I'm off now to build my mai mai . Got a trailer load of free bent timber , which will be challenging to say the least . Armed with 2 chain saws ( just if one is playing up ) and two nail guns ( two sizes of galv nails ) oh and some beer .
Finished yet?:DQuote:

Mate that's mean but...... The ducks in these parts do like some water :)
Good luck hunting bird in that desert:omg:
Well done Munsey. don't listen to these other buggers as they are just taking the piss. It is obvious to me that you drained the lake to make it easy to get out there and so the concrete footings would go off properly.
Correct rushy but I've forgotten where I put the plug , on a side note duck numbers down but road runners and coyotes are in good numbers !
That's the bugger mate, you should get a good shoot then.:D

Looking back down the water towards the maimai
you got it sweet bone crusher:yum:
Ma and 30CALTERRY (THE MIDGET) Spent a couple of days on the addition to the mai mai on the home pond in the weekend. Along with couple boxes cold liquid. We finished the sky tower.. Built painted , tee treed and slowly it will become invisible.
Its a fairly young pong sorta three four years old totally man made by the two of us with the odd bit of help here and there all the plantings have been done by us as well.
Ponds full of water after 20 mm rain on saturday evening so we re all good for hopefully some ducks but have to confess from watching 3 to 400 per night we ve seen not a thing in the last two to three weeks. Social event may be the call he he ..
Take some pics tonight and post them up here so you can take a look. Heres a couple of the pond I ll snap couple of the mai mai tonight. though . ... Small pond but I reckon reasonably well presented ....

this might explain a lot munsey:yuushQuote:
Tēnā Koutou Katoa,
The average level of the lake as recorded on Thursday 28 March was 0.55m
The lake is CLOSED to the sea.
Q: When was the lake last opened?
A: 15 December 2012, opening level 1.08m. Closed 21 February 2013, level 0.51m. The lake was open for a total of 68 days.
Q: When will the lake next be opened?
A: Between 1 April to 31 July the minimum level the lake may be opened is 1.13m. The amended Water Conservation Order for the lake does allow an opening at any level between 1 April to 15 June but our current resource consent does not permit this. A new resource consent, that will be jointly held with Te Runanga o Ngāi Tahu, is currently being prepared and will include the ability for this ‘any level’ opening. A Protocol Group made up of different organisations try to reach consensus on when to open, or not open, the lake. If consensus is not reached then the final decision is made jointly by Ngāi Tahu and ECan.
The next level update will be sent out on Monday 8 April. Please do not hesitate to contact Dan or myself if you have any questions.
Kind Regards,
Leigh

Right, got out of hospital last night so on a mission today which was a little hard with mum busy and dad at work. first was to go fishing but the bars blocked and the river is high as but has a try that was shit house walked home had a huge rest then went to my duck pond cried for a good 20min. nah I didnt but fucking crap as but did see these 2 pukekos and a wounded plover my uncle shot running around. also 2 parries got my decoys off the pond I left there last year and checked the maize which is good so later my plan is to get some crap to cover the mai-mai a little bit and then pick a bit of maize throw it on the mud and sit there tonight see if any come in. I know there are 2 around here some where.

Ours bein a new pond and having no ducks breeding on it we found last couple of years if we call them in they ll come over for a look but stay just out of visibility and not come in to land.
Ducks flying over in range but not shootable all the time. Hmmmmmmmmmm
So we built skytower off end of mai mai.. We can go up there and sit and shot 360 degrees... Be interesting to see how that goes.
Tower on left end of mai mai. We ll sit under camo nets and see if we can give them a curry up. Got views for literally miles now he he he .. 3 or more meters off the ground

That must be one big lake Gadget so has it a bit more water in than when Munsey took the pics of his mai mai?
No improvement Dundee. We drove the same route we walked last season. The water last season was keeping the fellas cool in the thigh waders, at the moment the track is basically dry. The sooner that bar gets set up, and the loos drained to the lake, the better.
Thinking of building a couple of these. Plywood Boat, how to build a one sheet plywood boat GardenFork.TV - YouTube Could use them to drag/float the gear out then use them as layout blinds. Could do a camo paint job, or paint them grey and use black polythene as a cover so they look like water troughs.
latest from Ecan(firday 05/04/2013) is mean water depth is 0.55mtres over an area of 180sq kms.yes gents shes a big duckpond. did a spot of maimaiing down the rakaia yesterday and bugger me a fat juvenile canada dropped in to commence a bit of avian horizontal tango with me floater decoys.he stayed dropped coutersy of my mates and hes just dropped down me throat with luvly spud topping and rich sauce.yeeesssss i love this organic meat.river was a little high -obviously runoff from the alps ,but good news plenty of birds buggerising about.
no mrs piggy wasnt home but we sure as hell saw where the porky gardeners had been bloody hard at work.their day will come.:thumbsup:
