📍 Arabie Dam
📅 9th & 10th May 2026

We wrapped up our final event of the 2025/2026 season at the beautiful Arabie Dam.

It felt great to be back at Aloe Park and on the breathtaking waters of Arabie, where the stunning sunrises and unforgettable sunsets never disappoint. Thank you to Hailey and staff for having us...We always love our time at the beautiful Aloe Park🥰

The chilly winter mornings and misty air had everyone bundled up in beanies, buffs, and heavy winter jackets, but the cold certainly didn’t dampen the excitement for the weekend ahead🥶🎣

Fishing proved to be challenging, with the dam sitting very full, stained water conditions, and a strong flowing river making things tough for the anglers. Despite the difficult conditions, the laughs around the crackling fire, great company, and shared passion for fishing once again made for an unforgettable weekend.🔥🕷🐊🦅

A total of 69 bass were landed over the weekend, with an average weight of 0.58 grams. It was unfortunately concerning to see the number of underweight and skinny bass, as well as the amount of nets throughout the dam.😮‍💨
We all did our bit to remove what nets we could

👏 Congratulations to Nick Vauqulin on taking Big Fish honours with a solid 1.52kg bass!

🏆 Top 3 Results:

🥇 1st – Nick Vauqulin – 6.88kg
🥈 2nd – Darren Hockly – 5.55kg
🥉 3rd – Ray Jacobs – 5.39kg

Please remember that our end-of-year prize-giving function will take place on Saturday 20 June 2026. Keep an eye on our page for updates and the announcement of our prize winners.

This season brought some truly difficult fishing conditions, but challenges like these only make us better anglers.💪

A BIG THANK YOU to all our members, sponsors, committee members, and extended families for your continued support throughout the season.

We’re already looking forward to the next one! 🎣🔥

Clearwater Bassmasters – Koster Dam
21–22 February 2026

Our 2nd event of the 2026 season was held at the beautiful Koster Dam… The weatherman predicted rain, but alas, he was wrong! We were treated to a weekend of stunning weather, some great fishing, and as always, plenty of laughter and fantastic camaraderie amongst club members.

Koster is always a top venue. Although it’s a small dam, it certainly holds some chunky bass in its depths! The dam was very busy with boat traffic on both days, but that didn’t stop everyone from enjoying their time on the water.

🎣 Total fish caught: 96 over the two days
⚖️ Average weight: 0.82 kg

A big congratulations to Nick Vauqulin for landing the biggest bass of the weekend – a healthy 2.12 kg! Well done, Nick!

🎣 Clearwater Bassmasters – 1st Event of 2026 🎣

📍 Rust De Winter Dam
📅 17–18 January 2026

Clearwater Bassmasters kicked off our 2026 season with our first event at Rust de Winter Dam, and what a weekend it was!

Armed with our best camping gear...Showers, toilets and all — We set up base at Hippo Camp HQ in the nature reserve. Surrounded by nature at its finest, with hippos, crocodiles and incredible wildlife, an unforgettable weekend was had by all.

The fishing, however, was tough. Dirty water and extreme heat made for challenging conditions on the water.

Over the two days, a total of 125 fish were caught with a combined weight of 82.45 kg, giving an average bass weight of 0.66 kg.

🏆 Biggest Fish of the Weekend
• Darren Hockly – 1.25 kg

👏 A special shout-out to our champion junior, Michael, who landed a new personal best on Sunday — 1.19 kg! Well done, Michael, we’re proud of you!

As always, the weekend delivered great laughs, chats around the fire, and amazing camaraderie. Well done to everyone who took part, and congratulations to our Top 3 anglers for the weekend:

🥇 1st Place: Darren Hockly
🥈 2nd Place: Dean Hinkins
🥉 3rd Place: Ray Jacob

We look forward to seeing everyone at our next event at Koster Dam on 21–22 February. Let’s do it again! 🎣🔥
