There really needs to be federal involvement in this or a federal lawsuit suing everyone involved in this bullshite. Louisiana has clearly fricked up 225 years of established law if thy are saying navigable waterways are property of the government, like these two bozos. Please watch this video first before blasting me. I know Todd knows his shite but still be treated like a criminal.
If you don’t know what navigable waterways are public, you can’t fish anywhere.I agree with him 100% Louisiana can’t be sportsman paradise with this crap going on. The legislature needs to quit sucking every dick that the oil companies whip out every time.

Sportsman paradise days are gone and it isn't because of private land ownership. Also in our state the law states it is the responsibility of the individual to know whether they are trespassing, not on the landowner to spend money maintaining signs, fence, etc.

How’s the hangover this morning?

I agree with you but it's never going to happen. The entire state government is built around protecting and benefitting the O&G industry. Most voters are too stupid to do anything collectively about it though.

Where is bumblebee bayou?

This. It is supposedly somewhere on the Northshore but I have never heard the name.

There’s a follow up video posted on his YouTube channel with him speaking to the sheriff’s office. It was handled amicably by both sides.
I’m in agreement with Todd that navigable water is not private property.

The duck hunter guy was a dick, but he’s probably right as far as how the law is written. Hopefully Todd’s situation just shines a big enough spotlight on the issue to get the law changed

this is why in 2018 BASS stopped having tournaments in Louisiana...

The biggest casualty has been Bass Anglers Sportsman Society (BASS), the major leagues of professional fishing and the world’s largest fishing organization, which announced it will no longer hold Bassmaster tournaments in coastal Louisiana, blaming the crazy-quilt patchwork of fishable or banned water, as well as the difficulty of determining which is which.

Todd is using this for clicks, if he covered it for as long as he said he has along with doing his research, he would know his argument is full of shite in the state of Louisiana. He isn't citing any law or anything just doing what most do "it was 8 ft deep so it's navigable". Yes you can float a boat in it, but that doesn't make it public in the eyes of the law.
He is spreading misinformation and is unprofessional in doing this without the proper information for those he's trying to inform.

If it was navigable in 1812 when La became a state, it’s public. Good luck finding a map of everything that was navigable back then though. Just because it’s navigable today doesn’t mean squat.

I don’t have a dog in the fight on this, but this whole scenario looks staged as frick.
Someone believes you’re trespassing on their land and they just call the sheriff and leave letting you continue to trespass.
Then he’s fishing in a totally different area (I think from what he said, I’m not familiar with the area) and the sheriff’s office confronts him and neither state any kinds of law. Seems like it should be pretty cut and dry in the eyes of the law, either he was trespassing or he wasn’t.
Im calling bullshite on this entire ordeal and this is the journalists way of trying to sway the eyes of the public opinion in the way he believes.

Maybe he’s warning people that would like to come to LA to fish.
If there is no way to determine public vs private, how is that a disservice?
I know I’d have reservations about coming to fish in LA if I’m fishing somewhere that looks to be public only to not be and potentially facing a trespassing charge.

Maybe he's full of shite because he wrote for The Louisiana Sportsman and they wrote an article in 2016 about this and linked it to maps.

Dude knows what he's doing. The links have since been broken to the maps, but it was done 8 years ago.

You’re not going to get charged with trespassing, unless you are on private property and act like Todd did.

First, Todd is an arrogant POS, who thinks he can do anything he wants because he is sometimes mentioned in a Sportsman's magazine. He certainly fits the old saying that if you can buy him for what he is worth and sell him for what he thinks he is worth, you could make a moderate fortune.
Second, what Todd or anyone else believes is navigable waterways is immaterial. Louisiana Rev. Stat. and numerous case precedents define what a navigable waterway is. I do not agree with it, but it is the law/.
Third, I am amazed that on this thread and others, how these heavy starch red shirt wearing, CCA loyalist, with their girly shoes and belts, and too short, shorts, complain about public access to certain waterways. Your beloved, CCA refuses to get involved in this issue that fits squarely within it's admitted Mission Statement, This Texas entity (CCA of Louisiana) is owned by five wealthy landowners from out of state, so CCA stands out of what should be its core battle. Hence only 1 of 7 license fishermen actually enter the STAR tourney.
Fourth, if you want to change the laws, start paying attention to the persons you vote far. Join groups that actually help fisherman/women gain access and voice your opinions to candidates running for officer and follow their voting records.

It's a shame this isn't more widely known. Lots of outrage out there over something that's poorly understood.

There's companies like OnX and Strikelines that do mapping just like this, is there a reason it hasn't been done for Louisiana?

Aw shite, I thought I was the only one who thought this - good to know that not everyone here is a loud mouth frat boy. We laugh at these pretty tourist mofos when they come to the Marsh.

So does the duck hunter own both pieces of land that border the water, which supposedly gives him ownership to the water?
