Water temp

[pomerob]

yep I have, yesterday some of the bays at RDW were sitting at 27.5, fishing was tough, well for me anyway. I only caught 1 @ 1.24kg the winning bag was 6.8kg and the 2nd place was 6.6kg. So obviously not everyone found it tough.

Oh well lots more practice is needed for me :lol:

I have also seen the high 20's at Witbank and Harties, we need some good rain to come down the rivers to oxygenate and cool the water a little.

When the water gets so high I always look for the winward side of the dam, if you can find some cover that offers shade on the windward side then all the better. Winward because the waves break on that side and oxygenate the water a bit more. Also if a boat throws a wake dont wait until all is calm again, throw in the splashing waves on the side and bring the lure through it :wink:

Warm water is normally quite clear so the waves also break the surface making it harder to be seen.
