Don't forget the camera and please take pics with the lures still stuck to their mouths so we don't have to beg for the lure info....? Oh and good luck, hope the weather treats you's well.

To be honest. Witbank can make you or break you. But if you get the pattern and fish the right spots then it will be well worth your while. I would much rather fish witbank then any other dam around JHB and so

Thanks Johan

What do you recommend using, the usual plastics like senkos, brush hogs, etc. Have you had much success on cranks? Does Witbank's water colour get affected by the rain as badly as some other dams?

Much appreciated

Well depending on water colour. But your normal plastics (Watermelon gold, watermelon red and candy) will work very well. I have had major success on senko’s so I fish that most of the times. But Brush hogs and flukes work just as well. But that you need to determine when at the dam. They will short strike you till you get the right lure in the water. Cranks work very well on Witbank. But only on specific spots.

Yes rain does have a major impact on water colour at witbank.

I will PM you my contact number and will gladly share info over the phone. But unfortunately with a comp just around the corner. I will not share info on an open forum till after the comp

Will be interesting to see how the fishing will be with the rising water levels


 

 

[scuba]

i know... but there is only one way to find out and that will be tomorrow on the water...

 

[zippy]

Thanks Johan

Will give you a call then, good luck for the comp.

 

[Johanvc]

I think fishing is going to be very good. Think there is going to be some nice fish coming out

 

[scuba]

i hope so... just hope if it is then it carries on to next weekend...

The big question is how was witbank

 

[scuba]

the dam is full if you don't mind catching small fish you will have a blast...

 

[snyper564]

hey its better than catching abs nothing
