Our LA state biologist were on our side with this issue and said oystering needed to be closed down. Politics over rode the WLF Biologist on this one and allowed this to happen Mr. Yakupzack can be contacted at: P. O. Box 1467 Lake Charles, LA 70602 Phone: 337-494-0694 Fax: 337-494-0697 E-mail: bartyak@graylawfirm.com

And CCA don't want none of the oyster mafia. LDWF either. I bet all y'all eat oysters. Where do you think they come from? This faux outrage is why Hillary will be elected |

tong = less boats fishing due to the nature of the work dredging destroys reefs unlike tongs you have to reseed

Everytime you go fishing take a dump in the water on the south end of the lake, maybe DHH will shut it down too.

Here is the actual study. Somehow the comerical interest were able to talk around to get the season open.

Studies have shown that tonging for oysters preserves the reef structure and the habitat benefits nearly as well as not harvesting the oysters at all. In contrast dredging destroys the reefs and results in most of the calcified material getting buried in the muck and mud resulting in a much less dynamic benthic ecosystem. Further, all the silt stirred up negatively impacts light penetration and photosynthesis. It is much better to think about the ecosystem in terms of the food web. Everything about harvesting with tongs is better for the food web than dredging. |

Keep raping the oysters, the system will suffer. It did suffer from 2010-2012, but came back in 2013 when the pogey plant closed. As has been mentioned, there is a more sustainable approach (tongs) to harvesting oysters that is better for the ecosystem. No one us saying don't harvest oysters. The point is to do it in a sustainable way with minimal impact on the ecosystem. |

He can't seem to to grasp to part of the study that shows excessive harvesting to seed ratio. That means that soon there will be none to harvest.

And next, all of the lake will be open, good bye turners bay.

I agree. I am not a huge fan of oysters, but if I do eat them they're at vic and anthonys and are flown in from NE.

So who will they blame when the oysters are gone. Most of the ones that wlf seeds back into the lake can't survive if they don't have the needed reef surface to attach to.

You have no clue what you are talking about. So, just do everyone a favor, go brush your teeth, AND SHUT UP!! The fact that you cite increases in guides as a reason for the ecoystem being fine is just asinine. How many of those guides limit out on every trip? How many are catching majority undersized trout, or 12" trout? How has the average catch of other guides been affected, if at all? So if the ecosystem is fine, why did LDWF want to close the season? What, is there some giant conspiracy against the oystermen? |

Not sure what there is to be confused about.
