Strubendam bass fishing

Hey guys i haven't posted a lot on sealine, but I've read a lot.

Now I've seen there are a lot of anglers who struggle tremendously at Strubendam especially at targeting its bass.
Although i do still blank every once in a wile, i do catch my fare share of bass there.
I do also realize that billiardo posted an topic on this but people are still struggling heavily.

Like I'm sure a lot of people said, you have to fish extremely slow, almost dead sticking to have any luck.

Attached is a photo of the dam that i will explain now.

At spot 1 and 2, you have to fish wright up against the reads, with zoom finesse worms or zoom c-tail in watermelon seed and watermelon red. also one can use superfluke jr, but i have found that the worms work better. Further more fishing weightless is preferred, but a small 3g weight isn't an issue to get that extra distance.

Spot 3 is a bit more tricky, I've only caught a small number at this spot. I use Zoom horny-toads across the water-grass and again finesse worms in the reeds.

Spot 4. No use throwing any plastic there as i have never had any luck. I have had luck on a white chartreuse spinnerbait thrown across to the island on the rocky parts.

I do sometimes wade on the indicated area, and have only caught fish on spinnerbait along the reeds.

Also the blue indicated area does have sight fishing potential. You have to fish with superfluke jr not futher that 2m from the banks.

Hope this helps and please post if it did indeed help udocument.write('/images/emoticons/ifishing.gif');

Tight lines !!!:ifishin

Nice report bud. The no fishing zones are because of inaccessable terraine or private property? And are we allowed to use kayak or float tubes?
 
Thank u very much... :p

The no fishing zones are because it's a bird nesting site !!!document.write('/images/emoticons/f5.gif');
