Anybody at Amigo's / Rietspruit this wekend ? End April 2012

[AndriesH]

We are off camping - on lawn for a change - at Amigo's near Ventersdorp.

Anyone else planning an outing there?

I would appreciate some guidance from anybody familiar with the place and the fishing techniques.

We will fish conventional - pap, mielies, floaties, bier en 'n skaap ribbetjie op die braai.

Backup bait will be braaid boerewors for baber - I can vouch for this - it works.

All baits will be cast.

I feel like leaving the keep net at home as we like making a fuss over any fish caught and that is also the best time to get the biggest smile on the angler's face for the photo.

I'll also be testing the old recipies: brown bread with ........
Custard powder.
Currie powder.
Vanilla essence
Egg yellow essence
Rum essence
etc.

for some reason, I think these old baits have been neglected in recent years.

One you forgot,
 
Brown bread "doughed" with Windhoek Draught.
 
In the Cape it works with with Spar doughnut rolls
 
There again the Cape Carp don't know that brown bread exists.
 
They are far too used to Caviar in Truffles.

Scweet like a lemon - if the fish they don't bite and there is any left by Sunday morning - for sure.
