I did the signs when they were developing the quarry, and was blown away by the size of the bass in there!! Has anyone fished there recently, is John LeWarne still the owner??
Would love to report back after my session on Tuesday 29th March.
Weather Partly cloudy with 30% chance of rain max of 27C
Wind - Quite strong in the afternoon
Barometric pressure 1011(quite low)
We stared fishing at around 7h and I landed the first fish of about 700g after only 10min we fished the rotten timber with plastics but there was not much action, I think it could be the lack of CO2 around the rotten timber).
At around 9am my friend lost a big one with 3/8oz white spinner bait (the fish snagged him up in the trees). 11 o’clock we was forced of the water due to our hunger and thirst (our telly was standing at around 10 bass) and after a lekker braai we headed out again. We cranked the depths for the most of the afternoon that produced a couple of fish. Then I tied on a shallow running crank in baby bass and the tempo picked up, most of my fish that came out on the crank took the bait only a few yards from my float tube (I even witnessed a couple of takes)…later in the afternoon I fished top water that produced a lot of fun although I only managed to land 2 bass but I still saw some spectacular takes (its almost just as satisfying as to catch the fish).
If the weather was better we would most probably have caught more and bigger fish but it was still a lot of fun. Between the two of us we landed and released 42 bass for the day- just have to include that I won with 33 to 9 bass that earned me a six pack (I still have to receive my price).
I live like 2minutes away so as soon as i am awake i will load my v-boat and head to dam...i will skip the boks game i will rather fish than waist my time
Hi everyone,
Quite an old post I know.. Live in Pretoria now and was keen to try this quarry on a float tube.
1) Is there a croc ?stpime2
2) Is the owner contactable ? Or do people just go through the fence ?
Thanks!
