Last I heard about the nature reserve was in 2012 unfortunately... I know then there were huge Barbel that spooled a mate of mine on a weekly basis, Carp average size of around 2kgs I believe.

Yeah, I know the feeling! at least you did 1 better than me so far this year !

Scored a bumper December/January in Richards Bay off the dolices. But nothing doing with the dams this year!

Having withdrawal symptoms and ready to take on the cold weather, might try something this weekend.
