Easy the bay boat board was down so you could not pass but gates were wide open
Like a I said ; you ask any guides who have been on this lake since late 90s they will say the same thing !! The gates were always open Hell from 2001till hurricane they were always open and I know that for a fact because my data books have many trips back there on redfish

We just did not lose all that marsh because of the levee breaks we also just had a 22ft tidal surge 2 out of 5 years
That's what caused the marsh loss pure gulf water and 100mph winds

your nailed it, thats what i meant. i lived on big lake from 94-05 my grandpaw and dad grew up on it making a living since the sun was invented. both talked of the destruction over all the decades of politics and industry. this isnt some NEW idea that we just found out about. theres been corruption amidst for generations... it just keeps getting more powerful. yea things change, everything does. |

water would flow so the bait could go where they have been going forever, into the marshes. now they stop it completely where not a dang thing can enter.

It doesn't matter how much land is gained, next hurricane that dumps straight ocean water on the marsh is going to kill it all and it will all open back up. They need to be pumping lots of water from intracoastal into the marsh. There is a small blowout west of Gibbstown bridge right now, but if they had big weirs and maybe a pump or too I think that would help tremendously. Until then, their plan is "wait for rain." Not a very strong plan in my opinion.

Smalls thinks because his crew had a history lesson power point that showed my camp floating on water ( according to the map) that we lost marsh because the weirs were open
They have data from when to when and shows they gained thousands of acres and the weirs were opened all the time with flow and only after two major hurricanes we had a loss of marsh They can keep weirs open and not lose anything but maimi corp is getting ready for another great duck season

Hey Waltrip, what were your observations about the weirs in 1990-1991? I have a report right here that indicates less openings that we have seen in the last 3 years. I would estimate the overall percentage of gates open at less than 50%. In fact, the only time that greater than 50% of the weirs were open occurred in February and Mid-March to Mid-April 1990, and from Mid-January to March 1991. From Mid-April to Mid-October 1990, the percentage of gates open was less than 50%. From June to October 1990, the percentage of gates open was less than 25%. So, maybe this statement, Quote:
Of course this is only 15 months of a 16 year time period we are talking about, but I seriously doubt that you could have achieved 90% openings over the course of 16 years (that is approximately 172 months, or 14.4 years). Now, if what you are saying is that 90% of the time there was at least 1 gate open, then I will agree with you on that. But that isn't what you said. Also, keep in mind, the figure that Leigh Anne showed was the Boat Bay Openings. My understanding is that the management is in Phase 2. If this is in fact the case, then only the Boat Bay would be left open, unless salinities become to high. This seems to be consistent with what has happened in the last 3 years, without looking at salinity data and fully basing that on the number of days the boat bay has been open. |

Yea and Toledo bend is never "all" the way closed either. Lmbo, I know the guy that manages the land that borders the weirs and he does a great job, much better than the crap so called weir authority.

You poking fun at my Hispanic heritage?
Maybe that's why I love black drum and gafftops? Or maybe it's because it's all I can catch. I tell you what, late one afternoon at the beach a crew 10-12 of "ethnic shore anglers" showed up and waded well out into the surf slinging mullet on drop rigs. They put 10-12 bull reds on the beach more quickly than I've ever seen it done before right as the sun was setting, with a few gafftops mixed in. Don't you white boys be making fun of us ethnic fellows. |

I know very well that Louisiana loses more than just what is behind the weirs. So does that mean we should just not worry about it, because we are losing more land elsewhere? What if we treated every watershed that way? Where would we be? |

I guess you missed my attempt to return the humor. Let me try again:
My identical twin brother used to deliver pizzas to some of BR's ethnic neighborhoods. On one occasion, a couple local gentleman blocked his path and said, "We don't like white boys comin' round here." My brother smiled, put his hand on the grip of his Glock, and replied, "Who you callin' WHITE?" They got out of his way in a hurry. |

From what Leighann showed at the meeting the entire Calcasieu-Sabine basin lost land during the bad years, but 50% of the land loss occurred in the Cameron Creole watershed. It is the most vulnerable place in the entire basin and that is why it has the extra measures to protect it.
