2016 Lowveld Bass Trail Round 8:
Injaka Dam, September 10th.
A
event for the last three events at Injaka!
Even more spectacularly, team Bucket
Mouth’s 10.415kg limit broke the LBT bag
record set just a month earlier by team
Angling & Outdoor World in August. They
broke the current record by 0.065kg.
stonishingly, we’ve reached the end
of the 2016 LBT regular season! It
doesn’t seem that long ago that we
were all lining up at registration at Kwena
Dam in February. Eight tournaments later,
we’re now set for the LBT Final, but more
about that a bit later…

Team Bucket Mouth started their winning day at a small inlet alongside a
small step-down. Joniel Marks fished a
SPRO squarebill with a slow retrieve
and got their first fish in this area. They
then moved off to one of the many
islands in the dam and lost a massive
fish. They tried the main inlet with no
success before moving off to fish the
trees and got another fish near another
drop, again on the SPRO squarebill.
Saturday, 10 September 2016 saw
thirty-four boats take part at the final round
of the regular season at Injaka Dam. 145
bass were brought to the scale at an average
of 0.867kg per fish. Only the De Hoop Dam
tournament in May produced a better
per-fish-average. Unfortunately two teams
were
disqualified
for
basic
rule
infringements. Of the remaining thirty-two
teams, not one team blanked, which is
extraordinary for Injaka Dam. In fact, an
average of eleven teams have blanked per
