I believe he means the spit in front of 12 that runs from directly in front of you to the right into the bay.

Thought I would better reply before the game
I was there in October and peg 9 was going to be a new double, 7&8 were going, 3&4 going (I think) so 2 and 5 has more space, or at least that was my understanding. 10&11 going as well to accommodate the new double in 9.
Just wondered how far they got as due back out this May time. Think the idea is more double swims so you have someone on hand to help with the fish, assumes you catch of course. Tricky water for sure.
To #160 - peg 12 is not always the best peg in my experience although the most popular.

'Thought I would better reply before the game'
Yes you are right that was/is the plan but not sure if it has been actioned. As i said, swim 9 has been cleared in readiness and several of the cabins have been renovated including raising the dreaded low door frames. 3/4 will be the new home of Mick and Deb as it receives the most sun!!! Agree with you about 12. Being a bit of a preperation freak i always went through the prior years catch reports and listed numbers of fish by swim. 12 always came out on top however it is more of a numbers game in that swim and doesn't do lumps as often as some of the other swims. I've had the same fish twice in a week from there and believe the bay holds resident fish. Many of the snags have been removed over the years so it's not quite as prolific. From over 25 fish in several weeks in 12 the biggest fish i had from there was 58lb which is not to be sniffed at but not huge by Island standards. 12 just pretty much guarantees action at some stage during the week. Interesting how 7 has gone down hill over the last few years. It was up there with 12 but has fallen behind several other swims. Still does it's share but not the swim of old.

Cheers for that there is 3 of us on the whole lake that week so hoping the fish are close to me

if there are only 3 of you don't be afraid to move about. I've not fished it since the new owners took over but they certainly used to move about and find the areas with fewer lines
reckon i've done 8/9 trips since 2011-2019 and have fished all of the "old" pegs (except 12 weirdly lol). Peg 13 out fished the rest on all but 1 trip I think...
