Generally speaking, if this is an embankment pond, raising the dam height will enlarge the pond, ie it will “push” more water into the pond surface area. Typically this involves digging a small core ditch (3-5’ deep x an excavator bucket wide) in the center of the existing dam, the entire length of the dam, then adding good clay (in 10-12” lifts) into the core ditch, compacting each lift with dirt pan, loaded dump truck or roller compactor. Then coming up with the clay the width of the dam, and likely adding to the backside of the dam to maintain the original width of the dam top.

I’m retired from Eng and Cons career and selectively design/consult on ponds and lakes. It’s amazing how many poor “pond contractors” there are out there, so be prudent in your choice.

Montana and there’s not a close second for me. The biggest wild country left in the continental U.S. Yellowstone drove up the prices, and there’s a big $ difference in a property that has snow plow service and one that doesn’t. I tried to make it work but decided it’s just too damn far for me at this stage of life.

There is a great Airbnb on Bayou Terrebonne south of Montegut. There are 2….or more and this one is a yellow house. Super clean and nice with great dock.

Yep it was on that album after the 45 was originally released weeks after the game. I found that link but when I clicked on it, the song wasn’t there. I see the 45 for sale on eBay too.

This is his last hurrah, as Gov, Senator or Dog Catcher. Louisianans are on to his corrupt arse.

I live part time on a main brackish water bayou below Houma, La. The other time is spent in the rolling hills of SW MS. My bayou home is very comfortable and with a nice dock, boathouse with screened kitchen and hang out area, tv, etc that I built in 2023. The mosquitos are no big deal if you know their tendencies, which is they come out at dusk when there isn’t much wind. If it’s windy, no mosquitos. Gnats can be a problem in the late winter, early spring and sometimes late fall if there isn’t any wind, but they’re easy to deal with when fishing etc. using vanilla or one of the mostly organic sprays.

Screen porches are the ticket, use what they call no-seeum screen. Last week my wife and I caught a mess of speckled trout on Thursday, and Friday went and caught about 5-6 meals of shrimp with cast net, and meanwhile we’re catching a mess of crabs off the dock in traps with the speck heads.

From November to March, with high pressure sodium lights, we catch specks and reds off dock at night. Much of that is deer season in MS, so I usually let the weather decide where I will be. South wind and incoming tide, I’m on bayou, otherwise in MS hunting.

The bayou is cool as shite; like anything else you just need to know how to work it.

Yea I can see that and a buddy is contemplating that approach. I just got back into market in the Trump tariff dip, then again bout a few batches during the Iran war dip. I know the financial advisors say you can’t time the market, but I like value buying when the K-Mart sales hit.

Yes he’s a great and humble guy. I can speak to this; when Moon makes a decision like this and makes a public statement, it’s because he’s being honest and isn’t doing it for favors, etc. One may disagree with his statement or with his general knowledge on the subject, that’s your prerogative. But whatever he’s saying, he’s sincere about it.

We played basketball at Redemptorist together and remain friends. If you watch the clip, Moon is simply stating who he’s voting for, that’s it. He didn’t trump it up as any official endorsement (although that’s what it is) and he also said if Letlow wins the primary, he’d be voting for her in Nov.

I have a home/camp on Bayou Terrebonne where I spend about half my time and all of those are solid locations.

Here is my only additional input. Get inside the Morganza to Gulf Hurricane Levee. And you can get more protection by being on higher ground with trees around (not right next to camp obviously), other homes/camps adjacent to you. Other structures/woods break the hurricane winds a bit. Check with insurance company before you buy to see if they will even insure it, and what premiums. Louisiana Citizens may be the only company, depending on location.

Some camps stick out like sore thumb for a hurricane with nothing else around and farther south. Several years ago I bought a house that was built in 1938 and very solid. 1/2” plywood on all exterior and interior walls under the wallboard and a heavy gauge metal roof. Rode thru Ida fine including eye wall.

Being inside the levee and a bit farther north may make a little farther run to fish in the summer time, but IMO it’s worth it. This past weekend we had a nice speck trip on Thursday, caught 10 lb shrimp Friday and a mess of crabs.

I will admit that I’ve been in scenarios where we needed fish to eat that night and water was dirty or weren’t catching trout for whatever reason, and we would keep gafftops. They’re good eating if you trim the bloodline off.
