Getting Juniors Started

[smurf]

Hi Fishing Mom.As a spot to start with,going to Eikenhoff dam is great fun.Best to use smallish plastic worms with a small weight if fishing from the bank...they should be able to catch plenty,maybe not monsters,but they will be catching a ton of small ones,which is still great fun and will give the kids an idea of how the bass take lures.
As for Angling Clubs in your area,I am only aware of Helderberg Bassmasters which is located your side of town.If you browse the SABAA (South African Bass Angling Association)website,you should be able to see what they get up to.Contact Pierre van der Merwe on <!-- e --><a href="mailto:pierre@fandfcooling.co.za">pierre@fandfcooling.co.za</a><!-- e --> who will assist you.These clubs fish mainly from boats at the various venues around the cape and have a Junior facet where junior anglers are taken on boats and compete against each other,leading up to the selection for Province and National Colours.
As a more social aspect to angling,there is a Kick Boat circuit that is fished and hosted by this BFSA site,but that would require the purchase of a kick boat or float tube ...be warned,this is a LARGE money pit that you are getting into,but if it gets the kids outdoors,it is the best investment ever.
