what lure to use for vaal river

[FisherFriend]

Hi guys
pleas hope you can help planning massive fisging trip targeting carp and barbel
but wan to try bass as well ,what lures will work in the vaal river ?

It depends where in the vaal you will be fishing, have a look at the water colour and then it will be possible to say which lure or even better yet which colour lure to use!

Thanks for the reply
The colour lure wont be hard for me to get right but was wondering more like ,crank baits,soft plastic,spinner ?
The place is called die hoek (best spot for carp in Barbel i have ever been )it is at Bloemhof where the dam leads into the river.
Thanks again

I would go for plastic and spinnerbaits! With the spinnerbaits you can cover larger areas quickly and with the plastics you can fish very slow (summer conditions).

Howzit.
Ok so what would one use on the river between Vereeniging and VDByl??

 

[FisherFriend]

actually not sure at all ,I will still go spinner and maybe some dark soft lures ( 5" deep stik & twitch shad maybe )
