We dropped the ball this year and now we can't make it to our ponds. We flew over last weekend and about 80% of a 2-1/2 mile canal leading to our section is basically impassable. You can see the little trail on how far we were able to make it with 2 Prodrives before giving up. This stuff is like a floating land mass, and no telling what all this high water will do to it now.

There are aerial herbicide companies in SE Texas that can do this. Have used them several years back for spraying clearcuts. They use helicopters with a boom sprayer, BUT they would likely need permission from the landowner first. They are also very cautious about spraying on the edges of anything such as roads and property lines, so that they dont get drift into neighboring properties. Its also pretty expensive. Will see if I can dig up who it was that we used
I would first talk to whomever you lease from and see if they will allow you to do this with an airboat and do it yourself
