Tierkrans Vaaldam
23 – 28.12.2010
Venue:
Water Level: Increased with 20 – 30 mtrs.
Obstructions: Only patches with grass and the odd tree branch
Weather: Warm, Cold, Rainy and Windy for almost every day
Catches:
Mixed bags of grassies and small carp was caught at 40-60mtrs, whilst decent fish were caught at maximum distance. Nice muddies were on the bite at about 100mtrs plus, whilst the anglers with the baitboat got decent carp at 160mtrs.
My catch:
Carp: 1
Grassies: 4
Muddies: 13
Dips and Combo’s:
1. Rooi GP /Perdeby/FX
2. Strawlic/Tjop/Tjop, I later added 2006
3. Ebony/Banjo
4. Hot Honey/looti
5. TAC/FX
6. Duiwelsdrek/SA Powder (Windy)
Traces:
0.8 Hooks, 7lbs hooklinks (14cm long) and a topedo spring
#1 Hooks, 7lbs hooklinks with a spring and small ball weight.
Summary:
A very disappointed session for me. I never struggled this much at the stand and hopefully will never again. At least I learned some new tricks wrt the bom and brown bread backings.
Pictures to follow.
