Thread: Show me your maimais

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 ....

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

this might explain a lot munsey:yuush
that looks suspiciously like embankment end of town watch out for swan holes

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

I can confirm that this is not quite viable at the moment. Both vehicles stuck.

Still, set up a new maimai and tagged another abandoned one nearby as a backup. Think the old battle wagon is about twice as heavy now as it was when I went out this morning.
