No idea, but get hold of either Johanvc or Ryan, I'm sure they'll be able to give you the most recent and up to date info.
I am not too sure how witbank fished the last wile. But I do know with the rain we had your best bet would be to fish the main dam. The water there will be dirty but would be better than the river sections.
If you are fishing of a boat look for drop offs close to grass banks and fish cranks DD22 and DLN’s in Chartreuse/ blue black pepper and Western Firetiger and Sour Grape. Try and find a open sections in the grass and cast to the drop of side. So retrieve from the deeper water over the drop and in between the grass. IF they don’t pick you up when you hit the drop then they will follow the crank in to the grass and slam it. Have fun. We have picked up some nice fish doing this.
Also if weather gets a bit better cast texas rigged dark coloured senko’s in to the grass and work it slowly

Hi guys
im going to witbank dam next weekend and need some advise. im new to bass fishing but have caught since i started and last time i was at witbank dam me and my brother went to almost the middle of the dam on our way to the spot we wanted to be and the bas looked like piranas as they where around the canoo and we started casting. they where jumping and we could see them move in the water but they where not taking anything we where casting. i had a baitcaster and as i cast my worm i had a overwind and as i was fixing it a bass picked up the worm and ran like hell and my instinct is to strike and the spool wasnt cliped because i was busy fixing the overwind. so im sure you all can imagine what my reel looked like and i lost the fish.
what should i use or where should i go because i know there are a lot of bass in that dam.
any Tips for the new idiot?
