hinze dam ramps......

[yellahunter]

hey guys,

anyone know which ramps are open at the dam now?

Both the temporary ramps are open.
The ramp at the western arm has been improved by enlarging the turning and parking area and I have been told that the armco has been removed to enable jackknifing your trailer so you can launch into deep water.
The temp eastern arm ramp is ok providing you are carefull the last time I was there there was a lot of loose gravel and when reversing if you touched your brakes the front wheels would lock up and you loose your steering and you go for a uncontrollable slide.. You can avoid this by using your handbrake and everything is ok.
There was a bit of a drop off at the end of the ramp but SEQ water said that they would put some gravell there.
Eastern arm was fishing very well with live shrimp last week.
Cheers
Ray
