1. More freshwater flow due to draining much larger watersheds. Also dammed reservoirs releasing fresh water for power generation during low rainfall periods. 2. Weaker coupling between Sabine Lake and the Gulf of Mexico. The southern end of Sabine lake is less connected to the ship channel. In addition, the marsh between Sabine and West Cove may simply be less susceptible to saltwater intrusion. Possible explanations: 1. The soil is slightly higher in elevation. As much as 6" would make a big difference in saltwater intrusion. 2. The soil types on that part of Cameron may be less susceptible to saltwater intrusion. |

That makes absolutely no sense. What about the marshes on se ends of galveston bay and ne corner. Lower Laguna and Baffin have huge marshes feeding into estuary. Baffin, corpus christy, and laguna madre there salt levels stay in mid 20's. Why they have giants and we don't.
I have friends that guide in several estuary's in texas and when they come to big lake and see a weir system blocking off a natural marsh. They laugh and say only in LA can you buy a lock sytem to protect yourduck hunting. |

Those systems favor the production of much smaller numbers of bigger fish. The waters are warmer due to lower latitude which extends the growing season, so specks grow longer each year. The bigger specks actually get big enough to eat smaller specks buy age 3 or so, so that speck on speck food chain is much more prominent than in Louisiana waters. Another important difference is that those marshes have always been salt marshes. They have reached an equilibrium as salt marshes. They are not formerly brackish marshes that stand to undergo tremendous erosive losses if converted to salt. Soil and bottom types are also much more resistant to erosion than the silt in SW LA. |

Just came off 30 days of vacation and spent all but 3 at camp, those full time guides are disgusted with how the State and CCA has let our fishing go to hell!
One of the guides who has been guiding on lake over 20years started applying for plant jobs because he knows this is about to run dry! no bait , no oysters , no land , ship channel 60ft deep to la berge Weirs operated like ObamaCare Not going to make fish stay !!!

ask the gill netters from the 80s and 90s how big the trout were here. they would put them in crates of 100 lbs of fish. I have heard stories of 10 fish per crate and they were gutted.

Instead of complaing about it on here set up a lake alliance. Approach all involved parties (eg, port of l.c., ldwf, ldeq(based on sediment deposition the aliance could influnce BMPs to be installed by port). Develop a lake corrective action plan (CAP) and submit it to CPRA, many parishes governments are curently doing this to get a piece of the draft master plan. Within the master they have probably 10 go-bys that would be a great template for the at hand problems. If you formailze it on paper you will get a better response vs. Trying to use the good old boy method. The CAP would probably take 5, 000 - 8, 000 to write it.Just my .02. Have a fishing tournament to sponsor the plan. Boooom.

Or loose the great fishing that we all know the lake can sustain.

the texas bay systems are natural salt water bays. Sabine and Big lake have man made ship channels in to gulf. Sabine has more freshwater flow frome 2 rivers BL has 1.

Cajun Outback in upper Trinity Bay has a levee around their hunting lodge and property..they control the salt levels with a type of "wier" system. Pipes and valves. Guess where the best duck hunting is. Rain is their best friend.

Just rocked a big piece of the ship channel here. Looks like the feds chipped in. From the limited research I've done, it looks like the feds, the city of port Arthur, and the navigation district all chipped in on the project. Hope this helps. http://countyprogress.zacpubs.com/news-reviews-14/
