I just emailed him.

how long have they been oyster dredging this lake?

This year.......For the last few years no sure how long ....It was tong only..... and you never saw more than 10 boats on the lake oystering...


Now if they ever did dredge before this year It must of not been a lot of boats becasue I cant recall it being a issue.....

The last three years in west cove out in front of hog bayou canal. Actually seen a couple boats dreging the cross reef in west cove. Who know's where next.

Only the really hungry man needing to make money really bad tonged oysters.
Now, everyone with a boat, even some women, have a license to dredge oysters.
It too easy to catch 15 sacks when dredging. You can catch, sell and be home eating lunch by noon with a $300 or $400 check in your pocket.
