I don't fish west side and really don't know a lot about the weirs.
But this comment^^^ i do know about. In my 20+ years of fishing south of fourchon from the banks. I have seen many a canal go from 30 ft wide to 50 - 75 yds wide. Places that are open water now for 100s of acres are places i used to walk to my duck blind as a teenager. Many of the pits and ponds that i used to be able to walk around the banks and fish are nothing but open water. So if closing the weirs for 24 days a month saves some marsh then they should be closed. There are places that we fished when the SC members went to grand isle that i will not be able to fish in the next year or two as the land will be gone. I wish there would have been something like the weirs to help save the marsh around G.I.
