RUST de WINTER

[Enigma]

Guys that did a DVD shoot for Carp fishing at Rust de Winter this weekend reported that there were a lot of bass caught along the banks in the kloof section of the dam.

Fish don't seem to be on nest yet but are moving into the shallower water through the day as it warms up.

Lots of fish in the 1-1.5kg caught and the biggest seen was on the 3kg mark, all caught by shore based anglers

Should be good by Friday with 5 constant warm days.

That's what I "heared " as well, but on Monday, what I saw, was something different ... early morning, things were very quiet ... later the day you could see some activity, but not alot of strikes .. during the afternoon, you could see them all along the sides, with even the occational "big" one here and there, but they were still VERY lazy ... guess the water temp is maybe still a bit on the low side? ... I pulled ALMOST everything past them ....from top water lures, to plastics, to jigs, and even different flies as well ... they are very interested in anything that's got a bit of a sparkle or shine, but that's where it stayed ... we had two takes on the good'oll watermellon, and pumpkin seed ...but that was it ...
Think I will give it 2 - 4 weeks for the water to heat up a bit more, and then maybe they will be more active ...
