@@Stian760. hi Stian, ek beplan om einde Oktober n trip te maak, is maar besig die jaar so ek kom maar nie by die visvang uit nie. Beste tye is maar vroeg oggend of laat middag, ek doen beter in die Vaalrivier in die oggende en by damme weer laat middag, dit hang maar af wat die water temperatuur maak. Wens ek kon nou gaan met die hittegolf, baie goeie tyd vir pop en jy sal vis regdeur die dag optel.

@@rods_recoilDankie oom Ek het die naeweek laat aan in die vaal rivier n paar kleintjies opgetel Sien uit na die volgede video

@@sufyaanmayat great fishing! Bloemhof can be very rewarding, but also tough in winter. Really need to get back there and target the monster catfish.

@@alexandrom323 in this video I used a Pard NV007 clip on device (also has night vision), perfect for small calibers with no recoil (the device takes up a lot op space between the scope and your eye), I later upgraded to a Trigger cam 2.1 - Thank you for watching! 🎯

@@riaanheenen5116 ek het lekker swaar gedra en daai berge breek n man gou, dit is n lieflike geweer, net jammer dis nie myne nie! 😂

@@geyervanwyk262 ek het die oggend toe ek ek my 270 inskiet bietjie scope issues gehad en moes toe die thermal op hom sit, die geweer wat jy sien in die video is n vriend se 6.5 - ek moet nog my toerusting bietjie upgrade, kom al meer in situasies wat ek verder moet skiet en dan sukkel ek. Ek besit n Musgrave 270 en Brno 223

@@romioningthoujam7764 hi, the Diana stormrider is not a very expensive gun, in my country they cost about R4000 (South African rands)

@@ecprecisionshooting thanks! The small boat allowed for another angle, but I need to mount the camera a bit further away with a better angle, will see what I can do🤞🏻

@@WRFishing thanks man. Raak te oud vir die kick boat😂. Kan nog nie die groter waters vis nie, maar sal nog daar uitkom.

@@rods_recoil jy kan my maat. Net op die regte plek launch

@@WRFishing sal spaar vir n petrol motortjie en plan maak, die groot damme hier rond het soms krokodille, seekoeie of albei. Sal bietjie kyk watter damme ek kan gaan probeer en plan maak.

@@colejfishingadventures thanks man! Appreciate the kind words, also enjoy your content, keep up the good work and keep on 🎣

@@caz13 can try Homestead, bass lake at Henley on klip, Thabos dam - Bronkhorstspruit side is also a lekker kick boat dam. Actually sold my kick boat just this morning for a small boat. Will miss the kick boat a lot!

@@rods_recoil Thanks , Living in Cape town got into Kick-boats and my buddy got one as well and catching my first smallie and Bluegill from the kick-boat great experience compared to bank bassing, moved back to jhb a few months ago now looking to get back into fishing

PS Great videos !

@@caz13 thank you! 🙏

@@caz13 the places around here (I stay in Centurion), are sometimes a bit crowded and sometimes unsafe. I like fishing farm dams or more private venues, but unfortunately no one watches the videos, more popular venues get better views. Still enjoying it though!

It was really cold, when shooting you forget about the cold, but as soon as you sit still and wait again it gets you!

More Piet, daar is baie karps in die dam, en die Bonanza word soms gewen met visse van tussen 4 en 6kg, die karps byt baie goed in die aand. Ekt nog nie gehoor van baie groot karps wat daar uitkom nie, maar ek self het al baie gevang daar, voor ek videos gemaak het, op papgooi. As die dam laer is, vang ons die karps ook lekker met n loodkop in die vlakwater.

Hi Heinrich, nee dis nou winter, ons sal eers weer in Sept begin prop, na die reen, voor die spawn. Sal nie nou baie suksesvol wees in die koue water.

Ekt al n paar babers gevang, maar dit nog nie gesien nie, was n eerste vir my. Ek dink baie mense onderskat babers, hulle word gereeld geklassifiseer as "scavengers", maar hulle is uitstekende jagters

@@rods_recoil jap ek stem saam...ek weet van n oom wat reg deur die winter pop vir hulle..hy vang sy grootes juis in die winter,meeste mense dink dis n somer ding...ek self het nog nooit gepop nie maar dit lyk rewarding....sal laaik om eendag saam jou n vis uit te trek of n jakkie saam te kap

Hi, where are you from? This is a private farm and one needs special permission to hunt there.

