Guys we had a awesome day and would like to thank Mike Pike for the arrangements

to you. Got there at about 07h45 and Toppie was already there doing the last min prep to the boat and what a stunning boat I might add. Mike got there not much longer after me and could see in his eyes he was amped for some serious fishing. Mike's boat is just what you need on this dam not to big and not to small and must take my hat of the you Mike your boat is well taken care.

So after a trip down the dam to the dam wall we started to fish and about 5 min in to the session my son not only his first real fishing trip but got hooked into a big bass. Man you should of seen this little guys excitement it was something unreal little bit of a "screaming girl" at first and then when he saw the fish it hit him now this is what its all about.

To all that took part Toppie, Deon and Mike Pike thanks mill you guys made it worth it and hoping the next one comes much quiker

Was very fun, except when my blackberry turned into a waterberry, still working so no worries. Higlight of the day must have been all the three boats riding in formation. Glad to be back on the ultimate side of life. Thanks guys for the awesome day.

.. great way to spend the day out on the water with friends , Clive Deone and Daniel and family , and Mike (isivuba ) and Jayden , who was the man of the moment and out fished us all with a fine size bass caught on lure , well done we have a top U.A angler in the making , the dam is a great venue for some freshwater angling and i can see a couple of trips on the cards in summer when the bass are more active , the facilities are pretty basic but it is out in the open country as one would expect , spent some time cruising around and scoping the waters out and a bit of bassing from the old days , was great fun , Thanks for putting in the time and effort guys and gals , will definitely do this again some time, herewith some pics from the day .
suppose you could call this a gathering of boats .

MIKE PIKE · « **Reply #176 on:** June 01, 2013, 08:51:43 PM »

Mike and Clive on the water.
