That first fish is a very nice one, did you weigh them? If not I would say that one must have been in the region of a kilo or so?
What rig did you use?

That first fish would be a keeper for a comp. But it would only weigh in at between 500grams to about 700grams if that much. Witbank fish are long and skinny

Caught them on a plain texas rig, with a fairly heavy weight to get it out as far(deep) as possible.
Had one of them old spring scales and weighed about 850g. Not a very reliable one should get me a new one, what’s the cost on them these days?
Anyhow, my mate was at vasfontein on Saturday and caught 4 bass over 1kg, said he tried everything, finally got a hookup on a plain silver mepps no.2.
I reckon winter bass is a species on its own…

Winter bass, yip you're sooooo right they're a completely different species of their own. Them scales (the electronic ones) are a bit pricy but worth it none the less. I bought one of those Lipgrip ones (cause my fish kept falling on their @sses) and it was R750.00 check the photo of the nieghbour holding my fish in the pic.
Did you peg the weight or was it sliding?
LW, boet my suggestion is move up here, at least here our greenies are HUNGRY or agro, doesn't really matter as long as either of those two things put them on the hook, heeehaaaw!

Well Heloouu Loams
Where have you been, Yeah, My bud also busted a LGF on Sat using a spinner the Meps kind (Only this one had a chartuese shine on the blade) and later in the afternoon he got another on a much larger Terminator spinner bait also Chartuese colour.
I must also say that most of the LGF's we got on Sat took the lures (soft plastics i.e. grubs and brush hogs) on a slow (not stationary thou) retrieve and fast retrieves on these lures didn't produce any fish, so my deduction is that they are getting into winter feeding mode although they still have a small way to go...

Mr loams it’s called power fishing. Yes in winter fish want your lures right in front of their mouths so that they just open and eat. Fish don’t want to waste energy on swimming after their food. But sometimes in winter fish want faster moving stuff. That’s why you will see me fish jigs and bulky baits for slow fishing during winter and cranks, chatter baits and some spinners for power fishing.
