FAQ

Expertly Answered Questions

I want to take my children fishing somewhere safe and where they will actually catch fish. What do I need and where can I go?

Here at Total Fishing we pride ourselves in putting you first and don't sell tackle just to make sales - feel free to send us a WhatsApp message where we can chat about your planned adventure.
Having the right tackle and bait suiting your budget for the venue, species, time of year and best methods to use to catch the fish are our priority. We want you and your kids to be successful and enjoy your precious time together. We have a list of wonderful safe fishing venues
on our Article/Video tab where you can go fishing.

What is the best bait to use for catching at the Vaal Dam?

Vaal dam is home to a number of different species including carp,
catfish, mudfish, yellowfish and grasscarp. These species all love soft ground bait (mieliebom) introduced accurately on a spot between 50m and 70m from the bank. Use a trace with a spring to ensure the soft feed ball stays on during the cast. Hookbaits that work well are plain yellow and white soft floaties with small sweet white dough backing. Natural baits like dead maggots and Kariba earth worms also work well as hookbaits especially when mudfish and catfish are on the bite.

Dips you can try include Perdeby, Sniper, Scorpion, Gumtree, Paint Tartrazine, Lootie and Stuttaford.

What terminal tackle do I need to successfully target and catch big Babers? (Catfish)

We’ll advise you to spool up your reels with very strong line like
Sensation Pro Series14lb 0.30mm Yellow and three to four rod lengths of Awa-Shima Classic Competition 0.40mm leader line. Our Korean made power swivels and #4 Baitholder bronze hooks are perfectly suited when baits such as worms, flying ants, crickets, fish fillets and small fish heads are used. For bigger baits and whole or live fish we recommend using a #4/0 circle hook with the barb flattened.
