" Bloemhof Catfish"

This is the ideal time of the year to target large catfish at Bloemhof dam in the Northwest Provice of South Africa Basically from now until early May are the peak times the barbel are aggressive and will readily take lures if presented correctly.

The way to target Catfish in Bloemhof is to tackle them using a calling rod and using the right techniques can bring many PB's to the net. These are powerful fish that can at times be highly aggresive and I use a technique called "Calling" for them
This teqnique requires a specialised rod and heavy line to fufill the task of hooking and landing big cats.

A minimum of 4 days is required (Weather can be an issue sometimes at Bloemhof as it can be very windy at times).
