With all the shotgun blasts echoing around Chewy, the term "Squell like a pig boy" came to mind.
Too true Brian,
iv done mone prop in completly and smashed a transducer clean off.Its a funny place iv found. Either get a few fish or none. Scenery is great.Specially if any of the boys like chasing pigs

Lmao.hey on a serious note,if anyone is venturing up that way and feels the need to get out on the bank for any reason make sure its on hard rocky ground.brettjones got into some difficulty once i think jumping out onto what turned out to be a floating grass island. it seriously looks like land but you go straight thru. there used to be two of them on the left on a big straight. fyi.

i realisre the vin and nav are more at home in an aquatic environment but for the rest of us without webbed feet it would be a most unpleasant experience id imagine
You were going all right Brian. Had to flatten it to nudge past you. Apologies are in order as I didn't realise it was you initially, otherwise would have pulled alongside for a chat beforte we all reached the spot. You left at the right time. It p*ssed down after you left. Navi and I looked like a couple of Chinese prawn fishermen in our full wet weather gear...well Navi did anyway
I think I know where you're at in that pic now. Up from Little Zimbabwe there is a massive beaver log jam when the water's at the appropriate level.

Yeah it was Chris, biggest log jam Id seen up there, fully coated in grass, I was half expecting to pull a big jack out of there. The fishys were only 80 to 90's, but every second cast was a fish, swirl or bust up back in there. 5 made the net, and 2 classics went mia
Heres another nasty little snag I used to frequent up that way, was a real pain in the bum to get in there, but you had a lounge room sized bit of clear real estate to work in on the bank side of the timber, if you could turn their heads fast enough that is. Some hard lessons learned about knot, spilt and treble up-grades in there. Asbestos thumb kind of fishing, loved it
Sorry Pete, taking your thread sideways mate.........
That's the beauty of spending time on an impoundment ........ when low & then knowing where all that magnificent cover is ........ when levels rise.
It really does pay to take note of what is on the bank ...... specially when its just out of the water
Good stuff Brian

Yeah, I took the boys for the scenic tour the other day, and its impossible to convey the timber that you know sticks out of the water at -20%, when your flying over it at 40kmh at 36% capacity.
Foxie tells a story about casting bank to bank shore based from the bay next to the concrete ramp, on a hot bite, or being able to drive from the dirt ramp to the concrete ramp, following the water line rather than the bitumen road up top!
