Bass fishing in South Africa

There’s nothing quite like catching a beautiful bass. Whether it be the largemouth bass(Micropterus salmoides) smashing a top water lure with the fury of a tiger, or the small-mouthbass (Micropterus dolomieu) taken on something as simple as an in-line spinner, the thrill remains incredible.
Both these species are found in South African waters, and although they are not indigenous,they thrive in rivers and dams across our country, make for fine fishing, and if prepared correctly, makes a delicious meal.
