Hi guys, was planning on fishing here on Sunday but cant get enough company, is anyone keen on fishing here with me next Thursday?

 

[MarvelousMark]

J i`m definatly interested provided i am free.. will keep you posted..! Do you have a rubberduck..?

 

[J]

Hi bud, so far the plan is to go on Thursday, I will be fishing from a yak, do you have something that floats?

 

[MarvelousMark]

J howzit..!

I`m afraid i dont have a floatation device, and from what iv`e read you need one..

Thats why i asked if you had an inflatable, Anyways no problem, maybe get together for a session at a later stage if you like..

Enjoy and may the force be with you..He he..

Hope you catch lots of bass there...!

Cheers

Just for interest sake are there any carp in this quarry?

 

[J]

@ Hennie, I am not sure about the carp, when I spoke to the owner he said there are Bass, prehistoric size barbel and a few Blue Kurper.

My fishing buddy cannot make it tomorrow so I wont be going.

Who is keen to come next Thursday? I will bring an inflatable which can take 1 or 2 extra people?

I m very keen to fish here but want to be in a group the first time.

This has to be one of the best reads Ive had in a long time! It was like a short story!

'The Quarry!!!'

If you guys head out there again please take pics, I want to see what this joint looks like as well as the structures below the incredibly crystal clear water.

MarvelousMark, you can join me on my inflatable.
Excellent, so we are 4 guys for next Thursday, I might have another friend or two that will join aswell.
Remember its R100 a head.
What time should we meet there next Thurs?

hey guys..I know that dam very well and have been fishing there since i was a small picker!(sneaky of course)..

Seeing as you want to go at this time of the year(winter)and seeing as ppl struggle at that dam..Heres a few tips;

-Use bulky creature baits
-Texas riged of weightless(flukes are the better option for this rig)and a A$$KICKER=dropshot!!
-Lures must be dark in color(if your fishing deep.But in shallower water use narural colors)..
-Cast as CLOSELY to T H I C K cover as possible(thick cover combonations are even beter eg.reeds,gras,timber all in one spot)and let it lie for about 5min before giving it a SOFT twitch every 2min or so...
-Use low vis line


heres the rigs;

Hi guys,

I bought myself some breathable waders and havent had a chance to test them yet.

Im heading to the quarry tomorrow morning for n session on my float tube if. Any company would be welcome.

Ill be there at 07h00.

 

 

[MarvelousMark]

Done deal J.

Hope the weather is going to play ball..

Traffic taken into account from JHB i'd say 9-10 in the morning.! What say you.?

Also fishing in the afternoon is probably going to be better than in the morning being winter, thats my experience on Tzaneen dam in winter..
