Reader Comment: If you build it, they will come.

Many years ago I use to hunt and fish in this area, it was mostly swamp and canals. You needed a small boat because the channel was very shallow then. The mosquito control was the only building on the road, and you seldom saw anyone, it was peaceful. I was surprised to see an actual dock there, because the last time I was there in 1985 there was an old houseboat run aground where the dock is that had been cannibalized. This as I recall made it impossible to launch a boat, so it’s nice to see a small dock there today.

Keep it small, the last thing that area needs are larger high powered boats stirring up the bottom. What has been allowed to happen to the lagoon is criminal. It has been turned into a cesspool when it was once not so long ago thriving with wildlife. Fishing was good, gathering oysters were abundant, plenty of blue crab to be had.

Remember, if you build it they will come.  – Randy Ankney
