Possible solution to dangerous fishing spots

While I agree that we should keep the community informed of dangerous fishing spots, the solution might be to create, encourage and support safe private spots.

Firstly I think that everybody agrees that quarries are no-go fisheries.

There are guys posting the development of private fisheries on this group(Mr Attie, Johanvc). Bravo to them! Our support, in what ever way possible, will encourage similar projects from other land owners. We keep them happy & going, they keep us fishing.

I am constantly on the lookout for a dam next to a farm road with a board: "Bass fisherman welcome"

I think that if private dam owners become aware of the extra buck to be made from fishing, we would see way more fisheries close to our cities. I would gladly pay R100+ to fish a "Bass Lake" 10 minutes from Pretoria in stead of driving out R200 petrol and pay entrance. Many of us save that money and effort for the weekends, but we still want a midweek 2 hour fishing spot on our front porch.

Fact is, the more fisheries we have access to, the less over-fished the existing ones will be.

Anybody with a spot that fits this bill, will have my, and I'm sure many other angler's, undying support and assistance.

Thanx Billaridoo...

Thats why i opened up my own venue... Im tired of driving around for hours only to find out that they dont allow fishing at their dams or you pay an arm and a leg just to catch small fish, or any fish at all...

a Few weeks from now you will see a board "Bass Fisherman welcome" next to the road if you are driving through Nigel to Delmas...

We have an appointment at the Vaal, but befor we go, we do Mr Attie's wonder dam. Spoke to Johan and Zak Saturday. Johan gave us the full low down on your dam. It is close enough for me to go on a half day off, and you wil certainly see me there before the next full moon!

Would you mind if I spread the word to some folks? No skollies, I asure you.

I agree 100%, I think there's a lot of money to be made by people with private water.

I fished Attie's dam on saturday for a few hours, felt completely safe the whole time we were there!

Fishing was a bit tough, strong wind pumping, etc. Will definately be back though, looks like a great spot!
