Thread: Mai mai prep and feeding

We have a new balloted place for this year, and I'm sure Fish and Game look for the place that needs the most work, and give it to us. We have spent 2 days up to our chins in swamp water pulling out raupo, and cutting reeds. Next step is to bowl the maimai and move it to the waters edge (why they built it back 15 metres is beyond me!). They have a locked gate which stops vehicle access until late Feb, and closed again in March, so it's out with the duck punt and row to the maimai. No sense in feeding our spot. It is a coastal lagoon, and purely a loafing spot. There are maimais every 100m, so you learn to deal with the frustrations of shots going off just as ducks are looking set to come in. Skybusters are a constant problem, but we love the challenge. We always do OK, and stay every day for the first week. Thats when we have heaps more fun, and calling and camo really come into it's own. I go to sleep at night lately building the maimai in my head. I'm now on plan C !!
Bring on opening day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
