Vyron Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 wow u have 2 much free time guys By the way , this is "my tournament or outing" section of the forum , please use "International Bass Fishing" section next time. Thanks.
CyBasser Posted May 14, 2007 Author Posted May 14, 2007 Google Earth is magic. Don't you think? Anybody having a doubt about the area of the dam can check it out himself. I would recommend that the WDD officials check Google Earth and not give immaginary figures. Now, the photo below shows the wall and the dam. The wall could actually be the widest point of the dam. I would like to have your appology on this forum please, and not when we meet !!!! It has been a pleasure talking to you my friend. Now I think CASE IS CLOSED. Don't you agree? Hi there! Of course you will still NOT get my apology. First, today's approximate area is bigger than the rectangle you have shown via google earth (which I don't count as "'superaccurate"'). But in any case, although I appreciate your effort to "'prove"' me wrong, I will only stick to the official figure until it is changed. In any case, I don't see the whole point of trying to prove me wrong regarding the size of this particular reservoir. What if it is not actually 997 and it is 1097 or 897 acres? Does it change anything regarding the issue of privatization and how it does affect our fishing? Does it change anything if we lose this reservoir due to privatization? This is where we should all get focused. Nough' said.
CyBasser Posted May 14, 2007 Author Posted May 14, 2007 By the way, since you insisted, here's a photo of me and a 4lb beauty earlier this year. You took this picture, remember? Yep, and I still appreciate releasing that girl!
Cybassman Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 Of course you will still NOT get my apology Accepting you are wrong even indirectly is good enough for me.!!! In any case, I don't see the whole point of trying to prove me wrong regarding the size of this particular reservoir. What if it is not actually 997 and it is 1097 or 897 acres? Does it change anything regarding the issue of privatization and how it does affect our fishing? There is no point really. You just have to realise that you could be wrong and learn from it. Being stubborn is not a good thing!!! It has nothing to do with privatization but I thought we decided not to discuss this matter on this particular section of the forum. We can argue on this at work. And by the way, Google Earth is very very accurate. Check it with the runway width at LCA airport. Not the length but the width. It is accurate to the last 0.5 meter!!! What if it is not actually 997 and it is 1097 or 897 acres? The area of Kourris is not 997 acres but just one third of what you say ie 320 acres. See you....
Cybassman Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 Yep, and I still appreciate releasing that girl! I enjoyed releasing it !!!
island bassin Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 Yep, and I still appreciate releasing that girl! I enjoyed releasing it !!! Thanks for realising her.
Cybassman Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 Thanks for realising her. U R welcome. I release all bass less than 1.2lb anyway. No promises for the bigger ones though... But she was full of eggs. I couldn't keep her.
Super User T-rig Posted May 14, 2007 Super User Posted May 14, 2007 Thanks for realising her. U R welcome. I release all bass less than 1.2lb anyway. No promises for the bigger ones though... But she was full of eggs. I couldn't keep her. You should do it the other way around!

Hmmm, initially I had decided that I wouldn't bother anymore with this pointless discussion. But, first, the numbers as I told you were given to me by the WDD, back in 2004. I did not come to them on my own. Then, earlier today I had a chance to take the photo below. It is from the actual sign that is located on the dam wall of the reservoir. They (the W.D.D.) mention there the area as "3.6 sq.km". Certainly the value is different than what they gave me (4.04 sq.km). The 3.6sq.km multiplied by 247 (the conversion factor for sq.km to acres) gives 889.2 acres. Whichever is correct I don't know and to be honest, it doesn't really affect me. If the WDD have it wrong is their problem, not mine. Maybe you can forward them our discussion so they can correct it. But until they do, for any issues regarding the area of Kourris reservoir, I will be quoting "approximately 900 acres". This is my LAST POST regarding this issue. P.S. I want to apologize to all readers of this discussion for dragging this issue so far.
Cybassman Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 You still don't get it , do you? They (WDD) gave you wrong area, wrong wall length (750 instead of 550 meters) and you still insist. Just looking at the photo above showing what the 997 acres area looks like, should be enough to realise that the numbers you have are very very very wrong. Even the 3.6 km sq. mentioned means length of dam 3.6 km and width 1 km. Surely you can realise that this is completely wrong. I rest my case.
Super User T-rig Posted May 15, 2007 Super User Posted May 15, 2007 Wall length 550m = Crest lenght 550m
Vyron Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 Gentlemen , as I am informed u r both working at the same job, u can easily discuss all the above face 2 face at ur lunch break. This thread is totally irrelevant. As I kindly stated above this is an outing section and I ve been ignored by both u. Cybassman ,I know that u do ur homework and that ur very smart , but be open minded , and dont take for granded that ur always 100% correct. (I dont talk about the size of the dam , just ur nature of reacting 2 things) I dont enjoy this game and believe me most members of the forum dont do either : I AM CORRECT!!! , NO!!! I AM CORRECT!!! , I WANT UR APOLOGY NOW!!!! and so on. As an active member on this forum for long time , I would like 2 apologize 2 the moderators and the administrator of this great forum for all the above behaving.
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 I'll settle this. It's wide. ;D Let's move along guys
