Mick Z 0 Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Hi Guys,Being a yabbie catcher from way back this is be the best news we have had in yearsSo Im getting the nets ready the tinny organised ready to go they recon the water should be down the riverland in 6 to 8 weeks so the only thing will stuff it up if it goes through too quickly and the water isnt warm enough.Cheers,Mick Z Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daiwa 0 Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Who thinks they'll let a good rate of water out??? Not me... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Midcoast angler 0 Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 My family have had a shack in the coorong on ewe island ( in between the mouth and tewitcherie) for 20 years and all I know is any water that comes through is great! We haven't had the barrages open for well over five years, and this is the most promising sign for the coorong in that time! I am jumping up and down with excitment at the moment :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: But I'm not saying they will release the amount of water needed to completely flush it out either Quote Link to post Share on other sites
