Thread: Bait Fish

A list of some of the fish that our Green friends snack on.

Short/longfin Eel
Bluegill Sunfish
Moggel
Tench
large mouth, small mouth and spotted bass
Canary Kurper
Banded Talapia
Redbreast Talapia
Moz Talapia (Blue kurper)
Black kurper

The most under rated I think, especially for Witbank is the Moggel, there are huge populations of this fish and they are soft and easy to eat making them a prize snack for small and very large bass.

Link for the Moggel.

There is actually why more to add to the list ..

Glassies (river sardine)
Dwarf Tiger
Ghielies
Vlei Kurper
Dwarf Kurper

to name just a few ..

The main reason I put a black spot at the back of my'see thru' cranks is to resemble the moggel as it is the main feed fish for bass in certain dams, especially Witbank.

I think they are the main bait fish for the vaal as well ;-) although after doing a bit of research apprently the fish at the vaal are full of parasites.
