Thanks Man,
And yes, there are obviously all the B&B's in Eshowe and the Protea Hotel's Shakaland. But I wanted to stay right at the water, so I got permission to put up a tent in the Dam management's construction yard. As long as you leave it in the same way as you found it, and don't forget that it's a favour. You will still need security though, speak to Clifford Coetzee of Alpha Security Group on 0829457205.

How big are they?
Reason I ask is this sounds very typical of grass carp - it will be really sad if they are in that dam as they murder all the vegetation. However I have not heard reports of grassies being released into Goedetrouw. Suspect that it might be scalies one of the chaps caught one in the 2kg range there last year on a bomber never seen a scalie so big.
Have you caught Nembwe there yet - sounds like they come out on a regular basis.
Again one of the guys caught one there during our leauge event.

I just heard the other day that Nembwe are in Goedetrouw, Revo told me.:-0
These fish are about 100-150mm long and are very silver, and have the same shape as a little tiger fish. When they jump out the water they seem to dart out and back in without a noise/splash at all, unlike the burp/plop of a carp and the tail thrash of a bass breaking surface.

Thanks BigBass.
this winter WAY warmer than usual...temp at inanda sitting between 17.6 and 18.5 in the cleaner water. fish Very confused! last year same time the water temp was 16.5 and we found some serious honey holes! Now? nadda niks nothing
got one fish on friday...1.85kg, seriously fat boy thought he'd way 2.5kgs but the scale doesn't lie. spinnerbait on fence did the trick 5mins into the days fishing. the rest of the day we caught jack!soO frustrating but then again we were on skis and couldn't mission up to the dirty water where we would surely have caught more.
saw one other fish come out at the quarry on dropshot rig but it was small
perhaps i should just wait till mid aug and hit nagle hard
tight lines guys

You guys are seriously spoiled in Natal....The vaal rivers max yesterday was 12 degrees,morning it was 7,8 degrees...But ja well excited for pre spawn and spawn time!!Not so far away anymore!Will post Johan's little fish tonight that he caught yesterday, 2nd cast for the day caught about a 400gm fishy and after that nothing!!!!!Vaal river is a killer!!Even for the pro's....hehehehe.
I still think we needed to go more up to three rivers side...hehehe...but ja maybe it is because they opened the sluice gates at the vaal dam, because ja there was allot of debry(spelling)...But like i say, if you pass the klip river the water is allot cleaner!!Check it on google earth, if you know where the klipriver exactly go into the vaal river, you will see something really scary!!
JOHAN thanks again for a brilliant day, even if we didnt catch anything accept that little rat, was allot of fun catching from the boat, but it took me a couple of casts to get use too esp. standing...im so use to sitting in my tube and cast.
But ja still an awsome experience...hope those Culprit lures will come in handy one day...hehehe
