I fished the roodekoppies bonanza. Launching is easy with slipway, facilities were very good where we were, with toilets camping and braais. Think I paid R100 for the entrance. Fishing was excellent. Carp barbel and bass

if you are referring to the dam near Brits in North West then it's Roodekopjes. I think some people call it Rooikoppies.

You can launch at the old Northern Transvaal grounds or Dennekruin, both have easy launch sites and ablution blocks etc. Dennekruin fees were R80 if I remember correctly, NTVL a bit more expensive I think.

If you want to camp I will suggest the NTVL grounds, Dennekruin is much smaller and it gets a little bit cramped there over weekends.

A 5kg bass came out at Roodekopjes a while back. I've caught a few 6lb+ kurper there, lovely dam with lots of structure etc...

the 19th sounds like a plan as well, which launch site you planning on using?

it's one of the dams that I've not fished, I know it's on the 511 past Brits, does anyone have directions to the launch sites?

Maybe we should make this a semi social/ fishing day , those with boats can bring them and spend the day on the water , not sure how much bank angling can be done + boat space is the limiting factor... put some gazebos up at the launch site or close by for shade /braai-ing etc ...

who would be interested in doing this ....??
