More Calcasieu ship cannel dredging
 

I was out in the Prien Lake area Friday and spotted a dredge boat south of the I-210 bridge. I talked with the 2 people on a small "work" boat and found out that they will be dredging from there on down the river a few miles. They said this will take ~ 3 months.

I should have asked him if this is the same dredge boat that has been working down by 9 mile cut.

Is there a dredge boat still working at 9 mile cut on friday or this weekend? Or did the boat move up by the I-210 bridge.

Also, the parking area by the 210 boat launch had ~20 car/trucks parked there [no trailers] and 7 vehicles with boat trailer. The guys I talked with said the dredging crew was not parking at this launch. Anyone know why there were so many people "parking" there?

Fishing Report.......slow compaired to my Wednesday trip. 1 keeper Red and Trout and 2 flounder.....did not take any pictures.

Only caught a few rat reds. Caught ~15 croaker....all released except a couple used for bait. Water was maybe a little clearer but almost no movement all day. There was a fair amonut of boat traffic and jet skies during the afternoon.

noticed the last few times i passed by lately that there were a lot of vehicles without trailers in the parking lot dont know what the deal is

Dredge is still at nine mile there are two working.

It was just at the cut going to Spicers, spread out for three weeks in the area. The
buoys are set up different every time..
