    Need the lake level to rise, the maimais were a long way from water on Sunday.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    That's what I'm hoping for, but with that massive surface area it will take a fair volume to increase the depth.

    I'm in the same boat, waters edge was about 100m from the maimai on Saturday, only has to come up a little bit though. I figure the birds will still do a fly by if I put the dekes on the mud, probably won't land though. Fingers crossed.