⁠@@rods_recoilFrom Johannesburg 😊.

Die was my eerste keer by die Vaaldam en ek het bietjie meer verwag, maar sal weer in die somer probeer en kyk wat gebeur. Hopelik dan kan ek n paar mooi karps land. 🎣

Thank you! Just needed a nice fat carp or two! 🎣

@@rods_recoil You should visit Aston Lake, in Springs. The fish are amazing. I fish there quiet often.

The long range rods has the Okuma Aventa pro 6000's on and the short range has got a Shimano XT6000 on (one of the older models, green colour). They dont make that colour anymore.

@@rods_recoil Cheers for the response. I know the brand Shimano but not Okuma so I will check them out. I was last on the Vaal dam back in the 1980's ( caught 2 x 3kg Carp ) and not sure to return since I left SA in 1999.

The Okumas are good value for money and comes with 3 x extra aluminium spools per reel, if you buy the pro version. These reels are perfect for our conditions with the bait runner function. This was my first trip to the Vaaldam, will be a lot better in summer, but as of yet we havent had a very cold winter thus far.

Ek gaan defnitief verskillende oewers probeer en hopelik gaan dit beter volgende keer! Moet bietjie meer aandag gee aan papgooi😂

Hi Stian, vang jy van die kant af of van n boot/kayak of so iets af? En wat is jou budget?

@@rods_recoil ek vang van die kant af meestal maar nou en dan van boot af Die budget, so 400 tot 600 rand , nie veel nie

@@Stian760. van die kant af soek mens n effense langer stok vir meer afstand, van boot af weer bietjie korter om makliker jou visse te land. My favourite stokke is die Sensation Power vir spinning en tans gebruik ek die Okuma tactical 7'4 vir casting (hul is nie te duur), maak maar net seker jy kry n heavy aksie. Die heavy aksie gee jou net bietjie meer backbone as jy die visse moet weg hou van struktuur af, ek vang self soms met n medium stok, maar net wanneer ek nie struktuur hengel nie. Hou eerder by n heavy aksie. Hoop dit help!

Baie dankie oom dit help Baie.

Somer, bietjie gesukkel daai dag. 🎣

Hi, I changed the channel from Viskunde to Rods & Recoil, all my new videos are in english. Also had a few people ask me to go the english route💪🏻

Hi, I edit on Final cut pro, started with Imovie 3 years ago, great software to learn the basics and very user friendly, when I felt comfortable I upgraded to Final cut.

Thanks Allan, I hope to make a video like that sometime in the year! Scaling down a bit on making videos, financially it gets the best of me! Hopefully somewhere jn the future things will look better!

It surely is costly I mean one of your videos is like a holiday for me so I understand, and your videos are way beyond Hollywood standards packed full of quality I bet that costs a penny and a half! Ouch.. but, like I said if you were interested , you can do some research, and it is not only the "bushcraft" or "solo" in the wild, there are also people who pack all fishing gear and go on for 3 days , like, being creative and eating what they catch and all that and they are popular, imagine someone popping for barbel, catching bass (super skill), catching carp and hunting at the same time super epic ! But in all in all THANK you so much for making these videos I enjoy them A LOT always best of SA on the net !@@rods_recoil

@@allannortje6440 thanks a lot! I will do some research and see if I can make a plan! Like doing the camping type videos, just need to add more elements! Thanks for watching and the positive feedback!

Hi Heinrich, jy pla glad nie. Die prop metode sal orals werk waar babers aktief is, maar soek areas weg van menslike aktiwiteit en geraas. Eerder vuil as skoon water en kyk vir struktuur. Hengel van Oktober tot Maart, na die spawn en voor die winter.

