Where is the best spot to catch the big kurpers in

The opposite side in the area of the elands river.

Where the water has pushed up into the flats amongst the trees provides top fishing and I saw a few Kurper of up to 2.8kg come out there.

When the Kurpers take an afternoon rest find the 8m+ water in the river drop off for some 10kg Wild Carp

They are generally in 2.5-3m of water amongst the trees.

As the water warms in the sun they'll come closer to the surface making float fishing better option from 10am early morning and afternoon fishing with bottom traces amonsgt the trees seems to produce the best results

There are millions of carp in the dam.

Boat fishing in 4-8m of water on a day old feed bed and you're going to average 5kg of some of the strongest carp around

I have 2 x 14.4kg Carp as PB on the Dam and have seen silver Carp of over 25kg landed.

Bank angling your carp are generally smaller as you don't have access to deeper water.

We did fish a carp league there and with feeding boilies and particles we got the bigger fish to come in and averaged 4.8kg per fish with over 500kg in 48 hours by 2 anglers.
 
Thanks for the reply,we will be fishing of the boat.Any tips on bait and dips.I enjoy the kurpers butt to have a nice size carp on the line is just as good.

Hi there Dirty Harry

I love that dam. My best results from the boat was on Plain supercast feed and a plain floatie (big). The I spray the ball and the floatie with Yellow Activator with one line of Arabie ball dip. My best catch from the boat was a 8.3kg carp and a 1.6kg muddie. I only use 25 pound brad when fishing from the boat. Also have a look at your hooks I only use a no3 and up. I have seen plenty no3 come out straight from those waters.

When we target carp off the boat we drop a feed sport of freshly boiled kaboems with boiled chic-chic. Fish for Kurper and head back once kurper are quiet or when feed is working

Fish one large floatie and one almond pip and we pish #5 hooks and when they come out straight or the fish are aggresive then we go to #7 and even #9
