Good bass action at Albert Falls

Carp - Here are some of the Msinsi rules and regulations for waters controlled by the Msinsi group in KZN. Two lines and three hooks per line are permitted. A hand net or gaff may be used for landing fish, the latter being frowned upon by most anglers. Nets, other than landing nets, are prohibited. In non-Trout waters, treble hooks and lures are prohibited. Live bait may be used, only if the bait has been taken from the dam which it is being used in. A 30cm scooper may be used for collecting bait. Bag limits.

Bass - Weather conditions and pressure cells have been fluctuating severely, which is usual for this time of year. Many anglers will see this as a bad thing, but the more experienced anglers will use this to their advantage. Bass will often sense the low pressure cell moving in and start to feed rapidly.
During the cold front the fish do not stop feeding, they only become less active and move into warmer pockets of water, making them more difficult to locate. Bass will also feed well after a cold front as the surface temperature starts to warm up again. Give it a try, there are two cold fronts expected this week so go test out this theory at your favorite dam. Albert Falls and Inanda have both fished well recently, with Albert Falls producing good bass between 1.4kg and 2kg. Shongweni is also picking up after its drainage session and most anglers who have visited this beautiful dam have caught bass in the shallows on surface lures like the Strike Pro Gobi Poppers and Thai Sticks.
