Thanks for the link.
Lot of tax dollars for that. Make it sound like only treatment for areas of navigation and access with the money. Like some will still be able to grow. I will see by replies later how that is going.
Some of the stuff that was getting posted before by members looked like they were spraying everything in other locations.
Was surprised watching the live tournament feeds for tournaments down here. The guys were actually fishing vegetation.
Thought by post on here before there wouldn't be any for them to fish. It was being posted on here one place was a over sprayed mudhole.
But when the pros had their final day on it there was plenty of vegetation.
I wish Walk in water was what it used to be before the hurricanes! Use to enjoy pitching hydrilla out there.

I would like to ask why you believe the absence of hydrilla in Lake Walk in Water was due to the hurricanes.

Because three major hurricanes crossed over the area in one year, ripping up the hydrilla, stimulating the tubers to germinate, having high and dark water where they all died?

Harris Chain is not a mud hole yet...but the way they are irresponsibly spraying EVERYTHING in site without any moderation...it will be that way before too long.

btw...You obviously have an agenda here....all of your posts are defending FWC and the spraying....

Yet you still hide your name to protect your anonymity

Went out there before, then after.
Went out on Lake Peirce before, then after.
Went out on Kissimmee chain before, then after. Those used to be the three main bodies of water I fished on a regular basis, and would hit Tenoroc sometimes. But as time went by I have got to where I fish Tenoroc pits most of the time.

Wish it was like before.

No agenda just providing answers to questions/comments. Why does who I am matter? If I had the same “agenda” as you my identity wouldn’t be in question.

I don't have an agenda...all of my posts are not related to 1 topic...

Yours are...and they are all defending the FWC and the spraying.....

He is a paid mouthpiece for the FWC that propagates untruths to the mass sheep, these lakes that were originally affected by those storms were all crystal clear and great fisheries a year later and up to the time until the onslaught of nuke boats were unleashed on them. Very tired of the people who keep spreading this ongoing excuse that the hurricanes from 15 years ago are why our lakes are a disaster. Let me ask Baitboy on why at the StickMarsh, which was created for the sole purpose to be nothing more than a huge reservoir for filtering the high nutrient water from the orange grooves, before it enters into the headwaters of the St Johns, has been sprayed and nuked into a nasty mudhole void of all vegetation, and continues to be sprayed nonstop when there is nothing left in it to filter out the nutrient in which it was designed for?

[Hez]

No doubt that he is on the side of FWC...it's sickening what they are doing to our waterways. I really don't know how he even sleeps at night....

I as well. Yup Hurricane flipped that lake. Just made it easier for them to keep it at bay with there spray.

Istokpoga. Now a complete mud hole. Brutal.

[JohnM64]

Istokpoga may be the best example of a once great fishery wasted by herbicide spraying. The bottom is layered in decaying vegetation, a semi suspended sludge blanket of anoxic goo.

We have a club tournament on Istokpoga this month. I'm not fishing it, but I'm interested to see how the guys do.

Oh you must be mistaken, our best and brightest biologists have all concluded that our lakes haven't recovered from the hurricanes 15 years ago. Who are you to question them, you're just one of those uneducated redneck fisherman. But I hear you brother, I have seen many lakes that have been and continue to get destroyed by these people, they have no conscience.

BaitFL will be here soon to tell you how wrong you are
