It was very windy today at Inanda Dam, and travelling in certain areas felt a little like offshore with some large wind swells.

Water temperature started at 16.3Deg.C and ended at 17.4Deg.C and the Dam level was good.

In the river section the water was turbid in colour, but elsewhere it was very clean and crystal clear in the lower sections of the dam.

My charter joined me just after 06h30 and we ended our day at around 15h30. Fishing was difficult in the windy conditions but we ended up with 7 fish in total with deep running drank baits delivering the goods for us today.

We also saw several nice size Iguana's lazing around the dam, some ducks, several geese and literally 1000's of swallows.

Fish Species: Large Mouth Bass
Bait Used: Cranks
Tackle Used: Bait Casters
Method Used: Casting
Water Depth: 3-10m
Water Temperature: 16.3-17.3Deg C

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.\"
