Carp eating maize at Shongweni

Carp - Anglers have been relatively happy with the results over the last week, with temperatures not being as low as they should be, the fish still seem to have been feeding well. Shongweni has fished decently, although not too many fish were landed, but the average size has been good and maize seems to be the winning hook bait. Albert Falls Dam has had many smaller fish landed on maize, while we have also heard reports of big fish being landed near the river mouth on boilies and tigers. Midmar has been very quiet lately, but saw good angling over the weekend with three fish over 10kg reported.

Bass - Bass angling has seemed to slow down a bit over the last week or so, probably due to the fluctuating pressure. The weekend did, however, see a good change and fish were landed in numbers around the Midlands area. Albert Falls was again the dam of choice, with reports from the locals of fish weighing in over 1kg and above. Shongweni fished well from the banks over the weekend, but nothing too big was seen. Hazelmere has been productive with most fish being landed on brush hogs and small Strike Pro jerk baits, which is relatively unusual for this time of the year.
