Wheres the beef?

There is useful info scattered throughout you just have to wade through W's memes and his anger with being wrong but there was a good post on the conversations that went on during Ws last fishing trip on page 2 or 3

also you better get out your cold weather gear, cuz it is going to freeze soon!

I can't tell you how many thousand dollars and countless hours we have spent in my marsh this year trying to get rid of this stuff. We are fighting a loosing battle and my lease is not worth paying for at this point.

Sorry for the rant and off topic post....

Regarding the coastal issues at the end of the day man create our issues with the ship channel on the west side and controlling the river on the east side and now man is trying to fix what he already screwed up and could be making the problem worse. Trying to play God is not always the right answer.

I wish it would start like wild fire behind the weirs

That is one reason they would love to have saltwater!!

Can I get a few samples to plant with duck grass

It really is all political don't want to name names but certain people are members of a hunting club back there that have political clout. They never fish calcasieu unless guided a dozen times a year and honestly don't know nor care about the estuary. There duck numbers were down so they started locking down the weirs to keep the salt out.

I believe the weir system used to be managed by either WLF or the Core, and may still be but political figures are def making the calls. They have never had the gates closed so frequently over the past three years. And it is/will effect the fishing due to lack of shrimp run .Plain and Simple-

They are locking it down strictly to keep,the salt out to increase bird #'s-

If you owned land back there and were a rice farmer, would you really want saline water on your rice fields?

But you are correct by saying its all for ducks. That is what Cameron Prairie NWR and Sabine are here for - management of waterfowl. If you get saltwater in your moist-soil units you are managing for waterfowl, it kills it plain and simple which means no food for ducks and less waterfowl for you and I to shoot. Lose lose to me

You think they will announce the opening of the weirs on their phone hotline before they open or will they open them, then announce it a day or so later ?
