Hi Guys

What is the latest with this dam in terms of fishing? Is it open and may we fish it?

The weather seems stunning and i want to take my float tube out on the water and catch some bass.

Or if anyone has any other suggestions?

I am now officially getting back onto the bass waters after hibernating in my office with excessive work.

Hope someone can help before the day is over.

Jip the dam opened a fe weeks ago. Make sure you have a license because there is a security guard. Haven't fished there but have been wanting to. Maybe this weekend.
Anyone have reports about fishing there lately?

I went there last Sunday with a small inflatable boat and two friends. I caught 5 largemouth bass and my friend caught 3 all in two hours behind the island at the inflow. All were above 1kg. I caught mine on a baby brushhog in watermelon colour. Security gaurd had no problem with my boat he just checked my permit and informed me that I need a special Doordekraal permit.

Sooo...

I fished Clanwilliam the weekend, 3 sessions, 2 fish.

I just returned from fishing the quarry, and not even a take...

I am guessing that i lost my touch, or the fish have gotten smarter..

Any tips for fishing the Quarry?

If the weather holds im considering tubing Doordekraal the weekend.

Hope someone can shed some light on the matter :fishn

Who's been fishing at Doordekraal lately? Any good? Not just Bass, fishing overall. Worth getting R150 permit?

Thanks

Ja guys are catching plenty bass there lately. but have to be on a float tube. From bank is difficult. Dunno about carp fishing.

Thanks Frogstar. Awhh don't have a float tube.. Safe to go for a bit of wading? Need to go to the tackle shop.. My top piece of my rod broke and now I have to order new one! Hopefully I can get the permit there as well.

I'm a complete noob and can't seem to catch anything at the quarry or Door de Kraal....guess it's only me being a newbie and the fact that I'm fishing from the shore

Anybody had any luck fishing Door de Kraal with horny toads?

Hi Ripstorm, well I'm also bank angling. Havn't fished there yet, but I'm sure there is plenty of people who can give you advise. Where is the quarry you mentioned? What species are you targeting?

Ja dk can be tough sometimes. Never tried horney toad there but catch on senkos, uvibes, creature baits, flukes, and jigs.
From the bank is awkward as there are only two spots as the dam wall is off limits. Often these two spots have carp fishermen on them. You can wade at the two spots to improve your chances.

The quarry is the dam right next to Cool runnings (the bobsled place). Think it's part of the Stellenbosch University. I'm targeting bass mostly.

Frogstar: Thanks, will try some other lures when I go again. I don't like wading into the water because of the leeches there. Guess I should just suck it up ;)

DK yesterday, DEAD, barely a nibble.

Quarry, only a take on a crab. The bass, kurper and Barble just looked at the lures and swam away. Not interested in biting at all.

Yesterday, fishing in general? Drinking was way better...
