Catching monster carp at the chalets - Rietvlei Dam

In October we had another opportunity to stay in the chalets at Rietvlei Dam in Pretoria. This time we had less luck with bass but we caught some monster carp and improved a few pbs in the process.
Another great weekend at one of our happy places...

🎣 Well done Martin & Linky, nice big carps!
They may have got you a good ranking in a competition! 🎣

[@Anglinks]

Thanks as always Michael! Yeah maybe, but at Rietvlei, when the fish are biting, you can almost expect those sizes :-)

[@pieterlabuschagne7507]

You guys landed two beautiful carps. Congratulations 👍

[@Anglinks]

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

[@melletrical66]

A very good weekend for the two of you. Well done. 🎣🎣🎣

[@Anglinks]

Thank you!

[@teeeC]

Awesome catch guys. Forgot the bucket of water again for the PBs. Lol

[@Anglinks]

Thanks! And yes you're right, we did forget :-) We'll do that in one of the next videos...

[@charlodendal]

lekker Martiens!!

[@Anglinks]

Haha, baie dankie, Chelsea Bun! :-)

[@tiancoetzee3869]

How do you go about booking a Chalet at Rietvlei?
I'm struggling to find any info om the government website

[@Anglinks]

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...

[@wollie4358]

Nice video, nice fish. How many people can sleep in chalets

[@Anglinks]

Thank you! It depends on the chalet but in general 6 people, some of them 8.

[@gerhardbyleveld536]

On a PB normaly you get a bucket of water over you ,so you own us that bucket

[@Anglinks]

Yes, you're right Gerhard! We promise to do that in one of the next vids :-)

[@paulocavaleiro-krugersafar6884]

Nice video, and nice catch… pity that the weekends go so quickly. Where can i find info and pricing on the chalets?

[@Anglinks]

Hi Paulo, you can try our blog at, www.anglinks.co.za/2018/06/rietvlei-dam-our-local/. Let me know if you need more info...

[@paulocavaleiro-krugersafar6884]

@@Anglinks thank you will look into it, how many sleepers

[@mohammedaqeebyusuf7399]

Wow those are some amazing fish 👌
When are yourl coming to fish bellpark and spioenkop dam again ?

[@Anglinks]

Thanks a lot Mohammed! Not sure, maybe in the new year when we head down to Midmar again... Can you give us some tips? We didn't do too well last time...

[@mohammedaqeebyusuf7399]

Awesome
Whenever I fish those two dams I usually use banana floats and milie bomb that usually does the trick
Also in Bellpark fish the last rondavel

[@Anglinks]

@@mohammedaqeebyusuf7399 ok cool, I think we chose a shallow spot before at Bellpark, but thanks we'll let you know when we get the chance to go down there again...

[@maahirk1681]

Great video ! Quick question. Are there any spots to fish near gauteng where you don’t need a fishing permit? I’m trying to get into fishing and don’t have one.

[@Anglinks]

Thanks a lot! You didn't hear it from us but you don't really need one anywhere, we've never been asked ever. It's a bad thing, it should be enforced, but it isn't currently, and the authorities have more important things to worry about.

[@johannengelbrecht8709]

Catch in the Apies river

[@user-bj4qp9ps7p]

very nice video what was your bait that you guys used

[@Anglinks]

Thanks Gerhard. We mostly use bunspice (perdeby, cinnamon) and banana at Rietvlei. At night or during the colder months we switch to stronger flavours like garlic.

[@user-bj4qp9ps7p]

@@Anglinks so this wasn’t specimen angling all papgooi

[@Anglinks]

@@user-bj4qp9ps7p Yes it was 100% papgooi, floaties and mielies, no specimen rigs at all. And we didn't cast very far either, maybe 80m.

[@isakviljoen6732]

Great days can you share more information costing contact number perhaps

[@Anglinks]

Thanks Isak! You can try our site for more info, www.anglinks.co.za/2018/06/rietvlei-dam-our-local/

Now being defiled by a state with contempt and disdain for environmentalists amd the public.

[@rikib1171]

So this poor fish had to die. Why don't you just throw it back? Ag siestog.... Arme vis.

[@Anglinks]

We release all fish, as quick as possible, we don't kill anything.
