So, I dipped around for about an hour on Saturday only to catch one dwarf kurper. This dam is usually swarming with micro species like vlei kurper, dwarf kurper and mosquito fish.
Here's the lekker fat dwarf I caught. Rigged a small white Sada ball lure on an Owner tanago hook.
Very pretty coloured fish
Used my new & cheap (R50.00) Chinese copy of a Japanese tenkara rod. It's telescopic and folds down to just 51cm, but can extend to 3.6m and all the lengths in between.
It's easy to just pop into my backpack and take out when needed.
I attach a small length of line to the rod's lillian (the piece of string on the tip). To this line I attach a small clip onto which I just clip different pre-made traces as needed.
The rod has a very sensitive tip, so even small species feel 'bigger' ...
Also managed to pick up a 800g bass on a weightless junebug creature bait, using my normal spinning outfit.
Cheers
