Hi Zaheer, thank you! You won't be sorry going to Erkhamka, some of the best accommodation at the Vaal River. The road is definitely bumpy in patches but you don't need a 4x4, it's a standard dirt road with rocky bits. It might be a bit more tricky if it's been raining but you should still be fine. And it's around 20km, so should take you no more than 30mins. The only downside is if you want to go to Parys for lunch during your stay, that becomes a bit of a drive...

@@Anglinks thank you so much for the information. Just some clarity... Isn't Erkhamka and The river House 2 different venues? I'm enquiring about the river House specifically. But glad you gave information about Erkhamka as that is one of my considerations as well lol

Thanks a lot Lourens! Sorry for the late reply, we've been fishing as usual :-)

Thanks again Mohammed! It was a really good trip :-)

Hi there. On that day we only fished from the boat, but we saw lots of people fishing from the camping area. And according to reports it's really good fishing too :-)

Hi Geoff, sorry for the late reply. Yeah in this video we didn't do too well, but we've been there since a few times and caught dozens. We're very glad you caught some nice fish though!

Thanks a lot, yeah we were quite lucky :-)

Thank you very much Pieter!

Thank you! Is that the one near Dundee? We have looked at that place in the past, and next time we're in the area we'll definitely give it a try :-)

Haha, yes we couldn't believe it either! And I know it seems like a waste of some pretty great biltong, but we were desperate :-)

And also you guys should try Tolderia resort in Mpumalanga,we caught like 50 bass and a PB, but i think you have to stay or they might allow day visitors.

Hey Rishen, this is definitely a really good venue for bass but there are no carp in the lake in front of the cabins. But if you're happy to drive to the spot at Ebenezer Dam (on the same farm) and set up only for the day, then I think this is the place for you, we saw lots of massive carp there...

Haha, we've stayed there a few times already, it's one of our happy places :-) Have a look at the video we did, th-cam.com/video/_iqBjpEqm6I/w-d-xo.html

Thank you!

Thanks again! We keep trying to improve :-)

Hi Hamza, I don't think so, I think you need to stay there :-(

Hi, there are quite a few places you can go including Middelburg Dam itself, Pienaardam Resort, R50 Dam, Witbank Dam and even Loskop. Have a look here for some options, www.anglinks.co.za/mpumalanga-fishing-spots/

@@Anglinks thanks cause we tried at middelburg dam but no luck for 3 days😭

We'll never stop! But sometimes we get a bit sidetracked by life :-) Happy 2024 to you!

Dankie!

Thanks! No not at all, you can keep what you catch, we just prefer to release.

Thanks! For bass it's really difficult. But we found there are so many other species to target, which makes the overall fishing experience awesome.

Hi, not a bother at all :-) We caught them mostly on watermelon red grubs, and flukes. We actually a lot more detail on the blog post, so please have a look here for even more info, www.anglinks.co.za/2023/04/fountain-hall-guest-farm-mar-2023/

Thanks! We loved Loskop, so much life, hopefully we get another chance...

Hi. Do you want to know where we live? Or where we stayed in this video?

Thank you :-)

Hi Tian, sorry for the late reply, we were away again. There is a number and an email address that you can use, have a look at our site for some more info, www.anglinks.co.za/2018/06/rietvlei-dam-our-local/. But to be perfectly honest you may not get any response. We've found that the best way is to physically go to the gate and doing it there...

Thanks Mohammed!

Thanks Keegan, that means a lot to us, that's what we're aiming for :-)

Thanks Geoff! Hopefully a lot more soon, we've been fishing quite a bit but I've been lazy :-)

Dankie! Ja die Midlands is regtig die moeite werd. So baie fantastiese damme, en so baie visvang verblyf, dis bass hemel :-)

Thanks Michael! Yeah it's a special place, and those egrets come around the corners like white waves. Awesome to see :-)

Hey, how are you? Yes we finally made it there in our boat and it was an excellent first visit :-) We're planning to take the boat down there again in Feb hopefully if all goes well. We also want one of those legendary Alberts monsters...

Hi Arrie, I think we know exactly where that is. The River House where we stayed in this video is also in Renovaal, right next to Von Durust. That is a very good section of the river, some really big fish there! We'll try to visit them soon, we just need to save up again :-)

Sure thing! We hope to return one day :-)

Hi George, thank you very much! Yes, Arabie is definitely not suitable for kayaks, just too many huge crocs. We haven't been to De Hoop yet, we couldn't find suitable accommodation there, but we hope to visit it next year some time. Happy fishing :-)

Thank you very much, we're glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks Michael! Yeah, I can imagine Albert Falls had the record at some point, some huge beasts in those waters...

Thanks :-)

Thank you, we've got a lot more on the way :-)

Haha, jy gaan dit nie vergeet nie! Ek probeer nog vir Linky oorreed, sal moet wag vir 'n baie warm dag :-)

Thanks Mohammed :-)

Thank you very much :-)

Hi Ruben, that's amazing!! We were there on Tuesday, the day before you, and caught 6 bass of about a 1kg each. So you beat us, well done! :-)

Thanks😮😅

Thank you too!

Baie dankie! :-)

Hi Michael, it' always great to hear from you! Yeah we've been busy with some other projects but we're focusing on our fishing again now with winter almost over, so expect much more regular posts from now on. I guess we could try but I doubt they will feature our photos, there are so many others catching much bigger fish than us :-)

​@@Anglinks, - there are lots of photos of fish published which are not close to those species big or record sizes! ... Can ask Tight Lines magazine if they may be interested! As example, ask them if they would like a compiled feature of dams etc, with photos, ... 🎣

I think you're right Michael, we should at least give it a shot...
