Albert Falls Dam
Bronkhorstspruit Dam
Craigie Burn
Doorndraai Dam
Hartebeespoort Dam
Heyshope Dam
Inanda Dam
Jericho Dam
Kwena Dam
Lake Phobane
Loskop Dam
Middelburg Dam
Middle Letaba Dam
Midmar Dam
Mokolo Dam
Morgenstond Dam
Nooitgedacht Dam
Pongolapoort Dam
Roodeplaat Dam
Rust de Winter Dam
Spioenkop Dam
Vaal Dam
Vygeboom Dam
Wagendrift Dam
Witbank Dam
Woodstock Dam

...and I was just about to pay DWAF R160 for maps of Inanda...

you can also look at www.streetmaps.co.za as well. Search for the dam and have a look. Sorry to burst your bubble and I know you have put in a lot of effort. But these links were post a while back already

The more info that guys like -Dave put out for everyday anglers, the better known and better supported our sport will become.

Thanks -Dave. I'm personally quite tired of always hearing about that super secret drop off in the middle of the dam, or that awesome monster filled island etc. Now I can find it by my lonesome savvy self, with co-ords and knock it into my Dom-Dom to see what this secret spot fuss is all about, thanks!

Good Site!

I am a firm believer of Contour maps, just a word of advice. Make sure you understand the movement of the bass in different weather conditions. A contour map is only as good as the person reading it! Underwater structure is the best possible structure to fish.

Also if you competition fishing do not read the map the first time before you go on the water! You might end up spending a lot of time in un-productive areas. Do homework with your map and know what areas that hold fish before you go fish a tournament! If used correctly these maps will offer you consistant catches and also better quality fish!

My 2 c hoep it helps!

Well, it looks like I found it at the right time. This kind of info is really useful to all of the guys who don't have all of the hi-tech equipment that others are fortunate enough to own. Many thanks for a great site :)
