Who has the authority to run someone out of a canal , bayou or any body of water?

Landowner, Sheriff's Dept., and WLF

Do Game Wardens patrol these areas for the land owners or lease holders ?

If there are reports of trespassing, yes.

Do Sherriff Deputies have nothing more important to do with all the crime on the streets ?

Same importance as calling in someone for trespassing on any other piece of property.

I mean who with authority really cares enough to justify their salary that's being paid by taxpayers by the way , to run the same taxpayers out of a fishing hole?

More than that and you either or being obtuse or ignorant to the situation.

Putting gates up involves putting pilings down that requires permits.

I don't think they are driving piles 10ft into the ground, more so about like putting up a gate at a pasture.

So how do you know that a gate on a canal is legal and justified?

Go look up the navigable waterways and verify for yourself if you question it.

There are way more questions out there and way too few answers. At least answers from someone that has the power and authority to justify a legal answer to this issue.

There is plenty of information to look up if it's that big of a concern or question there is law written on the matter and prior cases.
