No Mr 6 trout catching guide:rotfl: You are going to have to actually fish this month and find the trout out of their 'normal' patterns:eek:

3-5 months is a long time away


How many times did you complain to your customers about the wiers? :grinpimp::rotfl:


customers:
'Mr., what about this '25 or bust'

W to his customers:
'bruh, if these wiers was open we would be catching limits in an hour'

customers:
'we don't care bout that, we just want to catch fish'

W:
'look bros, we only fish artificial on this boat cuz I can't throw a castnet and i refuse to buy live shrimp and I refuse to go to Sabine. All my logbooks say the fish should be here this time of year so we are going to fish here'

customers:
'can't we go catch redfish or something?'

W:
'naw brah, redfish are an inferior species of fish, only people who can't catch trout try to catch redfish'

customers:
'well sir, you are apparently one of those 'people who can't catch trout'

:rotfl:

LOL!!!!!:*****:

LMAO!!!!!!

Lmao

No need to complain we load the boat

Yes you do. Your tournament results prove that. Hey that last tourney weren't the Weirs open?

Johnson Bayou, Louisiana. 2011 winter. We had a saltwater marsh...Duh. It happened,
Attachment 55807

Thanks a lot, butthole......I just spit tea all over my keyboard!!!! :spineyes::spineyes: I respect good humor, but, under the circumstances.....this is super hilarious and it's almost like you were on that boat.

It happens so rarely that one would have to take a picture to show others for amazement!:shaking:

Everyone clap for the guy that recollects one freeze in the last 15 years! Winter of 2011....was probaly January of 2012.

And if the pond only holds 3 inches of water it might as well be a field.

^^ LMAO @ this guy

Do you know the adv depth of our marshes??

Dude ain't hunted since 1998.

But "it just doesn't happen in a marsh"

That marsh is a little deeper than 3 inches of water. Save the grass bro. Save the grass

It's a Weir and Duck hunting thread merged together as one. This could be Biblical!!!

He thinks the marsh is main canal going through weir

No one is saying it doesn't freeze, the whole point is that this is SEPTEMBER and W is talking about shrimp dying behind the wiers because of a freeze, he can't find any other stance for his agenda so he tries scare tactics:rotfl: Oh no all the shrimp are going to die if the wiers aren't open, they will all freeze - again its September aint happening this month, or next month, or if its anything like the last 10, 15, or however many years, it ain't gonna happen in November either. One little 32 degree night aint gonna do it either. Gonna take quite a few well below 32 for a die off:grinpimp:

musta been 6 really big trout to load the boat eh?:rotfl:


better start unloading that freezer and giving some frozen fish for the customers

I will use context clues to assume adv is your abbreviation for Average, which has no "d" in it.

With that being said...

By "our" marshes do you mean the mass of area between Creole and Sabine Lake(1/10th of La's coastal marsh)?
Matter of fact W, I don't! I was born and raised hunting and fishing from the Biloxi Marsh to Southwest Pass, only been hunting out here for the last 8 years.

Enlighten us with the abundance of Big Lake coastal/wetlands knowledge that us poor lay men aren't worthy of.You are the almighty of all wetland ecology! Say the words and we shall all be healed of our ignorance!

THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^

So now your a weather expert on top of grass expert

Amazing your logic


How about you bring your azz down to every guide service, crabber and shrimper and tell them that its not a big deal to choke off east side of estuary

Mr duck grass expert

I will introduce you to everyone today, what time do you want to meet here and I will have every crabber, fisherman and shrimper i can round up by then so you can explain how weather is not a factor to save the grass

Duck butter you talk a big game on the web but you know how many guides are having to turn people away because the fishing is horrible??

Are that 7days after weirs were closed crabbers catch dropped 80% and that shrimping has fell off by 50%

And from an Biologists who does listen to the ones who make a living off the lake ; said that west side marshes do not support the lake it self..

Do you have any scientific data to support your statement? W have you at least graduated to finger paints?

wigeongrass is NOT a grass first off I thought we have established that, and I am very confident in my abilities to identify most plants and animals (even 'duck grasses':grinpimp:) in Louisiana, and I am far from a weather expert but I do possess something called common sense and I can deductively reason that from looking at the last 20 years of weather patterns that there is a very very good chance that we are not going to be busting ice to go duck hunting in November. I feel pretty confident about that;)


I am just playing your game like you do to everyone on here and it appears you are mad bro:rotfl: and you can't take what you dish out

......

Friend went with the famous guide service on the WEST side. They scratched the previous 2 days to his arrival and caught 14 dinks the day he went.........I would say it is horrible.

Im sure you missed this in duck grass school but I bet you can understand what happens when you alter the echo system by killing off millions on millions of shrimp

Do you have a link or a photo or any press release of 'millions on millions of shrimp' being killed off? Would really like to see that:smokin:

I bet there are millions and millions of healthy shrimp NOT dying and bet they will not be dying in the next 3 months due to a freeze either

echo system:confused::spineyes:

Guess that your educated answer is no. Please tell me you were the only child.

Nick was saying the marsh doesn't freeze. I just simply wanted to prove him wrong. Why would he get involved in a thread on our (those who do fish Calcasieu lake) weirs when he is completely wrong on the marsh "freezing". He ( Nick ) didn't point out like others the September issue. He stated as a whole the marsh won't freeze.

