Wiers not opening this year

[Andy C]

I have no dog in this fight, but them maps are not real right, been having a camp in the red part, for 5 year's and the marsh is healthy and nice. No all the trees have not come back from the storms but they growing. Also gator hunt Sabine ref, for3 years and there's way more marsh then there was when I was inthere in 05 , , there are weirs on the west side of biglake and they just fixed last Sep. Don't know if they ever open or close the now. But the first of Sep. I will take a ton of pics and post of the marsh. Are the wiers helping or hurting??? The fishing?? Maybe maybe not, are they helping the marsh??? From what I have seen some places yes others not at all. Just my 2 cents

Ill agree with u dub. U live down there practically. From what I see from a non avid bl expert(jk) those pics aren't true. There's a lot of marsh that those maps say aren't there that really are. But some of the pics show land where there isn't much to speak of as well. How do they judge this? Serious ques. From a chopper? I know the arial shots are from the air but the marked maps are they judging land loss from the air or do they survey on airboats bc that could be the deception I guess

Man I'm sick and tired of you trying to trash me. I don't know what I did to piss you off, but get over it. I do what I have to do to make a living, I don't talk crap about what you do. Don't trash what I do.

W, I do field surveys all the time and before I step foot out on the property I look at aerial photos, historic maps, topo maps, and soil maps. You can look at a soil map and pretty much know whats going to be there before you step foot onto the property. Just by looking at a soils map I can tell you the plants that will be there and with the plants come the animals. You then go and 'ground truth' the area to document what is out there. Its not rocket surgery.
