Gating canals in houma area

There are a lot of gated canals in the spillway. I guess no different than high fence for deer

Insert navigable water rule.... Which I Support.

I heard this as well - I actually have a lease in the area ...!" Recently there's been a lot of arguing between the bass fisherman and the land owners - basically they were giving them the canals and the bass fisherman kept insisting on going in the marsh - now they won't have anything

All the canals I fished as a kid in larose are now gated off. If this happens in Houma it will suck. But ppl need to stay out of the marsh during duck season. That's common sense

This is why I carry bolt cutters.

Agree. It's only going to take someone deciding to do it. Louisiana law today allows it, it's just a matter of if the law is enforced.

Never underestimate the level of knucklehead in people. This is usually what pushes the "landowner" to enforce the law on the books.

Dude, normally I would agree and fully support land owners rights to gate off whatever they own. The problem is damage that is being done to the marsh is a far bigger problem than the duck dynasty crowd can handle on their own. ZERO tax dollars are being spent to stop erosion and restore my property that is being lost to the amite river. However, hundreds of millions of dollars of tax payer money is spent every single year to help stop land loss in the marsh. If I'm paying for it, I'm using it. I don't really give a shite about your duck lease.

Another thing, go run around PAC and have a look at the fricking trash and destroyed marsh grass from duck hunters. Big pieces of lumber floating around, ice bags everywhere, mud holes that use to be marsh grass from people pulling the bro drives up on the land. It seems like this year is much much worse than it was last year because of the high water. It's a racket. I mean, why do we even bother?

I vote we let that shite erode. I'll go redfishing in Donaldsonville.


Stay out of the marsh during duck season, frick you. That is the attitude that got us in this mess in the first place. Duck hunters in Louisiana are like the Westboro baptist Church of the hunting world.

frick you


Don't lump all duck hunters in with the bad apples that will be over it in a couple years when something else becomes popular.


Trespassers are scum

Thinks people who shoot nuisance wild dogs on their own private property are classless, but will cut locks and trespass on others property to fish. Noted.

The unique law that is considering this to be trespassing is logic challenged. No other state in the union has such a thing, it's dumb and self serving.
