How bad did Hurricane Barry hurt the Dularge area ? It’s been a few weeks now since the storm . Any reports of the fish population getting hurt both fresh and saltwater species ?

It got it pretty bad. Haven't heard of any adverse effects on the fish though.

High surge and lots of trash piled up against roseau cane stands.

It’s pretty bad. In regards to the fish, all of the aquatic and marsh grass is dead from the saltwater pushing into the marsh so the water is muddy and redfishing has not been the same since pre-storm.

I went fishing a week ago and three of us limited out on reds and specks two days straight. This was my first trip of the year, but the other two guys fish there on a regular basis. They both said this was their best two days fishing all year.
I saw very little damage on the structures that you can drive to. An occasional shingle or a piece of siding missing. The flood gates did their job of holding back the surge.
The camps in the marsh west of Lake Decade is another story. I would say every camp elevated 4' or less had surge damage. A few structures were knocked off of there pilings. I saw very little damage on the structures elevated 15' or more. About 50-60% of camps had some dock/piling damage from minor to major.
You need to keep a sharp eye out when running in a boat, there is a lot of debris floating the water.

I actually think the fishing has picked up. With a lot of the surface grass dying it has allowed us to get into places we fished last year. The beginning of the summer most places were off limits because of the amount of grass.

fishing is just as good.

I heard that mostly bass were involved in the fish kill but not as bad as originally reported.
