All water is open!!!!
 

All water was just opened for recreational inside and outside state waters

woooo hoooooo

Great news........

Just looked on wafb .com and they are saying the same .All open including chandelur islands ,elmers island etc.
If elmers has not been completly cleaned and they still have the sand berms in place
Do they think LDWF is going to open it up to the public?

headed out right now to the pernt.

Must be cuz these guys were just at the LDWF meeting.

There was no discussion about the actual beaches but I got there late. I don't think that is ldwf's decision though

Man thats great news!

Just to clarify. It is only the state waters that have been opened. Right?

Does that mean we can fish tiger shoals all the way to Cameron?

Only state waters

Ten 4 thanks mo

Somewhere in timbalier bay im guessing? :smokin:

Someone said it would all be open in august.

I was waiting for someone to point that out.

No. There was no discussion on re-opening the beaches to surf fishing.

no need to remember...just found tha draws in the other room dog musta snatched em !!!:*****:

According to the maps on LDWF site, Grande Terre and 4 Bayou pass is still closed.
They still show the Timb. Islands closed too.
Maps have Aug. 20, 2010 dates on them.
11% of state waters are still closed.
I don't see any difference in closed areas yet.

Oops, didn't read that right.
Closed to all recreational angling, except for recreational angling for fin fish.
Trawling, crabbing and oysters are still closed in these areas.

Friend had his whole catch thrown back and he was ticketed last weekend...he thought he Was in an open area .......y'all carry a map with you!!!

Yes, this is correct. Only STATE waters up to 3 miles. Spoke with Game Wardens this morning and it is only open to the 3 mile line. THat includes from Tiger Shoals all the way to Cameron. Be careful out there. They are starting to enforce the federal waters pretty heavy out of Cameron to the east.

Has there been any reports of oil between Vermillion Bay and Johnson's Bayou? It seems like the federal closure should have been lifted.

How far does fed water go out.

200 miles... But not all is closed

Yes B, there was oil out of the Cameron jetties for 2 days. One of our guide's brother is a pilot for the pogie plant. They spotted a large area of oil when Troipcal Storm Alex had hit south TX/Mexico. The winds pulled a fair amount of it across here, but it was gone pretty quickly. Still not sure why these federal waters are closed over here. There is no point.
