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

It would make a great YouTube channel.

If the fishing was good on a pier there would be non stop fights in Louisiana. Pier rats are no joke and you are talking some of the worst people that fish on them because that’s their only option.

Ya’ll talk shite about people stabbing tires at boat ramps and fighting in Venice bars, a south Louisiana fishing pier would be incredible to just go with a cooler of beer and watch some arse whoopins.

Hell that is reason enough to build one, let people fish for free but charge for watching the fights!

It happens on Florida piers. I have seen folks try to push other folks over the side from Jacksonville to Pensacola over the years. Usually someone bait fishing on a fish finder rig on bottom and someone tossing lures at jacks and kingfish. When the inevitable tangle happens tempers flare and violence often ensues. Some piers painted spots during COVID to maintain social distancing and those spots are now considered personal property by many people.
