00:00 - 00:03 | The last workshop for the SPI 2nd Causeway Access Project Is complete. |
00:04 - 00:05 | There are two proposals on the table. |
00:05 - 00:07 | One, to expand the original causeway into 3 lanes. |
00:08 - 00:12 | Two, to build a second causeway between Holly Beach and the Grassy Bank between SPI access 5 and 6. |
00:12 - 00:15 | tearing through the sensitive ecosystem of the Luguna Madre. |
00:17 - 00:19 | They surely will go with the 3 lane expansion |
00:19 - 00:21 | to the original causeway idea, it makes perfect sense. |
00:24 - 00:26 | Mein Fuhrer. |
00:27 - 00:28 | The board has meet and approved.... |
00:31 - 00:33 | The board has approved the 2nd causeway access project. |
00:34 - 00:36 | The project will begin immediately. |
00:53 - 00:58 | If you are not a serious, die hard wade fisherman, please leave the room now. |
01:13 - 01:15 | I knew this would freakin happen!! |
01:15 - 01:17 | Now, they'll close down Holly Beach for good!! |
01:18 - 01:23 | And the Grassy Bank between access 5 and 6....that soft sand entrance was finally becoming passable! |
01:25 - 01:28 | We were just getting to know that spot! And now... |
01:29 - 01:31 | ....now they're going to dredge the crap out of it! |
01:31 - 01:34 | They are taking away all the good wading spots everywhere! |
01:34 - 01:37 | You know what will happen?! Holly Beach and north access 5 will both be overrun by jet skiers, parasailers |
01:37 - 01:40 | and kitesurfers! And don't forget those nudists! |
01:40 - 01:42 | Mein Fuhrer, there is evidence the 2nd causeway will ease the flow of traffic to SPI |
01:42 - 01:46 | Traffic! All our fishing sites will be overrun by more weekend warrior fisherman! And water sporting events everywhere! |
01:46 - 01:48 | Sir, SPI real estate development and tax revenue will only increase |
01:48 - 01:52 | You imbecile! More development means more noisy crowds on the north east flats |
01:53 - 01:54 | More Spring Breakers, Vacationers! |
01:56 - 01:57 | Those are prime topwater fishing sites, both places!! |
01:57 - 02:00 | The recently discovered Grassy Bank between access 5 and 6... |
02:00 - 02:03 | we were landing red and trout in there big time in February and March this year! |
02:04 - 02:08 | I was killin it there in March during freakin Spring Break!! Topwater smashes on every cast!! |
02:08 - 02:13 | Size and numbers to boot! I will not go back to the old high school spot |
02:14 - 02:16 | or Whataburger spot to fish side by side with those damn mullet chunkers! |
02:17 - 02:21 | Or fish with that pole holding, bait bucket sitting Stalin! |
02:27 - 02:29 | There's that trailer park, but.... |
02:30 - 02:34 | that place just doesn't hold quality, just nursery trout, not my thing. |
02:34 - 02:36 | I love holly beach and Access 5! Topwater heaven! |
02:41 - 02:42 | 2nd Causeway |
02:43 - 02:47 | Do I have to become an environmental terrorist to stop this project? |
02:48 - 02:53 | Do I have to suck up to those hated PETA fish lover environmentalists to get them to come down and protest? |
02:54 - 02:56 | I still haven't gotten over their "Fish Feel Pain-Hooks Hurt campaign! |
02:56 - 02:59 | Kayaking to the LV bar will be nearly impossible! |
03:00 - 03:02 | Airport Cove will be cut off too! I've caught 30 inch plus sow trout in there! |
03:04 - 03:07 | Its ok, we can still fish the IBC bank and Pirates Landing fishing pier. |
03:14 - 03:16 | All wade fishing spots gone. |
03:19 - 03:23 | We were pushed out of Port Mansfield years ago because of overcrowding. |
03:25 - 03:26 | And South Bay? |
03:31 - 03:33 | South Bay, well...there's the SpaceX Launchpad site. |
03:40 - 03:46 | How the hell are we suppose to get into there now? Boca Chica will be off limits. |
03:46 - 03:49 | There will be lots of visible no trespassing and no wade fishing signs. |
03:53 - 03:56 | There's always San Martin Lake. |
