Hi fellow bassers,

I'm hoping you can give me some info.  I don't have a tube or an inflatable boat (YET) and I am currently just using my wader.  Is it possible to use the wader at Homestead dam?

And the other Pretoria/Centurion/Gauteng dams/areas?

Any advice will be appreciated in helping me catch some nice big bass!

Hi swarley81,

I do not have much experience with regards to wading for Bass. However wading does tend to stir up all the mud and debris lying on the floor of the lake/dam therefore making the water murkier....is this a good thing? I my opinion no.

Secondly, wading in water is as graceful and stealthy as a cat with a bird bell on its collar...again my own opinion?

Please let me how well this works as I am keen to know?

Personally, I've never seen the need to wade into any of the Gauteng waters ... the dams are either small enough to reach any spot with a proper cast, or else the water is too deep to wade in any case ...
The only reason I would wade, is if I'm trying to do some bass fishing with my flyrod .. so that I have some space behind me for a proper fly cast... 
Rather focus on getting that float tube ...or v-boat ....or inflatable boat .... THEN a whole new world of possibilities will open up for you ..
