About Zeekoevlei

Lake fishing here generally rewards patient anglers who watch for cruising fish along weed-lines, drop-offs, and shaded banks.

Fishing Techniques
- For Japanese meagre
Target Japanese meagre during low light conditions or at night, and work lures slowly and methodically near structure.
- For Bluefish
Bluefish are aggressive; use wire leaders to prevent bite-offs and retrieve lures at a fast pace to trigger strikes.
- For Leerfish
Target areas with strong currents or tidal flow where Leerfish hunt for baitfish, and vary retrieve speeds to find what triggers strikes.
