most other parishes lease out their school board lands.. some parishes make a kings ransom

Honey Brake paid a pretty penny for the SB land next to delta.

So if I'm fishing Port Eades I now have to pay $250 or face a ticket? Port Eades is owned by the Parish.

Liability waivers help with everyday incidents as they show that you were informed that you were embarking on a situation where injury could occur. However, specifically in Louisiana you cannot sign away gross negligence. Aside from that La. Civil code already provides a limit of liability for recreational activities.

And on top of that political subdivisions are mostly shielded from having to pay settlements resulting from civil suits as an example the flood suits from 2009 in EBR and Livingston, the Fire Department pension suits in Orleans and the examples go on and on.

This is simply PP's way of saying we don't want you here.

This just does not seem smart on an economical level. Think of all the money they may lose from people not hunting or fishing down there as much as they have in the pass. I personally think this has nothing to do with liability, access, or mud motors. instead, I think it's just another way politicians and greedy government members can make more money. Honestly, do you think they actually care about people' hunting rights and access as long as they are getting paid. Its all about the money.

As far as mud motors DESTROYING the marsh, that's a pile of BS. If that's the case, the explain why both the Atchafalaya River delta and the Mississippi River delta have grown tremendously?

Seriously? There isn’t any money to be made with what they want to charge for the tresspass fee. Never been down here but if the hunting is that good, they should lease out the 23 sections that would make up the 15k acres and charge what the people would pay. Primo marsh blinds are going for $8-$10k per in cameron parish so fitting 4 per section would be in the $30k range x 23=$690,000/yr. That would make it worth stealing, I mean collecting.
