Flipping Reeds in WINTER - EBASS Leg 4 | RUST DE WINTER

HELLO EVERYONE!
In this video, we fish the 4th Leg of the EBASS 2024 Season at Rust De Winter Dam.
Our day started off quite tough as we struggled to get our first bite.
We started off just outside of Croc Bay on a bank with a steep drop to deep water. We had confidence in this spot as we caught some fish here last winter. However, we did not succeed her this time...
At about 09:00, we saw ‪@AmazingFishingAdventures‬ in Croc Bay and chatted to them. Thomas told us they already had 5 fish, and a 1.6kg on the boat!!!
I'm not gonna lie, this made me stress, HAHA!
I was so worried that we would have another terrible comp. and not get 5 keepers!
We stuck to our guts and fished the methods we are good at.
I managed our first two keepers on the faithful mojo stretch 40, and my Dad filled the rest of our bag with his MaxScent Creature Hawg!
We had an awesome day on the water, even though we placed 23rd with a bag of 2.32Kg.
A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to ‪@AmazingFishingAdventures‬ for placing 2nd and winning big fish in their FIRST EVER EBASS COMP!
That's something to be proud of! Well Fished Gentlemen!!!
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Kwa Ndaba lodge. The owners are incredibly hospitable and, Tina cooks like a CHAMPION!

Hi David, what a beautiful dam. Yip 110 would chill most of us... big fun though. I know very little about bass fishing (papgooi mostly), and only recently started to explore it. Saw a number of clips on bassing at Witbank Dam, including yours. I'm fishing from the bank at this stage... any tips? We will be doing some research surveys on bass (and carp) at Witbank Dam from 20 to 25 June. Cheers

What’s up man, thanks for reaching out!😁 Bank Bass fishing can be quite tough in the winter… luckily the spawn of just around the corner and then you’ll have tons of fun on the bank!🥳 For bank fishing, I generally target areas that will have a higher concentration of fish… reeds, grass, rocks etc. A baitfish imitation like a fluke, works very well for me from the bank! One thing I’ve learnt, don’t be afraid to cast into open water… read the terrain along the bank, it will likely be the same in the water. For example, if you see rocks on the edge of the water, they most likely go into the dam. So even though it looks like you’re casting at nothing, the bottom is actually full of structure!😁 Tight lines my man!🎣🎣

[@pjffrikkie007]

Hey dude we going there tomorrow, where did you guys fish when you caught the first 5

[@andrewwigg3087]

Hi David hopefully I'll see you at the next Ebass bank angling comp. I just want to ask where is the next bank angling comp at

[@nunesbassing11]

What’s up man! You’ll definitely see me there!😌🎣 The next event is at Prime View!🎣 See ya there! 👋🏼

[@pjffrikkie007]

Or any fish, the last time we were there we got 4 for the day

[@pjffrikkie007]

Please can you point out some good spots

[@nunesbassing11]

What’s up man! We got our first 5 fish along the bank opposite croc bay… between the first curve on the river and where it opens up onto the main dam😁 Here we got our fish by flipping into the grass mats against the reeds🎣 In the afternoon we got a few fish in the salad bowl on the far right hand bank by fishing the edges of the grass lines😁 Goodluck man!!!🎣😁
