Response I got from Patrick Banks concerning oyster dredging.


Mr. Dupuis:
I met this morning with my bosses, including Assistant Secretary Randy
Pausina, about your concerns. *We are continuing to review biological
and harvest data, and are assessing the fisheries resources in the lake.
Following the completion of that review, we will provide more
information to you. *We appreciate your concern for and interest in our
renewable natural resources in Calcasieu Lake.

Mr Banks
Please do something about the oyster dredging on Big Lake. It is going *
to ruin our fishing habitats. They are everywhere!
Thank you

you'll never hear back from them.... it took them 4 years before i heard about crows being a nusiance on my farm ???

I hope they don't wait until after April 30 [season closes] to figure out that the Reefs have been over fished and the fisheries have been damaged.

I called in a gill net slap full of dead catfish last year and they never even came to verify that there was one there!:pissed:

After a couple of days of waiting, the 40 merc and some rope handled up on that gill net mighty fine!
:smokin:
Pisses me off that they will sit at the launch and write tickets but do nothing about legitimate concerns!:pissed:

He might as well have bolded that for you... :pissed:

I just caught that, I guess he thinks were a bunch of idiots. I might be overeacting but I dont like his choice of words either. :pissed:

A natural resource is a renewable resource if it is replaced by natural processes at a rate comparable or faster than its rate of consumption by humans.

The oyster reefs are not fn renewable if you wipe em out with mechanical oyster boats.

X 2 SON!!

exactly what they dont comprehend!!!!
