Open water to be announced for Sabine soon.

[duck enticer]

Wild Pig, thanks for sharing the map. I appreciate you giving us the heads up. A buddy called me last night to talk about the changes. I have some recommendations I am going to make via PM.

Pro's:
More room for everyone to navigate. Opens up more area, therefore allowing more hunter's to hunt at a safer distance.

Hopefully the boat/canoe hazard will go away.

If two boats are too close it will be easier for one to get away from the other.

Easier to get to spot with the imposed 4:00 A.M. launch. (I think the launch time should go back to 3; heck even 2).

Cons:

Could potentially open up the marsh more.

More hunters

Lots of hunters where the ducks are if they are in close proximity to one of these running lakes. (The ducks won't be there long)

Surface drive/go devil city. Very loud.



I will say that this needs to be enforced. Will there be signs clearly designating motor/no motor areas? If not, because of the ambiguity of the boundaries of these lakes there will always be individuals who press their luck.
