    It's been a couple of years since I've been out there and remembering the ramp at the spit and all that was pretty good but in saying that I had a smaller boat at that stage and wasn't really looking for things that could inhibit a larger boat.
    I'm just looking at taking a couple of people up there for their first time and maybe just pull a tube around or something.
    Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
    yea mate acouple of people,, its female and you are trying to hide her away from us,, pulling a tube around haven't heard it called that before lol

    No permit required to set pots. The dam is patrolled on a regular basis, so you would need your rods, nets etc stowed away really well.
    PS or leave it at home.

    Re: Somerset for larger boats.

    Just out of curiosity........

    Who would be interested in a sort or a Get Together out at Somerset say maybe a week or so this side of X-Mas.
    Kind of more along the lines of a bit of a family day, bring the kids and missus kind of BBQ, redclawing expedition, dam exploring trip/day thingie?
    Just a thought......

    We would be keen for a weekender up there I usually have to put the patrol in the water up to the tow bar to float the boat off at the spit, Kirkliegh is a bitch of a ramp it is wort the extra tow time to go to the spit.

    Re: Somerset for larger boats.

    Well if you want to make it say week of 14th November that will work well I can loan you a 5.5mt bow rider get the girlies up front with their bikinis on have skis and tube you can take and cause I'm a fancy mofo has a 10 inch sub and kick ass tunes. Shit I'm that good of a bloke I will even throw in a 12v pump so you don't have to blow anything up (leave that up to this Arab). And a socket to plug it into. If your real nice I will even fit the ski prop on and supply ski jackets. (All this crap and I can't ski for shit)
    I will have to throw in a tow vehicle as yours will be somewhat else where (just sayin) And I'm not that far from somerset.
    And perry could finally see what a sonic hub does if youse have a m&g.
    Wins all round.
    I prefer not to think before speaking. I like being just as surprised as everyone else by what comes out of my mouth.
