Yes.

And the thing is gate or no gate, sign or no sign, you are a trespasser. I have absolutely no way to determine a number, but based on what I see and have seen, my guess is 50 % of the time you fish coastal Louisiana you trespass, knowingly or unknowingly.

I rarely fish coastal waterways, and I can see that it would suck, but I just cant get past the fact that folks already know that access could be limited at any time.

Seems that the time to get angry about it was a long time ago, the hay is in the barn on this one or so it seems.

Depends on where you fish. Delacroix would be 100% and the golden meadow public launch would be 100%.

Basically you can only fish navigational canals unless you are on a WMA or similar.

Less than 1/5 of the marsh is accessible by the people who pay to protect it. Personally I think it might be closer to 10% but whatever.

I've always thought it would be reasonable to require privately owned Marsh to be posted in order for trespassing to apply. I know signage or fencing is no longer required by law. But Upland or woods are usually easy to figure out; I own from this road to that highway or that power line or whatever. But the lack of features in the Marsh makes it practically impossible to determine property lines.
