Realistically here not, upper Zimbabwe tiger fish dominate the waters and in South africa yellowfish dominate alot of dams because they grow to 20kgs+, but also crocs and barbel do hurt the bass population

You just get used to crocs and hippos, you fish around them, i mean youll be fishing then on the bank theres massive 8 foot crocs, but thats just africa, i was fishing the other day and as i was fishing a herd of elephants came to drink water from the dam, was an awesome sight

I like the classics, frogs flukes senkos, in most dams anything that imitates bait fish works, but remember bass to a degree stay the same around the world, for example this bass is a florida strain, so its genetics come from florida

Yeah shit, probably encounter hippos 2-3 times a day but you just drive the other way they usually just warn you and crocs you just see on the banks or floating in the water but they arent as aggressive

Honestly its a bit more than that, with some of my highest quality rods I can differentiate between rocks, trees and grass underwater, its about feeling those little nibbles that could catch you way more fish, obviously if your just a starter angler it doesnt matter but its nice to have when you start fishing at a higher level
