I definitley understand this comment. But, are we gona be the one's to save their resource for them? Shouldn't work like that, but this is the world we live in. You would think that the entire state would adopt a uniform procedure.

You may have to change your argument to make them see what they are doing.

Gonna be tough to have a definitive arguement. One of the few tools on our side can be the West side Wildlife and Fisheries. They are absolutley fed up with the whole dredging issue. So, who knows. There is talk of the lake opening up north of Comissary Point.

To me, the ONLY way they MAY see that is if they actually take out the entire lake this year. Then next year, they would hopefully struggle so much as to realize that is in their best interest to let it rest for a year or 2.

Most, if not all the guys that I talk to that do oyster, would rather go back to tonging. They are tired of all the trash that came over when the dredging got popular.

There are not many good commercial grade oysters to the North of Big Lake.
Best ones are in an area North of the Old Jettys, and along the ship channel to Long Point.
West Cove is full too, but not commercially favored.
You cannot lease reefs in Big Lake. There are not enough and the lake is not big enough.
We have big oysters, but not many. East side of La. has lots more oysters, but not big ones. But they have huge bays and open water that we don't have.
If the state layed down a substate over the whole lake, then we might be able to have leases, but who gets to lease them? That will be another fight.


Stop the dredging, you will stop the massacre of oysters.

Go to tonging only like before and there will be plenty of oysters for a long time. Lazy people don't tong for oysters. Just the ones who really need the money.
