Mooi vis....hel al vergeet Vaal kan so vol hiasinte raak. Wonder of daai Argetynse/Patagoniese kewer nou sy werk doen want daar is rerig afname die laaste paar jaar, of vloede vind meer gereeld plaas om goed te "flush".

Would believe it as that stretch also called "Regina" in my opinion houses the biggest smallmouths I have seen. There is at least one or two catches of 6kg + being taken in that area per season. My homewaters where I started fishing and still return if possible.

Die Wilger het ook so paar 1m plus SM. :wink:

Ja toemaar kry gereeld whatsupp fotos van Paul Fick van daai monsters wat hy daar uittrek, maak skoon jaloers. Baie spesiale stuk Wilge wat hy daar het.

Skuus typo Wilge (r).

Ive seen smallmouths that looked like they could be in the 5kg range where I fish - especially compared to what I caught yesterday. But I like to fish sighted, and they tend to be cleverer and move away quicker than the 2-3.5kg fish. There is an abundance of the 2-3.5kg fish around also, which might be why I catch them so much.

If you fish blind at the head of rapids you should get into those fish eventually, but its just not the same amount of fun as stalking a fish you see moving in quieter water.

Agreed lower down at regina there are huge fish - but its hard to pop down there quick after work

Nou se^ vir ons waar jy visvang???

[yella]

Korrie - ek vang by Elgro, Oord Nebo en Schoemans drif - so niks magic daar nie. Dis alles 25 min se ry van my huis af. Ek dink daars groot visse orals in ons omgewing. As jy in spawn tyd n drift doen is die getalle en grootte wat jy in die rapids sien ongelooflik.

Nog iets wat interessant sal wees, ek het al muddies, smallies en babers sien spawn in die rapids maar nog nooit grootbekke sien spawn nie. Het iemand al?