Carry on Butter :cheers:

10-4, gotcha:)



I am spent for the day, see y'all later

HELLO...........Hello.........Hello........Hello........Hello........hello

I hunted within site of weirs this weekend. there is a ton of shrimp back there. canals and ponds are full of shrimp jumping behind boat. they are thriving back there

No need to state the September issue, it was obvious the time frame we were speaking on.
We are talking about the impact of a marsh freezing and devastating shrimp population/migrations(Fall/Mid Sept-Mid Dec).

Yes, the marsh can freeze, but the likelihood of it freezing is very minimal.....and then freeze early enough to impact the shrimp migration or population is minimal to zero. I have to believe that your very rare one time picture of a frozen N wind blown marsh was taken long after the shrimp migration.

Secondly, at what point can I start to call the lake mine too? Must I own a certain boat? Maybe a Haynie, a Kenner, or a 20' Tunnel Hull with a tiller? A certain motor? Maybe throw a Tohatsu or Nissan on my tunnel hull? Just trying to do it right man, let me know!:help:

Go fish Matagorda if you like Texas so much, must have been a rough weekend for you....sorry, not sorry.:D
[SIZE=3] [/SIZE]

No doubt...I have a vid of reds stacked up by hundreds behind Grand Sat

Maybe on my 5th attempt to load on u tube it might take so i can post it


But with out rain and open gates for them to migrate out, 1st freeze they gone

I agree with this, but will say that the gates should be open by the time temperature is a relevant hazard.

I will also say that after living on the other side of the state for years the impact saltwater has on a marsh without a barrier system (whether it be weirs, levees, or islands) is truly devastating. My family has been on a 10 square mile lease for the last 50 years and the marsh is 75% gone. I used to hunt pot holes that are now lakes. Every year we rebuild blinds because the land the blinds used to sit on has receded 20 yds.They have recently built the giant wall, and opened the Caernarvon Canal to pump fresh water and silt in from the Mississippi but it is way too little too late. The Gulf is knocking on the back door of land that used to be very high and dry. To see La wetlands dissappear like that is disheartening.

I understand the struggle of crabbers and shrimpers, I was one for 3 years and grew up in the seafood sales industry. There are other places to catch shrimp and other areas that marine life lives then behind the weirs though.

You are talking about two different monsters .....9o% of the east erosion is from changing water ways to build cites underwater level

Here on west side do not have a marsh erosion problem and our marshes were top shelf before Rita and Ike

Our east side Marshes are not in any kind of close gate choke off lake problem

This coming from guys who hunt, fish and live off that marsh along with a biologist

Are you really admitting your not that smart? What I'm thinking i read your post. Enough said.

Smart is knowing this is your #87 post and 86 have been about me

Lmao

Pretty much own you !! I guess I can now add you to Club "W"

Salty
Rene (ASR)
And now SlickFish

Welcome to the club!! You have now comment and quoted 99.999 % of your comments towards me

Send me your shirt size and I will have your club "W" start up kit in mail ASAP

In 2003 and 2011 our entire marsh froze for more than one day ,so yes a freeze has occurred twice in the past ten years in our area. Both years had temps in the 20's .

Widgeon grass can survive in salinity as high as 30 ppt ,while currently Big Lake is running around 21 ppt.

I have fished Big Lake for at least 12 yrs now and this has been the worst year I can recall as far as catches ,for whatever the reason .

I truly believe man should not fool with what nature created. I grew up fishing Black Bayou in the Vinton area . Bass fishing was spectacular until man decided to block off cuts into the area . Along came hurricane rita and filled the marshes with saltwater ,which had no escape due to the blockages man created . Now most of the areas where bass once were are inhabited by redfish .

Im no marine biologist .These are just things I have seen with my own eyes that have occurred in the past twenty or so years in our area.

^^^^

That is F'n funny I dont care who you are :)

It can survive for what extended period of time?

Marsh dont freeze as per Duck Butt and Nick

Bothered much?

This is THE post of 2013. Maybe even the best one "cents" the beginning of this site. It's not only hilarious...........it's TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do I get a SC cash bonus for that one? Lol

Not saying a freeze won't happen. I AM SAYING A FREEZE WILL NOT OCCUR DURING THE TIME THAT SHRIMP ARE STILL IN THE MARSHES. But hey if you think that out of 10 years, 4 days of frozen marsh and a very slight possibility that the weirs weren't open that fall is worth talking about out of the other 3,646 days of saltwater intrusion then so be it.

As far as those blockages you speak of, I agree they should be allowed to drain as well. Very likely that if those blockages weren't there you would have probably been catching reds much sooner than Rita. A couple tropical storms and high tides and that area would have been eaten up with the salt much sooner.

It's the big picture..... risk vs reward. I'm sure when the salinity levels are too high the biologist aren't giving 2 *****s that W can't go throw his cast net at the weirs or take his customers to go catch some reds! Thousands of acres of coastal protection is priority.

Jesus help us, his name is Kenner and you have a tohatsu in your avatar. :*****: Living by the code, respect is given when respect is due.

Not 2 different monsters....one monster, saltwater. Without the MS River flooding it's banks and depositing it's alluvial soil(go google the word) and pushing the salt water out of the marshes the saltwater has a perfect avenue in. The marsh behind the weirs was not created to hold that amount of salt. Due to man made avenues the saltwater comes in more freely, and the weirs allow us to regulate it.

Some people are paid to think, and the rest...well the rest just wish they were.