Very similar, but the pumpkin we use hangs about 40cm under the popper. The videos I've seen with the whopper plopper, the catfish go for the lure itself. 🎣

Plesier, en geen probleem. Ek is hier om te help. Ek hengel standaard op 40cm as ek vlakker hengel en sal na 50cm toe gaan as ek bietjie dieper hengel. So dit is nie te lank nie, maar gaan korter as jy vlakker hengel. Wanneer jou popper bo op die water is, moet jou pumpkin bo die bodem wees, hy moet nie gaan le op die bodem.

@@rods_recoil ek wardeer dit op reg oom sal nie glo nie oom het my inspereer om te begin prop ekt nou vir my n tactical stok en n c55 ceymar gekry💪 oom is n legend

@@heinrichswart5331 laatweet my as jy enige vrae het! Jy gaan nog dik visse vang! Die prop metode is baie lekker as mens hom eers mooi verstaan. Stuur sommer fotos as jy iets vang. Belangrikste is net om dit te geniet!

Ek maak so oom duisende dankies geseende week verder

Het jy darem iets gevang al op die popping metode ?

Hi Heinrich, ek probeer altyd bietjie vuiler water hengel, dan maak dit nie regtig saak nie, maar as jy skoner water hengel dan kan dit n verskil maak, ek het nie baie sukses in skoner water nie, probeer maar die vuiler water hengel.

@@rods_recoil my pumpkin lyk half natuurlik dit is n big cat popper rig as oom weet hoe lyk dit Ek het proebeer om het hom poppers te kry maar my visvang winkels het nie vooraat nie so is daar dalk n visvang winkel is pretoria wat hulle stock?

@@heinrichswart5331 +27 (84) 724-2360 jy kan direk by oom Pieter bestel. Hy maak die Hethom produkte. Hy sal ook kan se waar om te kry. Ek het vir lank met die Big Cat popper produkte gehengel, niks fout met hul nie!

Hi Tiaan, this is a dam on our farm.

Thank you for the positive feedback Brendan! I hope to make some new content soon, will add more chest cam footage! 🎣

Definitely the best quality of fishing videos I have ever seen ! Well Done !

We chose that weekend, because the predictions looked great, but things quickly changed the Friday night with thunderstorms and wind. Always fished the dam when it was low, all my favourite spots were covered in grass so I had to work out a new plan, the kick boat only allows me to fish limited areas, but we still got plenty of fish, just not the fattys! 🎣

Thanks pellie. My goed sukkel maar met views, maar ek hou aan🎣

@@rods_recoilmaak twee van ons pel. Bass visvang se viewers is maar min

Thanks! Subscribed! Keep up the good work and keep those lines tight! 🎣

Hi Leon, ek sal slegs n lang leader fish as ek klippe hengel, braid sny maklik af op klippe, maar in ander gevalle sit ek net my fluorocarbon tussen my popper en pumpkin.

As die kondisies saamspeel oor 2 weke! Hang net af van die wind! Ek is so lus vir n groot baber dis nie eers snaaks nie😂

Ja nee ekt self net so lus

😂 This was my very first TH-cam video, 3 years ago. Had copyright issues with the music so deleted it, nice to see how far I've come and how much I learned along the way. Always room for improvement😎. Really like your content! Really good quality videos!

Dit is nou die beste tyd om te prop maar ek sal seker eers einde Nov of iewers in Desember n trip kan maak. Begin Nov gaan ek bass vang.

Dit klink goed, my gewere is maar nog soos ek dit by my pa gekry het, ek het eers onlangs bietjie beter scopes op gesit en ook die silencer juis sodat ek die geweer meer kan/moet gebruik. Hy werk lekker vir scope cam footage oor hy min recoil het. Van waar is jy?

Daar was omtrent baie tarentale, ons het ongelukkig meer gefokus op die vlakvarke en nie baie skote geskiet nie, sal ook graag bietjie so iets wil probeer! Die 223 is omtrent n lieflike geweertjie

Thanks. Yes the 18,13g JSB's are very accurate, only downside is the wind. In this video I only shot to about 50m, but on the longer ranges I sometimes struggle with the holdover.

Its always great to play with a new gun, they are like women, all of them have their own settings and preferences! Enjoy the new gun!
