About Bon Accord Dam
Anglers know Bon Accord Dam as one of the lesser-trafficked lakes of Gauteng, South Africa. The standard playbook on a lake 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 Bon Accord 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 Grass carp
Pre-baiting an area with corn or other plant matter for several days can concentrate grass carp and increase your chances of a catch.
- For Common carp
Pre-bait the area with a similar bait you plan to fish with to attract carp and increase your chances.
