Vaal Dam 03/10
« on: October 05, 2010, 02:31:16 PM »
Went out to the Vaal Dam ( about 2 kms past Draaifontein). Caught 9 carps and 2 barbel for the day. All carps were between 1 and 3 kgs.
Bait used was SWD and bunspice floaties.

Oh the barbel took on mielies.

Tried fishing off the ski but the wind was a bit too strong.
