far as I know you may use them but you have to kill the plattie before hooking it.

The Cape Plattanna is the threatened one as now it is only restricted to the cape of good hope.
As for the use of other Plattannas - there is not threat and they are not protected - So unless you are fishing in the Cape of good hope -theoretically you should be okay

 

[Marthin]

to use them live, use a large bass hook, and hook them through the top lip/jaw.... use on a sliding trace.... IF you using a bigger heavier hook. hook through the top of the leg in the thick muscle. Better for the larger ones.

 

[Ignobilis Lunker]

You will save platties by hooking them through the mouth but behind the skull plate, we call this backbrainer. The platties does not break off as easily.

Anglers Den in bedfordview sells them, R10ea

 

[Craigis]

Does anyone know where I can get these in the Durban area?
And how easy are carp to catch for their heads?

Will Sardines work?

 

[basslover]

I just hook them through the top muscle of the leg.They are very scares, cant get proper sizes nowa days...

 

[Ryan]

Any oily or fatty baits will work....
Sard's, raw bacon, ox heart, liver, guts etc

 

[Craigis]

Like your AVTAR Ryan,
Should read...."Barbel anglers are tired of catching bass."
