I have not hunted back there this season. But my friends who did, said it was a tough year. I hunted straight South of Lamberts Bayou. Just outside the refuge.
There are a lot of variables. But one year won't hurt the fishing.
They have done this before, and it didn't hurt.
There is a lot of marsh on the other side of the lake. And there are a lot of Reds still
behind the weirs.
The worst thing I have seen with the weirs closed is the killing of tons of Shrimp.
If they close them before the Shrimp leave, they will die once the water temps get
too cold. This has happened before. Thats why they leave the slat openings open.
They don't want to fight another law suit from the commercial fishing industry.
