Hi Antjar
Yes it is

Hi

I have caught that dam a couple of times and the biggest I caught and saw was +- 1.8Kg.

They are very hard too get from just the side and during the day.

I have caught a couple of times at night although it isn't allowed.

The bests was big white spinners during the night and during the day black grubs.

Like I said I never seen anything bigger just there might be monsters I was at a private location this weekend and the owner said that there is a 5Kg bass in that water and the dam is not much bigger that the R50 dam.

Later

Look at the dam, how clear is the water? What works today might not work tomorrow... try a natural looking bait early in the morning, perhaps a popper resembling a baby Bass, if that fails, try a twin tail worm, if all else fails, throw a black & red jig bait...
Truth be told, in my experience, Bass baits/preferences can change within an hour on any water, the more natural the better! If you dont get bites, try and annoy them in into aggression takes or impulse bites... Jig baits, if worked correctly can be deadly on slow dams... Smash it into structure ontop or in the water, dont be afraid to work it.

Hope this helps..

Hi guys
Thanks a lot for all the input. The dam is not very clear at certain spots. I do have black jigs and black/red jigs as well as some black horny toads and black lizards and black senko's. I'll give these a try, and won't forget to throw in a spinner or a popper!

The dam has certainly changed since the last time I have been there, I can clearly remember there was a bank close to the entrance where the water was shallow and clear, and one could see some "MOTHERS" cruising around in the shallows, it appears that this bank has now been excavated in a way.

Any locals/regulars out there?
