Bosparadys, new friends and a lot of fish!
February 27, 2012 | 
Author When I left for Bosparadys early Saturday morning I was blissfully unaware of the wonderful weekend awaiting us, hardly containing the excitement I packed my fishing gear and started the 89 km journey, 30 minutes later than anticipated. This was the first of many W&D socials and I was eager to meet some of our loyal readers joining us for the two day fishing trip at this beautiful venue 24 km outside Magaliesburg.
At Bosparadys the camping site was a buzz with activity, tents were going up left and right, baits were being prepared and the smell of coffee was filling the air. It didn’t take long for Louis Storm to land the first fish of the day, a beautiful common carp of approximately 1kg. Dirk and Joggie Taljaardt soon followed with barbel of 10.52 kg and 8.51 kg respectively while Willie Storm, Christo Coetzee, Timo Brown and Annelize Snyman all joined in the action soon thereafter. Between myself and Willem we struggled to photograph, weigh and write down the baits being used by all the anglers.
Thank you to everyone that joined us on the first W&D social, the weekend was truely spectacular. We hope that you enjoyed it as much as we did!
Here is a list of some of the dips used during the weekend for those that are intrested:
- Honey
- Hasbeen
- Caramel
- Banjo
- Devlisfork
- Rooiplakker
- Tjop-Tjop
- FX

Roodekopjes dam
We recieved the following email from Louis Storm,
I wish to warn people of Roodekopjes dam outside Brits. I was there on the 21/01/2012 and we were five grown men with two small boys and we were robbed the Sunday morning. Cell phones, backpacks with clothes, Garmin and wallets were stolen. We found foot prints and followed them, only to find out that one of the guards at the gate was part of four robbing people on the camp site. We were not the only people robbed at the same campsite over the weekend. My new rooftop tent was cut with minora blades for them to enter. Why do we pay to stay there if it’s not safe?
Avoid going there, even in a group!
