Hi Grant,
Chances are, since you are in Gauteng, that it is carp that you see. Barbel usually swims around and surface opening their mouth's gobbling up what ever is on the surface. That does not mean that is all that you have to go for. Unless you want to target carp. Chances are that there will be bass in those waters as well. If you do target carp be sure to have the right gear. Carp grow very large and you can easily hook one of 10 kg's or more especially in winter time.
This is what you can look forward to targeting carp in winter:

Caught this one and about 15 like it recently at a place near town called "The Pan". Primarily a carp venue similar to those you have in Gauteng.

Fishing is just my thing. I don't know what it is but it seems that i just can't get enough of it.
