Marsh in the surrounding areas will benefit greatly along with a healthy dose of nutrients for larval survival. Your thoughts?

it will help for sure in our marsh in gc for the vegetation to grow back this summer. Come on teal season let's rock n roll. Too soon?

Oysters prefer saltwater. Marshes getting enuff saltwater from the rain. They's full now.
I'm ready for the rain to stop. My grass in the back yard is almost ankle deep and it is
too wet to mow.

Do you feel the specks move out of the fresher water to the south part of the lake? I have always thought that there is a salty layer of water on the bottom with the fresh water on top. The specks in my opinion don't move that much with dropping salinities, however their feeding habits become different. Fish stay on the bottom until levels rise. I fish mostly VB and do find that we can catch fish in rather muddy fresh waterk. They do hug the bottom with the baits needing to be slowly worked. Ever notice the color difference of specks caught in a low salinity area?

There is actually a know keep secrect of a place that keeps saltwater even when you have lots of freshwater ...... No body really knows why it don't drain or flush but you can have 1000% fresh water in turners and this place will be around 5ppm

I over herd Jeff Poe talking about this area..and it hold true
3 years ago when we had a real wet winter and spring...no one was catching fish but one of his guides was smashing them everyday in this area...and right now the salinity is higher than the south part of lake
