Largemouth Bass fishing in South Africa
Submitted by bushbeaver on Mon, 2014-12-01 19:13
The pics were taken of myself and fishing mate Shane on a recent trip to Lake Phobane in South Africa during October.
As you can see, quite a variety of lures were used to catch these brawlers. Although none of the fish depicted are really large, they do put up quite a fight on light tackle- the rods I was using are 3-5kg Bream/estuary rods, 2500 size reels, 15lb braid and 12lb fluorocarbon leader.
