So I was retrenched recently, and on Thursday afternoon I got the news that I landed a position at another company. My wife and I decided on the spot that we are going to visit some friends of ours in Swaziland. On their farm they have a small irrigation dam with Bass, and I didnt expect to catch any big fish, so I only took my ultra light kit. This kit consists of:
2 X Berkley Cherry wood 6"6' rods. One with a Shimano 750FB reel and 6lb fireline and the other with a Shimano 1000 reel and 4lb flourocarbon Berkley Vanish.

On day one I caught a couple of scrappies on topwater frog and Mepps #3. I also landed a couple of +/- 1.5kg bable that decided my Mepps is just the bomb.

This is until this mama took a liking to Kermit, and kept me busy for the better part of 2 or so minutes.....

On day two I had a few blow ups on my frog, and no interest to the Mepps, so I tied on a watermelon green (I think) 5" fluke and from there on it was fish after fish. I caught about 15 Bass in a matter of 3 hours. The three most notable fish are the three pictured here. All in all, a pretty damn good day from the bank. If any of you are ever going to Swaziland, do yourself a favour and stay at Willows Lodge ( Swazi Willows Lodge Website ) and ask William or Derek if you can fish at the dam. The place is about 20 minutes from the Royal Swazi Sun, and about an hour from Maguga dam located in Malkerns. You will not be sorry.
