hey guys,

been frequenting bronkies lately and have been rather successful, we would however like a more fruitful fishing experience and considering the cold and all the good things we have been reading hearing and seeing about rust de winter we would like to go there as it isnt much further than bronkies.

The one problem is that we cant find any info on it regarding the pricing of camping/entrance/launching/fishing etc? Could anyone that has been recently help us out with the issue?

The other thing I was considering was Roodeplaat and Harties, are the two dams still producing or would it be best just to drive the extra 40min and go to Rust de winter?

thanks in advance for the help :kaykak

Hey Smoking Toe

I was there 2week ago.

It's about R65 for 1 person plus car plus kayak.

I think R35pp, R15p car and R15 for the kayak. Never used the kayak because of the crocs but the gaurd at the gate said you are very safe if you use a kayak. :fishn

Thanks Christopher, We just rocked up and were totally ready to pay the price... It was however rather cheap. All inclusive trip was R100 per person, including petrol for the boat and petrol to and from rusties from Pretoria. But that's because we manned the boat with 4 people. :) Its R10 per person R20 per car R50 for a boat and R50 for fishing from a boat.

Was alright... we each managed to land a fish. Got 6 fish for the full day. We fished hard and it wasnt producing extremely well but was adequate. Plastics seemed to work best in watermelon colours, and that electric blue lizzard. The one thing we noticed is that the fish didn't fight nicely in the mornings or late afternoons, only good fights were put up during the early afternoon.

I think bronkies might be a better bet at the moment?

The current cold front coming in and the winds makes just about anywhere unfishable... If you going to fish anywhere I'd wait until at least tuesday next week.

Anyone caught bass at roodeplaat lately? Or ever? Just had a nice trip to tzaneen, what a dam! Bass are a bit slow, but still there. Wet the bass fishing appetite and I am wondering if roodeplaat is worth trying because i am often around there... Throwing the odd fluke should be cool. Even better if there are fish : )

Guys, haven't fished Roodeplaat since the hyacinth became a real problem (you couldn't move) but even before then the fish was kinda slow, still have to muster enough will and go there real soon.

RDW can be tuff at times but still think it is the best venue to fish during winter
