Guys I did not want to turn all of us against each other here. And yes we are trying to fix things ourselves becuase we went through appropriate channels and htey turned a dead ear to us. Can we fix it YES it is a simple fix. As soon as I can get all the real hard materials in my hand to put out to you all I ask is read it and make your own decision. After all who knows more about the area than the people who are in in everyday. We know the subtle changes when they happen and can see their effects. All we want as humans is to fix what humans have screwed up. Hope this picture shows up. It is a shot of Garfield bite. Anyone who fished this years ago knew about the massive schools of redfish that were always there.. This is all you find now. Destroyed flats that no intelligent fish of any kind would go near due to the pressure they are receiving...This is only one small portion of this flat and unfortunatly any where you look it is starting to look like this.. If you can look at this and not agree that somethng must be done than maybe well I dont kno what to say to you then...

Ummmm , how do prop scars relate to fixing damage done by a hurricane ?
Don't want to get into a debate ....just want to know the details and what the " planned fix " might be .

I know you old guys can only focus on one topic at a time, but it is possible to have a meeting and discuss more than one issue.

I guess i did.

So now you have gone from being grumpy about this being in the HB section, to the people who are trying to pay for and fix these plugs are not good enough. They have a team of biologists and money set up to take care of the problem with the plugs. Am i missing something? People are making a big effort to try and fix the problem.

Since none of this meets your approval, who do you think should take care of it?

rj u think a million dollars has no strings attached

This allowed salt water to rush in and destroy the freshwater mix of the marshes located west of Flamingo and above the North shore of Fl. Bay. These areas are vital for the rearing of juvinal redfish, snook, tarpon and trout. Before the plugs blew out biologists were netting loads of young gamefish in every cast not throw. In the last 3 years they have not caught one single fish

Just a question, "canals", "ditches", and "plugs" sound manmade, wouldn't the removal/restoration back to a natural state be better for the glades longterm?
