What Skeeter? There are a few getting around at the moment. Most are black but if it was white it may have been Adrian Kampfs. At the other end of the spectrum, Motty's is the black/red 19'er with a 175 Merc Poptimax.

Yeah...talking of water levels... its a Good thing that Awoonga Dam is keeping it topped up... or it would probably be empty now or close to it.

Yeh mate that's the problem,while they've been doing the extension to the pipeline to bring the outlet closer to the dam I don't think thet've been pumpin.Hopefully we'll get a bit of summer wet to bring it up a bit,I havn't seen it full since '91.Cheers-Kingo.

Kingo - sounds like you know the place all well. With the low water level at the moment is there anywhere to put a boat in with only a Bommodore ute??? just thought there might be a bit much mud and soft ground around for a 2wd.

Haven't been to the dam before.

Mate not a problem to put that boat in...Just use the old ramp area... Just go past the houses..Road is a bit stony and rough...just take it easy...Saw plenty of cars on Sunday putting there boats in...

Thanks mate.
All info about lurking banks and snags helps extend the life of my prop and thus keeps the Minister for Finance off my back for a while longer.
