fixed it...

Lets here your thoughts Mr. USL

W= uses so many worthless responses he has to involve the the man upstairs for support. Keep on keeping on smalls!

Lmao Post 1o2 about me

I have your club "w" start up kit in the mail!!

You will where your shirt proud!!

Keep on following

Are you assuming you were the ONE?

my thoughts on this are as follows:

you don't know enough to know that you know enough to know what enough is errrr or something like that...

Your going to argue this point until your blue in face regardless...Until you quit your job. Pony up for a 4 year degree in whatever field would qualify you as an expert in land erosion I suggest you take a little of the knowledge being offered here and apply it your real word experience.

But hey I'm just a dumb UL grad so carry on...I'm just here to watch the world go by...

I try and stay out the political side of it. I Will catch fish either way.

Just some info for everybody to take as u want my family settled in big lake in the middle 1800s the lake was a large marsh lake withe average depth of 2 to 3 foot it was filled with lily pads and many bass there were cypress trees in the northern end if u go into the far reaches of turners where it is shallow and look hard and pole around u can still feel some of the old stumps.my great grandfather had told me it was filled with many tropical and colorful birds. Which is the reason they came here they made a living shooting these birds and sending the colored feathers back to new York to make women's hats and clothes the calc river was shallow and always flowed out. Then the ship channell changed everything

And I have a 4 year degree, Ag, and wildlife!!! From mcneese!! So been studying the west marsh for 10 year's since I got out of school. but what do I know??

If our marsh grass guys would worry more about land loss along the ship channel than some saltwater in a saltwater marsh then we could get somewhere

Steam engine island will be gone in a few years, super cut islands are gone north and south west cove entrance are getting wider, long point island is smaller

Real things like this

That is why the weirs are closed political not logical

Save duck grass= good hunting = $$$$$

You should ask them about duhon shell druge, cause in the 50-65' they took every bit of shell and mud out the lake and westcove !!

Way more than me on this topic...I assume...

What arguement can you present to Duckbutt regarding his theory other than are "Are we doing the right thing"? What is the right thing? Yes mother nature will rebuild but at what rate? Will it be significant enough to combat what is supposedly being lost?

I don't know.

Thats why a collective assement from all sources need to be considered.

Again what do i know.

That's a hard one to answer too, me personally let nature do it's thing. But with all the leaves and dams and locks up the rivers, it's hard to say what's best, cause just like our grandparents and there parents didn't know what effect what they did on it...

Agreed. The channel is crucial for the survival of our economy in southwest LA.

I for one make a living based on industries which utilize the channel for shippng and recieving various products.

Our fore fathers made a critical error, now whats steps do we take to minimize the known issue?

Or is too far gone?

Only thing you can do to save those islands is put rocks around em

Hey smalls what does that tell ya? Things are changing an you can't do nothing about it. I'm going to laugh when you're the last one standing scratching your head while everyone else has accepted change an learned to adapt. A matter of fact it's already happening look at your catch totals lately an tourney results. So you call your self a guide? Ya outta see if you piggyback off jadams if your going to make it in the business short one.:eek:

Look my duck ^^^^

O my guide business is doing fine!!! Booked 4 out of 7 days off for next 3 months @ $525 a pop!!

That's fantastic!!! How about posting up honest daily pics an reports for the next three months on your charters? Seems like a fishing site would be a great place to promote your services.

Go to my facebook u can get them daily

so you don't like promoting your GUIDE BUSINES on salty cajun? Jadams does.

Exactly

:fireworks:

You said "Infact" and then stated nothing factual. I was honestly wondering what the fact was.

To make a legitimate fact based statement you must state something and then back it up with a supporting fact. For example, "In fact the saltwater barrier doesn't keep saltwater out like most people think. It is a structure engineered and designed primarily to control drastic tides and surges rather than the infamous everyday salt intrusion from the south. "

I have no idea if the above is true, but that is the type of response an educated person would give when trying to state a fact or make a point. Work on that before you go take your LEAP test this year little Johnny.

Seems like you know little about your own marsh other than when your daddy takes you fishing you catch saltwater fish.

Im not JAdams am I??? I stay book with more trips than I can run!!

So next question?



Your shirt is coming

FAR FROM IT!! Keep up the good fight.

