Obstruction behind Grand Bayou Weirs

[Ray]

The fence in the canal between Grand and Lambert Bayous has one bumper missing and the other one is broke, but sticking out into the boat passage area.
We passed thru and didn't notice the bumper hanging off under the water. On the way back, we could see it sticking out into the gate area. The water was moving towards Grand Bayou and the bumper was sticking out in a way that we couldn't get thru unless we pushed it back towards the fence.
If you go thru heading towards Lambert Bayou, the boat will push it out the way. If you go the other way, it can stick into your boat. It is like a one way check valve.
We used a crabbing net to push it out the way, but if you are not careful, the current can push you into the other side, where there is no bumper.
