I just don't understand what you expect. There are no maps to help people to not trespass. Land owners sure as shite aren't going to give maps. The signs are more or less meaningless because it's impossible to post every entrance to every private duck pond off of every state claimed waterway. Not to mention the landscape has changed so much that you can be in a wide open state claimed water body and drift a few feet to either side and be trespassing. I don't understand WTF you want from people. It is impossible.

The only way to not trespass is to never leave main navigational canals/bayous, or never leave your lease. This is also ignoring the fact that some boat ramps launch directly into private water.

Am I supposed to just sell my skiff and start fishing deeper water? Every single one of the people in this thread has trespassed at some point. Doesn't matter if you meant to do it or not, the law itself makes no distinction between the two.
