I do not know Roodeplaat, but a friend of mine fished there about a week ago and caught 5 bass. The biggest one was about 800g. He caught them all on a rapala, do not know which colour etc.

Try the bay at the Nature Reserve (where the wooden bird watching structure is) on the right passed the island when sailing from the launch area. Watermelon red or gold fluke or same colour horny toad might work well. I caught a couple there. Also try the bank where the SAPS "office" is towards the dam wall.

There are some big bass in plaat just difficult to catch them. During the spawn was good, but since then I have struggled.  Water clarity isn't good at all.  Glad to see some guys pulling a few out - maybe the dam will liven up before winter.
All my success on green plastics too, but the water was much clearer before the rains... Lets us know how you get on...
