Highveld dams & escarpment

Mpumalanga

Big public dams and farm stays along the escarpment — reliable bass, carp and barbel with a solid launch and a view most weekends.

Bushveld dams & rivers

Limpopo

Our most-visited province by far — Waterberg and bushveld dams stacked with bass, barbel and kurper, usually paired with a farm stay.

Midlands dams & rivers

KwaZulu-Natal

Big Midlands dams like Albert Falls, Midmar and Mearns — genuinely huge bass on offer, and always worth the long drive down.

About us

Two anglers, one logbook

We're a fanatic fishing couple who spend our weekends and holidays on the road, chasing dams, rivers and farm stays across South Africa. Every trip gets written up here — the good fishing, the flooded-out fishing, the accommodation that made the drive worth it, and the exact GPS pin so you can go find it yourself.

No sponsored fluff, no filler — just what we caught, where, and whether we'd go back.
