So on the opening with shadycamp were going for 3 days but went for a drive out there last night and it's really low so with it being neap tides when it opens does any one know if you can move around from after the wreck to the mouth with no problem? Surely some one on here should know

I would have thought so mate. But not 100% sure. If you can get around the first bend that seems to be the shallowest? You get any photos of the water levels? Anyone been there recently with a camera on the low tide salt side?

Have you considered the Daly instead Shady will be tough if you haven't fished it when its not in flood. I guess we are all hoping for some rain.

Hobbit,
Yep no troubles if you have a bit of tide to get down to the wreck. From there on down there are no real hairy areas, there is plenty of water but just be aware of the usual stuff, sand banks on corners and stuff.

The first few hundred metres are pretty shallow on a low tide, and if exiting at the mouth take your time, it is shallow and you dont want to miss the channel and get stuck on a falling tide.

Hope that helps

Chris
