Carp action at Inanda Dam
We have been told of good carp fishing at Inanda Dam over the past week.
Bass fishermen that had an outing to Inanda Dam over the weekend found conditions not great and the wind unpleasant, but staying close to the edges and using a variety of small Strike Pro and Rapala Cranks, this produced numerous fish, but all on the small side. The Strike Pro Cranky X produced the most bites by far, a real deadly little crank that is a must in every tackle box. There are eight different colours in the range and all stunning. The lure casts very well, swims beautifully with a distinctive rattle and at the price of crank baits available today is very affordable.
Carp fishing in Shongweni Dam has been dead. The water level has dropped and the water looks like green paint. Fishing at Shongweni will most likely be a waste of time until we receive lots of rain, for days on end. Even after this happens fishing can still be expected to be slow due to the fish needing time to recover and there being lots of natural food in the water that will wash into the dam from the surrounding mountains and hills. Fishing in Inanda Dam is a very different story and has been a lot more productive due to more anglers fishing there and there being more food in the water. The D-ring and the KD-rig are nice rigs to use on the slit at the dam because they are well suited for pop-up bait and critically balanced baits. Inanda has been known to produce big carp overnight. Spending long periods of time next to the dam will definitely result in more and bigger fish. Particles and boilies both seem to be doing the job as both have produced some nice size carp throughout the past four weeks.
