Poly Isle Fish Weir?

asago · 11-16-2008, 07:46 PM

I have been reading on this board in the older posts about fish coming into the canals. I also saw in another post as I was reading this board that there is a fish weir in Poly Isle (that might be removed) that prevents them from coming in. As a future resident there I am wondering if anyone can confirm this? Sure would be nice to wet a line from the dock....

Thanks,
Aaron

if there was one there, it was removed years ago.... lots of trout and rat reds in poly isles in the winter.

What's the most interesting catch you've seen in the canals?

John B. · 11-16-2008, 09:24 PM

2lb lizardfish.

I built that weir probably 20+ yrs ago under contract with th the developer... Never quite understood it's purpose except for the state to punish the developers...

we have been waiting forwever to get part of the weir removed. we are closer ??a couple of weeks and hopefully will get some flush in here.In my canal, we have NO FISH. Maybe that will change with more water moving thru.

I will TOTALLY help you push that cause... is it an HOA thing? Is there anything I can do to help the removal project along?

we used to have a lot of good sized mullet, until a commercial fisherman came in and dredged every canal for 3 years of just about anything that was swimming.

My canal has a lot of bait fish, and a pretty good blue crab population, small shrimp and a lot of oysters on the docks and seewalls.

I caught a 5lbs Flounder off of the old bridge about 10 years ago using a rattle trap.

The wier should be completely gone by the end of November, join the HOA www.polyisles.org it is only $35 a year and gets you the combination to the private boat ramp, some great barbecues and picnics and email updates.