Stulb- they have know clue what we know

But we do know saltwater in a saltwater marsh is a horrible sin

Don't get mad you can't slap up a limit of trout.. Got this today, darlin'
Funny how You switched to correcting grammatical errors due to your lack of knowledge on the subject. Take a seat Attachment 55908

Well dammit let everyone know...what are you afraid of? Maybe enough people pissed will make it change...

Lmao @ Hunting Fool

Dude tossed up a report card

Transcrip dawg. Transcript.

By the way. Graduation is comin up. Get ya check book out

You cant change $$$$$$$$$$

Its has zero to do with erosion, save the marsh or salinity

It is all about who has the most $$$ = most power
Old politics

Very nice transcript Fool

Give us facts about what you say!!! We want facts boy!

Understood. It's a problem that mankind has faced since the beginning (economics)

Now who specifically is the culprit...be it a group, individual, etc

Forgive me for not paying attention to the 12 other threads started about this topic (why I'm in this one I do not know) what was the original intent of the weir system?

What do you want facts on Nicky? We are saving the barrier discussion for another thread.

Weren't you the scrub who said the marsh couldn't freeze previously in this thread?

Did say that it happens very very seldom and won't happen anytime near when shrimp are in there. Been hunting longer than you have been alive and can count maybe a half dozen times I broke ice on salt marsh.

W this the power of the Internet....social media and Internet forums...it gives the little man (no pun intended) the opportunity to voice their concern and quite possibly be heard.

Maybe your concern for the corruption involved with the weir system could open eyes of the many...

Hell Egypt used social media to oust a tyrannical leader (which brought in the Muslim brotherhood) by coordinating protest and voicing their agenda.

1. Understand factual problems associated with the weir system
2. Pinpoint the cause of the problem
3. Coordinate an effort to reverse the problem
4. Rape the lake.

4 simple steps to gain the power you so richly deserve

Oh. So in 1998 you broke ice with shrimp in the marsh? Damn break out the ziplocks, get to bagging some frozen shrimp.

"It ain't gonna happen" famous quote right there.

[quote=Nickt87;628322]And even if it does freeze when your shrimp are caught behind the weirs no one gives a flying flag that shrimp boot billy didn't get to catch that year and make his drug money on selling 5 gallon buckets of shrimp. A shrimp kill is a fly on a bulls arse compared to saltwater intrusion.

Nope. Shrimp were long gone at that time.

Amen. Go get a job where you are payed to think and call the shots or quit crying. Play the hand your dealt and deal with it. The man with the gold makes the rules, so get the gold or get to packing.

1st its a federal refuge funded by our tax dollars
Managed by $$$$$$

And the CCA will not touch this issue with a toe nail!!!


Im surprised none of those crabbers from Cameron have not sent those weirs up in powder

Lots of people losing money right now

Here is your first arguement that needs to be presented....I along with everyone (hopefully) on this site pay taxes.

You need a solid arguement as to why our tax dollars are being used for political gain.

Raise this issue, hopefully someone reading this knows the correct avenue or someone who does in order to get the ball rolling.

When will they open the boat bay? I am assuming some time in October?

Good morning all!:rotfl:

That is the problem W and if you would 'except' the fact that you are wrong by calling it saltwater marsh we may get somewhere. Its brackish marsh. Brackish marsh does not = saltmarsh. That is the problem:)

Need 9 more inches of rain

Were trying to save the duck grass from getting salty!! Our saltwater marsh is not allowed saltwater

I dont see them opening up until we have a good flood rain for a few days

Anyone that does not believe saltwater intrusion is bad in SW La, please just do the following:

1. Call or stop by the LDWF office in Lake Charles and 'axe' a biologist there about saltwater intrusion effects on the marshes of SW La

2. Head straight down 27 from there to Cameron Prairie NWR and axe someone there if saltwater intrusion is affecting them negatively

3. On the way there check out the marshes to the west and east side of the road and look at all that open water

4. At 82 head east to Rockefeller and stop in and talk to a biologist or manager there about saltwater intrusion and how its affecting management there

5. Keep heading west and look to the north side of the road and notice all those big old live oaks along the side of the road that saltwater killed

6. Keep heading east til you cross the Intracoastal and talk to a rice farmer in Vermilion Parish and see if saltwater is affecting them

7. Stop by in Lafayette and drink a beer with me:grinpimp:

:)

Idk, but as soon as they do I will be out there with 4 rods, a cast net, and a dozen crab lines hanging off my boat.....not kidding.:D
