I'm in just need one of you okes to teach me some fresh water fishing..... will bring the boat to

Not a problem Mike light spinning rods and line is all you need, I have plenty of lures, hooks and plastics to help you out, small mepps spinners work well for Kurper, small halco type lures are also ok for bass

we still need to pick a launch site though

As Dodger mentioned , Mike , i also dont have a huge amount of freshwater tackle so ive made do with my light estuary spinning reels and rods in the 6.6" to 8 ft range , also using small jigheads and Mcarthy minnows + have an assortment of small rapalas from years ago for the bass , Kurper i'l try to get with the tried and tested earthworms and float, i think we should launch from the site that Visop mentioned as well ...... now lets see if i can get Reefz to join us for the day ....

, should be fun , my boat is good for 3 up with tackle(myself +2) and then its a bit crowded after that ... closer to the time we can make final plans and arrangements as where to meet up etc..

I found a map of the dam showing the location of the Ntvl fishing grounds and the Wtvl fishing grounds, is the Wtvl now Dennekruin.?

That WTVL spot looks like Dennekruin yes.

for Roodekoppies, what do we need in the way of a fishing licence?

Rykie · « **Reply #26 on:** January 09, 2013, 08:30:43 AM »

sounds like a good plan,,, when we went there, we hooked up on some nice fish

MIKE PIKE · « **Reply #27 on:** January 09, 2013, 02:43:20 PM »

Right , so who all is coming .. ??

dodger · « **Reply #28 on:** January 09, 2013, 02:53:49 PM »

I'm in with my youngest son Michael, I assume we are launching at Dennekruin as it looks the easiest to get to? What time shall we meet there it is about a 2+ hour trip for me

What is planned for the day a braai afterwards?

I still haven't found out anything about fishing licences?

yes I am, also bringing my youngest Son Michael along. 2 on my little boat is perfect, but we could squeeze a third if we have to.

dodger · « **Reply #35 on:** January 10, 2013, 11:36:41 AM »

This will be my last fishing trip for a while, I'm booked in to have my right knee replaced on the 22nd, so lets enjoy it

MIKE PIKE · « **Reply #36 on:** January 10, 2013, 11:50:09 AM »

recovery is they reckon 6 weeks but I'm not holding my breath on that, it'l be a while until I go afloat as I want it completely healed before we go crashing around on the water. It's been on the cards to have it done for years but I keep putting it off. Next year I'll have the other one done.

Homie · « **Reply #38 on:** January 10, 2013, 12:12:55 PM »

Eish... not so cool 1
Lets hope we have a great day out...
