Joseph's Harbor
 

According to wildlife and fisheries website, the Joseph's Harbor launch and East End locks road will reopen tomorrow.

That's what was told to me too. Gotta see it to believe it !

Hell yeah....perfect timing for winter fishing

Game on!!!

Going Friday , who else will be out there?

I'm a try and go thursday don't get off of work until 8 am though

Went to rockefeller headquarters yesterday and spoke to a bilogist and he informed me that the wildlife agents went sunday and castnetted at all the structures and caught maybe 3 pounds of shrimp all together.

Yeah it changes from one day to another, north wind and cool fronts help a lot. I've went one day and caught a few pounds and went the next day and caught a quick limit.

oh i know i've been there and done that. Like he said this weekend should be pretty good, but better get there early it'll be packed.

Yeah you right , it's gonna be a mad house probably, not going on the weekend fo sho!

Me and a buddy went today to try the shrimp and we got them. We got there around 8:30 or 9 and we were done around 11:20 with 50 lbs. and I must say, the workers did a great job on the launch. It is very nice!!!

Good Brennen I'm glad u caught now bring me some to work tomorrow! Lol

Damn it looks nice a clean!
I wonder how long it will take before it gets all trashed up!

How much u want? They were not big, buts good medium shrimp!

Just messing with u hamma

I caught my limit of shrimp today. Size ranged from bait size to extra large. Any thoughts I had about all the shrimp stacked up for six months went...pfffft. It was a very average day. But I'm glad it's open.

Great reports it should get real good this weekend

great to see its open! looks very nice and clean and yea i sure hope it stay clean and everyone respect that place to keep it in good shape for many years to come... but there will always be some people tha does not give a poop abt keeping it clean.

Thanks for the report It will be YAHOO City there this weekend I'd imagine. In response to someone who stated something about a 6 month closure, I think it's longer than that. I don't think it was open during big duck season in (Nov) 2011. Anyway I'm glad it's finally open.
I, like most of you would like the place kept up the way it's supposed to so if anyone see's trash being intentionally left at the weir's please call the Refuge Office @337-538-2276 or Operation Game Thief @ 1-800-442-2511

Looks great!

Has any work been done on any of the weirs been repaired to make them more user friendly since the expenditure of the 2.6 million dollars??

The two weirs I passed by are still the same.
