The risks were accepted because the reward was great at the time. It was near sighted.
The state was part of this goof up years ago and allowed it, and as you said many of those involved are now gone.

So now we are gating off canals in an effort to protect property rights but at what cost? If we continue to gate and post tidal marsh we will shrink the area accessible by the public. Less access turns into less participation, which turns into less licenses being sold, and so on and so fourth.
Problem is the state isn't doing the job of protecting the land owners well enough. Poaching and trespassing is still a huge problem and an even more so when land has water access. The state can't do more to protect land owners from these problems then they already are. There is too much area to cover so the land owners can only do what they can to protect themselves.

Really!!! I have fished "private" canals my entire life. You can't even travel to "public water" without trespassing. I can't stand a thief, vandal, poacher etc. I do not own bolt cutters. But to see places that responsible outdoorsman have fished with their parents and grandparents and now can't take their children is just horrible. I took a trip to lake fork in 2010 with my dad and all I heard from our guide was he would never come back to Louisiana after being run out of a canal that had no gate or posted signs. Maybe the honest fisherman should do a better job of helping wildlife agents. I don't know the solution, I just think it's sad. I fish the lake verret area.. If all the canals like cracker head, the oxy fields become off limits like Curtis breaux has it would be really tragic
