I see the water level came up a foot or so with the rain on Friday.
Anyone been fishing?

Water level guage.

I'm sure Dole is draining it as fast as they can.

actually they seemed to have closed the valve at 63ft before the rain started and it went up to 65ft. does this mean they are rethinking the level it should be kept at?? i hope i hope!!

Too bad the other 3 gates are rusted shut. They could open the one at the level they want the water and just leave it open.
With only the bottom gate operational... they have to have someone opening and closing it all the time to keep the level at where they want it.

If all the gates worked, the water level could be kept at full (80 feet) and if a big flood was forcast, they could open all the gates and get the water level down quickly to what they consider a "safe" level.

With the economy the way it is, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the gates to be repaired or replaced in the neat future......

We might have to do a fundraiser! Hulihuli chicken or Zippy's chili?

yeah i dont think there going to fix it anytime soon the tucs been biting in the main basin two days caught about 20 between me and a buddy bustin on shad and the past two days sporadic busts chasin them all around caught five yesterday 2-4lb range still fun fished for 2 hours in the evening havent seen anybody these past two days. seems like if its sunny all day and no rain the bite been good but a couple weeks ago when it was cold and rainy not a bite or a ripple big shad piles but no tucs!

The peacock bass were busting from MikiMiki Flats down to behind Kemoo Island. Talked with two guys who caught some 2 pounders. We chased them for a while with fly rods then went back to the small peacocks along the shore. Pretty tough fishing all day.

I did say we caught a bunch of "small" ones didn't I ?
