I shouldn't as it's gonna be in an article in a bank angler The trick is a 0.22 - 0.25mm clear hookline of 20cm with a #8 cutting blade or similar light hook. Take a large floatie and roll it in Banjo so that it is wet all around, now roll it in pure fluoro (green and let the coating dry and harden Banjo and FX on the bol and shake it in a 50/50 Custard and fluoro powder mix. Feed spot should be built between 30-40m from the bank. Mix dry, dry feed on a 50/50 basis to your prepared dry feed just before you cast it. The husks and popcorn must float in and ontop of the water on your kol, this will get the Chinamen feeding in your swim You'll see them when they come in and they drive all other fish off It's slow fishing and you have to wait for your bites, that's why I dont target them in competition. A few years back I hooked 8, 3 x lines broken by tail slapping, 3 hooks straightened with the fish rolling in the leader, 1 x pulled off and 1 x 6.4kg landed. This weekend the guy next to me took 4 fish 8kg and I got 10 fish 6kg so on points I took him by 20 points

Don't know exactly where this one was taken but my gues would be in the Moos river tributary in the dam (or Elands) showing the trees now submerged and believe me, as many as you can see, twice as many are submerged in front of them. Attachment: DSC00182.JPG (Downloaded 287 times)

I saw anglers caught Silwer carp on bait at Arabi. I previously though it is not possible. Great report.

Welcome pegmate, now get a good Avatar pic. i think the one I took of you with your barbel at Bloemhof might just do well, or maybe your Garrick from Pt Edward Great site with a lot to learn here.

Hi Hannes, We fish it on the hook and not a hair. Another thing to try is the way the Europeans fish for them. They use a small float, then a #10 hook with polistyrene bead on it. They then feed loos feed and popcorn on or around the float consistently and the Silvers (called Tostolabic)and then the fish filter this in along with the dry feed and flakes and it's game on.

Boat is the answer. fish are in the open water and not amongst the trees. find a school of silvers when cruising around, Feed a lot of popcorn on top of the water where the silvers are also a lot of "Semels" Then fish a #4 hook with floatie and you'll get your silver. Fish top water and surface and keep your bait in amongst the floating chum. Clean hard fighters and a lot of fun

We catch them during a floating bait that floats off the bottom ie suspended in the water and anchored by a weight below. They are filter feeders with gills that interlock forming elementary baleen plates. They are a pest wreaking havoc in the ecosystem. Same fish that have taken over the whole Mississipi basin and threatening the Great Lakes. Grows to around 20kg. I just happen to hold the SA ANGLING record on them at 12.9kg

You would have the record haha.ja I know the fish, the videos of the boaters getting taken out by jumping carp are crazy! How far have they spread here and what's been done about it? Aside from them being a nightmare from an ecological point of view, they look like epic fish to catch,big forked tail and torpedo body. Thank god they are filter feeders, if they took a topwater and had teeth they'd be a terror!

Good eating to. Found from below the Loskop dam wall all the way down the Olifants (through the Kruger and Mozambique) where the Rio do Olifantes mouths into the Indian Ocean They just let the Gill Netters catch them ad infinitum but nothing else to do with them once they infest the water, Yanks have been trying for the last 20 years to get rid of theirs
