Hi All,

Decided to give RDW a try for a change.....

So what is new at RDW?

The dam is super full over 100% as the spillway is a bit interesting if you get with in 50 M of it.

Fish - well bass were a bit on the thin side we were only able to land 2 in two days and even they were rats.

I have never seen so much fry in a dam - there were a few shoals one about an acre in size near the spill way with what appeared to be yellows feeding on them.

Even the boys in the tritons with the 200HP+ were having a tough time in pulling fish. Needless to say RDW still feels like a F1 circut on weekends and I felt very much undergunned with my wee little 40hp with those kamakazi pilots screaming around the dam.

Did very well on the smalls. Got good size Vlei, Dwarfs, Blues and for the first time ever canaries in RDW.

Anyways cured of RDW for a bit now........

Ziyaad - Those feeshies are kurpers but they are Primarily dwarf species - less than 5cm.

Louis - Rhenosterkop - never been there ever would love to go but unfortunately I hear there are large die offs of fish in the dam currently.

Hi Ryan,
Will be talking to the spanner in charge of Rhenosterkop by end of this week and will ask particularly about fish deaths. Will report back. Apparently the dam is close to 50% full.

Dis my dam daai.

 I currently hold the dam record for that dam that I broke in July that stood for 15 years with a puppy of 3.365kg and a bag weight of just over 6kg’s. Now the record is not official as we still waiting. And Middelburg holds some smallmouth as well

Okay bass master - where do I begin?

Can you post us a map of the dam of where to fish etc - you can PM me if need be - what to use, What time where?

Are there any smallies left in Middelburg dam? I thought they had all been wiped out?

Might you have contact details for Middelburg and maybe how to get there?

Thanks VC

The spots i will PM to you as they are my secret spots. To the guys that takes offence. Sorry but understand that this is an open forum and if other guys get hold of the spots they will totally pressure those spots and at the end those spots will not produce and will be left like the rest of the dam.

I will also PM you the colors of each bait.

What time do you start fishing?

The last smallie that we know of was taken 2 years ago. But rumor has it that they are still coming out
