    Wonder why they chose Poinsett. Either way, I'm not complaining cause that'd be easy for me to attend.

    Joey you going in person?

    Delta in a nutshell: Breeding grounds + small wetlands + big blocks of grass cover + predator removal + nesting structures + enough money to do the job= plenty of ducks to keep everyone smiling!

    Just sent the email to get the login instructions. Always nice to hold these during business hours...

    I cannot make it in person but I sent email for log in as well. I’m either going to be on the road west or finishing up some calls to take on the road west.

    Are the login's unique or can you post it so everyone doesn't need to email?

    The meeting needs to only focus on Giant Salvania. Its already the #1 problem and doubles in 2 1/2 days during warm weather. Grass carp will eat it when other foods arent readily available, but WILL NOT control it. Herbacides and the introduction of the Black Weevil is the only answer. The Black Weevil will stop spreading and reduce populations.


    The carp are in poor condition due to lack of food. The giant Salvania is and will shade out the vegetation under the surface. Releasing any more carp into the system will not help anything at this point.


    The biologist already know this. There should be no argument on the correct plan. Anything else is just smoke and mirrors.

    When one of the annual topics is "Triploid Grass Carp Health" we are forever doomed.

    I'll be out of state enjoying wild wigeon grass, coontail, duck potato, naiads, etc and hopefully watching ducks fall from the sky the week of the 11th.

    What are the black seeds?

    I emptied the craw of a BBWD and it was slam full of a black seed similar to that.

    They still do not have a good understanding of the life span of the carp in the systems. So they really have no clue with past high waters and with no good estimation on life span... Hard to even guess the amount within the system already. The studies they use are all based off captivity and small scale systems of life span.

    Regarding giant salvinia, y'all ain't seen nothing yet.

    All the BS 30 years ago regarding hydrilla clogging water intakes will be laughable once salvinia gets a better toehold.

    I've seen what it can do!
    It's going to be a worst case scenario around here when all the Cypress domes are slap full of it.
    The only way to treat that habitat is by hand...

    I visited Samworth WMA this week. Dike work is occurring but the fields are unproductive due to cut grass. Once dikes are repaired they will be able to burn and begin to reverse the white marsh.

    During the trip I brought up the Aquatic Plant Management Committee. I expressed my disappointment in as aggressive a manner as I could. I told them they did not deserve a seat at the table and there was no evidence of leadership from their representatives on the committee. I have once again threatened to turn the committee upside down if they don't begin to lead.

    The SCDNR needs to release bass in Lake Marion below I95 and In Lake Moultrie. The population is down to where it's hard to get over 3-4 bites per day. It's been getting worse every year for the last six years.

    The DNR continues to release stripers in all the lakes but never bass.

    It's starting to effect tourism.

    It doesn't effect the home owners and bathwater people

    They are asking for more hatchery money. I will see what is up.
