Roodeplaat Top 10

[Japie]

Hi everyone.

I fishing Roodeplaat quite alot these days but without much succes. Can anyone please help me with what they consider as the Top 10 dips for Roodeplaat.

Roodeplaat is not about dips. More about presentation on the day. Find the fish rather than try and lure the fish to you. It is not an easy venue. I have heard most guys say Almond is the way to go, but this is not nearly as easy as it gets. Go to www.damcontours.co.za and check out the contours for Roodeplaat. Try to fish in water that is at least 5-10m deep. Most success is had at night. Someone I know swears by Tutti-Frutti. Others say maize with a floatie. I have various success with various thing on one day. And then I go back 5 times and catch nothing.

Hope this helps,

Tight lines!

Thanks for the advise. While ago Bloekom oil worked well. Never really had succes on Almond, but also hearing that it is the flavour to go with.

Have checked the website, but can't seam to find what shade of blue  is what dept.

You must zoom in further and it will show you the contour lines with the depth in feet.

Hi Japie, Naruto is right, this dam is not easy, what works today does nothing tomorrow. I fish the dam from a boat and I have reasonable success. I suggest you create a sweet "voerplek" where "smell" will attract the fish the next time you go. Keep in mind that not too long ago they sprayed the Hyacinth with herbicide, all the plants have died and have sunk down to the bottom creating a soft layer of algae with your bait hidden away somewhere in the stuff. Try a pop-up/floatie next time you go and see how it goes.
