re: Crabbing in Lake Ponchartrain

I have a place in Lacombe and I can tell you that we have been out of the normal pattern of SE/S winds starting in May pushing saltwater and the shrimp and fish in. I do believe closing the MRGO keeps saltwater out but this year we did not have SE winds until end of July. I can just look at the water height and when the floating grass dies to know if the salt water is coming into the Lake. Lots of Jacks and reds though.
