Lucky you I will be at home 
Morning Guys,
Well Sunday morning we climbed in the car and headed of to Rhenosterkop. On arrival there must have been approx 30 to 40 vehicles and trailers in the launch area. The weather was overcast with sun breaking through every now and then.
The oldman & I launched the boat headed off to the top left section of the dam and on the way noticed a large increase in the volume of aquatic vegatation - quite challenging..
Water was warm (24deg) and merky with a stiff wind blowing. Fishing was slow and the oldmam managed to land a few small ones (+- 500g).
At about 13H00 we left that section and went down to the island but the wind and weed made the fishing very difficult so we continued down past the island. Managed to find some nice channels in the weed where the bite rate started to increase.
We drifted approximately 150m of the bank into the weed beds and I started fishing a 1/2oz silver colardo blade spinnerbait with long casts and a fast retrieval over the top of the weed, then WHAMM....the spinnerbait was smashed on the surface and landed a beaut of 3.2kg. Nice upgrade on my PB.
A slow days fishing had just been converted to a AWESOME days fishing.
The oldman also managed a new PB of 1.6kgs. Well done and thanks for a lekker days fishing!
