Went down to DK on Tues eve for about an hr and a half just from the bank and got 2 bass. one 2.2kg and then one small runt. right in the back by the 1st Island.
After that decided to take the tube out yesterday eve. Lost one small one and that was it. Was a dead dead session.
Anyone else having some good catches there lately?
Heading through to Eikenhoff tomorrow for a day of relaxing and a little fishing...if i survive all those small fish and hopefully hook into something bigger.

quarry, not allowed to fish. they see you, they chase you.
Heard last night a friend of mine got threatened to be arrested if he was fishing at Magic Forest again
DK nothing worth reporting, think the dam might be over fished now, maybe the closed season is not a bad thing as i have only seen DK get harder and harder to fish..
Im keen on a tubing trip to another dam, anyone keen? Any ideas?

Haven't fly fished in a while but i did today. Went to Klein Bottelary and got 4 bass on a white wooly bugger in shallow water along the bank, and a nice kurper too. And then got 5 others on topwater once the sun went down. good fun
Magic Forrest is dead as well. Way over-fished and is too risky to fish there. Thursday evening two bergies where stabbed and killed just outside the gated area on the down ramp coming from the shopping area. Cops and people are crazy about anyone fishing there. What happened? Where you ever aloud to fish there? Why aren't you allowed to anymore? Is it because of over-fishing? Too little spots in Cape Town area... I know there are places like Theewaterskloof etc, but most good dams are at least an hours drive from here.. This really sucks! What can we do to make our dams we have close by, better or controlled? Does DK being closed for a while have an big impact? Will the fish be thriving again by October?

Caught my first bass at DK from the bank this morning. My guestimate is 1.6 - 1.8kg. Nice and healthy! Only thing is that he took my line into the underwater grass. My line got stuck with the fish on it....had to go free it. I was chest-deep in the water!
Caught it on a white curly tail worm

I was at klein bottelary on sunday, and although it's not really allowed, one oke and his 2boys were throwing in small blue-gill they caught of the jetty...
Of the 20 people at the dam at this stage, they were the only ones getting hits, and they caught at least 6 lm bass, of which one was a monster!
Karma had it's say though as the floating portion of their jetty collapsed and they got pretty wet

Ha, was out there today but wind was hectic and the wife was not so keen to keep the kayak straight...
That looks like it was caught right next to the first fishing spot, also checked that corner and thought it would be the spot to focus!!
Will be back tomorrow on my yellow kayak so say hello if your in the area...

Yip, the ver first spot, those reeds made for a nice deck for me to fish off, and seems somebody had already flattened them nicely. Getting him out of there was an interesting task though....lol...

DK is a great dam to fish with huge carp! my friend caught a 17kg.
The bassing there is alright. my record in an afternoon there is 7 fish from the side sadly i dont have a tube.
average i catch in a day now is 1-3 bass.
If anyone is selling a tube or knows of any1 selling a tube please PM me.
