Converting LakeP into freshwater

Was talking with buddy while fishing down in Dulac about how I wish LakeP was a better area since I live close to it. He brought up an interesting idea. Put a control structure down in the Rigolets and make it a fresh water lake. Would attract a lot of big bass tournaments, and would help the duck hunting in the area greatly. I know there are probably a lot of things I am missing why this wouldn't be a good idea, I am just bringing it up theoretically. However there is not an overwhelming sport fishing base in the lake, not much of a shrimp harvest that I am aware of, I think they do decent on the crabs. Lets discuss, good idea, dumb idea?

I've alway said flood out New Orleans. Would make a great speck and redfish lake, and would be easier than what you're proposing.

Much better option would be to run a fresh water through Maurepas WMA and make that healthy again...

Decent is a tremendous understatement.

Sounds like a great way to waste taxpayer money

You may suck at fishing, because I can tear up the specks in Lake P almost whenever I want.
Also the duck hunting is not bad where you can access it. We used to lease land near the rice fields in madisonville, and destroyed ducks there.
I have buddies that shrimp the lake and are pretty successful at it.
Also I dont know if you've ever ridden a boat in the lake but there are crab traps everywhere.

there IS a pretty big saltwater sportfishing population in the lake, and there are already places where bass can be caught around the lake

The state of LA has been looking into doing it for years. The idea of putting a "great wall" across it for flood protection purposes is the idea. The fish and animal people dont like the idea so much though.
