re Oak Ridge & Beau Bayou & damaged old cypress trees!!!!

[T&T]

We fished there Sunday all afternoon and caught only 2 bream & went back and tried again yesterday in late evening and caught 1 bream! The water is really beautiful back there but lots of duck weed along the way. We were very upset as we made our way yesterday thru what is one of our favorite places in the basin...the last part of the woods just before you get to where it opens up where you take the right to get to Beau Bayou area...it looked like the small (? jack up barge) that we had seen back there on Sunday, busted its way thru that section of the woods and really damaged many, many of the beautiful old cypress trees!!! Infuriating! Thought there were laws about destroying our cherished Atchafalaya Basin! Any of you will see what we're talking about if you go back there to fish. Would love to know who did this!
?gas company doing work in the area? We did not see the barge yesterday but the damage it did sometime between Sunday evening and yesterday will be there for a long, long time. So sad.

If it's oilfield they have enough money for the government to sweep it under the rug seen it too many times with big money and stuff like that but you can contact the basin keepers and they might be able to do something

The question is why you went back? LOL

Went to oak ridge Saturday and caught one big bream and a 8" sac. Talked to a guy today at the landing who went there today and didnt have a bite! Not sure where that barge is at you're talking about.

Those of us that fish the area need to get a petition to the Corps so they will open a freshwater cut for new water to come in and flush out Beau Bayou every year like it used to be. I used to catch beautiful sacs back there and monster goggle eyes.

I remember going as a kid with dad and loading the boat with big sacs and bream

You still can but you have to hit it right

Just saw the damage yesterday. Looked pretty bad.
