About Wriggleswade Dam
Anglers know Wriggleswade Dam as one of the lesser-trafficked reservoirs of Eastern Cape, South Africa. The standard playbook on a reservoir this size is to start shallow at first light, work outward toward deeper water as the sun climbs, and circle back to the shallows before dusk. Surface activity at Wriggleswade Dam is a useful tell — boils, swirls, and rising baitfish point straight at the predator zone.

Fishing Techniques
- For Largemouth bass
Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.
- For Spotted bass
When fishing for spotted bass in reservoirs, focus on points, humps, and channel bends where they often congregate to ambush prey.
- For Common carp
Pre-bait the area with a similar bait you plan to fish with to attract carp and increase your chances.
