So this past weekend I went up to Swellendam for a 21st, and i was gana hit Buffeljas dam...but after speaking to some people there we decided not to go, and rather go try a private section of the Breede on Sunday. So we got in contact with a guy from Swellendam who had connection with a Private farm right on the Breede, and went fishing for about 1,5 hours before we left for home on Sunday.
The piece of river had a little dam wall, with nice structure everywhere. The wind was pumping a bit, but they showed me photos of the 3kg+ Largie that they had caught there, so i was amped. We got down to the water and within like 10 - 15mins i had caught 3 largies, that put up a really nice fight (must be cause they strong river bass). The other guys also pulled in a few largies. Then there wasnt much action for a bit. So we all moved over to the other side of the little dam wall and fished there a bit. It was almost time to leave when i hooked a real fighter. I thought it was gana be like a 3Kg+ largie the way that thing pulled me around. But i pulled it out and it was a good healthy Smallmouth bass. Best fight i have had ever. Those river bass fight MUCH harder than dam/lake bass.
Was great. Sucks that we only had a hour and a half to fish, but it was worth the extra traffic we hit on the way home.
Here some pics
