Corp of Engineers and Drought
Conditions
Are you like me in regards to being sick and
tired of hearing about the Drought situations.
Many lakes in the southeastern United States like Lake
Lanier are about to dry up. I have a few lakes in
Mississippi that really gets my blood boiling when I hear that
due to Mother Nature not giving us spring rain the lake is down
and will hurt this year's fishing.
Granted some of the lakes are used to help out the farmers keep
their crops from drying up...but come on guys.
I talk to the Corp of Engineer guys and they say that they have
to let the water levels down due to Spring flood. Hey guys wake
up and smell the coffee.
We have not had spring rain in the last two years so why let
what little water the lakes build up out?
I have been told that the lakes are not for the fishing people
and they have to let the water out in the winter just in case
we do get rain in the Spring.
For the past two years Arkabutla, Sardis, and Enid Lakes have
been taken down to dangerous low levels. These guys know there
is no way that the lake will refill even if we do get Spring
Rain.
Why can't we let a little bit of water out if it is that full?
If we do not get the spring rain; it will not hurt the
lakes.
Sardis Lake this past year had thousands of Crappie die off due
to poor water conditions.
Mississippi Wildlife said nothing to worry about....Sorry guys
if I had a hundred die off, that is something I am very
concerned about.
What everyone needs to do is stop blaming Mother Nature and put
the blame on the folks pulling all the lakes down in the
winter.
Someone has got to know how we can at least slow these folks
down. If this happens once it could have been a mistake happens
again shame on us for letting it happen.
Happens the third year in a Row, tell the kids that is why we
are eating at Captain D'S and not out catching our own
fish.
Keep the Hooks Wet If You Still Have Water
