Why can’t Louisiana have a real saltwater fishing pier?

You go to Florida and they have concrete (like an interstate overpass) fishing piers all over for the public.
I know they have tourism money and they have the beaches and water vs our marshlands, but how great would a fishing pier be in the Leeville-Grand Isle area?
I’m talking one like a roadway. Concrete that can survive a hurricane. Louisiana has unbelievable fishing, but you must have a boat. And fishing on the side of the road isn’t exactly safe and comfortable.
Why can’t Louisiana provide better access to our wonderful fishing?

There's a concrete one in Slidell.
It used to be I-10.

Is there not one still at the bridge in Grand Isle?

Even Bay St. Louis, Gulfport Biloxi has piers

Every time I go to Grand Isle LA 1 looks like one

The piers in Slidell and Mandeville are a joke. Email the parish, they've been waiting for fema funds that were delivered years ago.
Sportsman's paradise is a joke.

I can only imagine the bitching if they charged for access to a pier in LA, like they do in FL
. Also, you're not catching anything different 100 yards off the shore in LA than you are from the side of the road. Not really comparable.

90% of ours get destroyed every time a hurricane comes through. Then they sit, looking like hell, for the next 3-4 years. We've also got a hell of a lot more "beach front" that makes sense for public fishing piers.

Go to any public fishing spot in LA and you’ll see why. People in this state are so damn trashy.

Fishing Pier?? We can't even get boat launches. We have a fish hatchery they spent tons on and it is now idle. LDWF needs major changes, maybe an elected director, I don't know what is worse.

because people are inconsiderate assholes who cant get along with others or share.
thats why you buy a boat, so you dont have to fight people just so your kids can try to catch a fish

Like a few people have said it would be full of trash within a month. Amazing how people in this state just throw trash wherever they want.

Because Louisiana is a shite state run by corrupt political grifters that worry more about lining their pockets than investing in the state to make it more attractive and enjoyable to residents and tourists alike

Grand Isle's is back up.
Posted on 7/25/23 at 11:42 am to 3BlockUber
Why? Every fkn coonass has at least tree boats in their front yard.

Dude, you can pick a spot on the side of the road anywhere from Fourchon to Grand Isle and mop up on quality fish all fall & winter long. You can bounce from spot to spot, and find different water clarity, depths, bait, and types of fish. Then you have Elmers and GI beaches that are absolutely loaded with fish during the warm months. Its seriously *that* easy.
Gotta get out of that "boat or bust" mindset and look in to this type of fishing. A fishing pier is junk compared to these options IMO.

Because we don't have many beach swimmers to chum sharks around.

Louisiana does not have much shoreline with depths that drop off as quickly as other gulf coast states. It would be impractical to have piers that simply go out into shallow water and marshland.
