Northern Cape bass fishing

[Dellas]

Does anyone have any info on bassing in the Northern Cape? I'm moving to Kathu over December and don't know any bassers from the region.

Any help would be awesome!

I used to live in KBY and the only bass fishing we had there was at the army base.

As far as I know either Kathu or Kuruman has a nicely stocked bass dam which is managed by the local fishing club.

I recall reading somewhere on this site (think a post by CBC) that there were bass in Spitskop dam which is not too far from Kathu.

If all else fails there is some awesome artlure opportunities for Yellowfish and Mr Whiskers in the Vaal and Orange River.

Other options (quite a bit of travelling though) for you would be Gariep Dam or Taung Dam.

There are also a couple of private dams in the Warrenton and Vaalharts districts.

In the new Bass angler they have a whole article about Taung dam looks good

Daar is nogsteeds n dam net buite Kathu. kiaaple of so iets is die dam se naam. Hy is baie klein, Ek neig nou al vir die afgelope paar maande om daar te gaan vis maar kom nie so ver nie. Was al so 3 keer daar maar soos ek se nie gevis nie nie. Ouens met wie ek gepraat het het al bass gevang maar niks groot nie. Water is silwer skoon en kostes is soos R10 pp.

As dinge verloop soos ek beplan sal ek die naweek daar uitkom.

Ek werk tussen Postmasburg en Kathu

Ok die regte spelling is khai Apple dam.

Ek was vandag daar vir so 4 ure maar niks gemaak nie. Kan wel se die water is mooi skoon maar geen beweging van bass nie. Ons het 'n koue week agter die rug en vandag was heel aangenaam. Oorweeg om more weer 'n besoek aan die dam te maak.

Klein maar ontspannend

Thanks kamakazi

Eks bly jy het n draai gan maak. Eks bly om te hoor dat daar mense is wat wel se dat daar bass is. Jy kan nie dalk n nommer kry van die hengel klub daar nie? ek het die bord daar gesien van Sishen hengel klub.

Geniet jou dag.
