Does anyone have pictures of what is below that track to get to the waters edge at Shines?Cheers
Sel, Even Fitzy struggled with his light weight Old Town Pack Angler which hits the scales at a lofty 14Kgs. If it rains this area gets even harder to negotiate .Cheers,Dave.
Thanks for that, I got a giggle at 1.34...So is Burtons pretty easy? I might have to go have a look... I remember going there a few years ago, it was a nice easy launch. I thought there were concrete bollards protecting the run in to the bridge each side..has that changed?I'll be honest all along the lead up to this comp I have been keen to stay at the dam but the weather forecast is not looking flash..I might have to go to the river...Cheers
Actually , it is more from a story Catfich Al told me on Thursday morning that has changed my thinking . He recalled how he was paddling doing 'recon' just upstream from Lowood on Monday ( down behind the industrial estate ) . He had an encounter with some old geezer in a tinny who had a 'cricket score' ( 30+ ) of dead Bass in the bottom of his boat .
Just looking at this comment for a minute:Are we being told that it is OK to break the rules regarding the closed season, but it's not OK to break the rules regarding bag limits? I, for one, would happily put my hand up to suspend both rules until the river comes back to an equilibrium. We're really only a couple of months away from us all throwing up our arms indignantly because of a massive fish kill in the river. Honestly, the sooner the quantities of Bass that are in there are thinned out, the better. We have a massively overstocked waterway at the moment and it can only end in tears. (Although I'm sure if the Wivenhoe convention winner wins the comp from the River he'll say it's his skill, and not the fact that it's "fish in a barrel" fishing.) I saw the DEEDI electrofishing boat on Ipswich Road yesterday, hopefully they've been out there and got some numbers and can figure out how to get rid of the massive overpopulation. I doubt that the river holds enough food to sustain the Bass for much longer, especially the Lockyer junction area where the fish are virtual prisoners until another flood event.
Here's the video of draging down the Shines Road track to the river.
