RDW on fire

Having a boat opens up water you can not fish from the side and gives you acess to shallow spots in the middle of a dam.

true but as i said this time of the year the camping banks are the sweet spots that should be fished...

That is true but in general a boat is better, think the guys with the float tubes are in good shape this time of year.

There were plenty sightings of crocs and hippo's there in the past. There are signs up at the gate warning folks about them but from my personal experience i have never seen any crocs or hippo's.

I have been told some stories by peeps that they seen crocs there.

The nature reserve gaurds drive up and down there so you will be in trouble if they had to find you on a floattube in any case.

I am not a huge fan of RDW due to overfishing, it's 2 busy for me there and all the city folks storm there weekend after weekend.

It is however a beautifull dam and natural atmosphere is a keen factor there.

Natuurlik ja!

Die dam is heel veilig, was al seker 100 keer daar en het nog geen probleme gehad nie.

But I will go out on a float tube in RdW, haven't seen any crocs near the accessable shores. I won't go tubing where the dam opens up though!

just to let you know there are crocs and hippo in the dam. and big crocs at that. i will put some photo's up... people ski and jet ski in the dam so it should be fine for some strange reason the crocs and hippos don't like to go to the camping side of the dam and prefer the nature reserve side...
there are braai facilities but with the weekend madness it is a bit difficult to get a spot...

Dis waar die camping grounds ophou. Ek vang van 'n boot af, maar ek het al gegaan sonder my boot om van die kant af te vang. Een trip het ons actually meer vis van die kant af gevang as wat ons van die boot af gekry het! Veral hierdie tyd van die jaar kant mens maklik 20 of 30 van die kant af vang op 'n goeie dag...

 

Ek sal seker volgende naweek 'n draai daar gaan maak, is so effens siek op die oomblik.
