One of our readers, Ali Adnaan sent us a report on his fishing trip in Raaswater. Thank you very much for taking the time to write this! Following below is his report:
Hi Guys,
Firstly, sorry for the late report, but after such a fantastic weekend of Fishing then getting back to work and with having such an over load of work to finish, I just did not get the time….
So I was supposed to leave early on Saturday 20/03/10. We had everything packed and ready to go. Unfortunately things did not go according to plan and due to some delays, instead of leaving at 7:00 we only left at 12:00…
Raaswater Dam
None the less, finally, after a 2 hour drive we finally reached our destination. Within a few minutes, after helping the wife unpacking, I shoot of to the Jetti, which I booked only for the Saturday. Within 5 mins had my first catch.
Raaswater Barbel
Throughout Saturday we caught +/- 15 fish but all relatively small. Mostly yellows. Two babel for Saturday. After a lovely braai we called it a night at around 12:30 pm… Even my little nephew and niece caught. They arrived at about 4:00 pm
Another Raaswater Barbel
Finally after a good night’s sleep we got up at about 5:00 and by around 11:00 we had already caught over 40 fish, the majority being yellow ones, weighing about 3.5kg.
A nice carp
The rest were all about a kilo and under. Due to it being such a successful weekend, we hardly got the time to take pics of all the fish caught.
Another carp
Just as I thought the weekend could not get any better, we landed a +/- 7kg babel. Unfortunately the picture does not do any justice, but it put up a good fight!
This barbel put up a great fight
Unfortunately Monday was a quiet day and we only had a few bites but we did not manage to land anything….
All in all it was an excellent trip!
