We launched at around 13h00 at Inanda Dam and the wind was blowing quite hard. The water surface temperature was around 26.5 deg. C.

The water levels at the dam are rising fast now and we decided to target the flooded grass areas with flukes. We were not getting any takes and then picked up that the Bass were associating themselves to a particular type of grass and were only taking our flukes when we dead drifted them and so we changed to the Strike King Zeros and then we started getting fish.

There were lots of small fish around and we caught about 60 or 70 fish during the afternoon all on the weightless Zero's with our largest fish being 760gr (1.7lbs).

Bio: I have been fishing since I was 5 years old in Durban and have fished many places around the world and in South Africa, but Durban is my home waters. I fished competitive for many years and I have been running my own charters since 2008 with 2 companies and 2 boats, fish a variety of styles and target a variety of fish species in both Salt and Fresh water, have many published articles in several magazines on fishing. Love nature and outdoors, Am very conservation minded and have a passion for birds. I am crazy about big Tuna, Marlin Fishing and Game Fishing, and also love light tackle spinning, am a total lure junkie. Represented my province in fly fishing for many years and am also pro staff for Rapala/Shimano. I want to write a book on fishing one day. 3 items left on my fishing bucket list, guess then a new bucket list will be in order. As a writer I have my own quote: \"I love taking people fishing because it releases their inner child, and in doing so keeps my inner child alive.\"
