If the bassholes didn't cheat so damn much it wouldn't be an issue in these tourneys. Having key and locking canal behind you, accessing marsh by cutting across shallow areas only to fish behind posted signs, etc. Just have everything not gated open. Some are going to risk it, it's just the culture of the sport.

It's not that simple. Dang near everything that's worth fishing south of I-10 is technically private waters by current Louisiana laws and statutes. Nearly all that are in a boat are trespassers even the manager that runs off trespassers for trespassing. He has to cross someone else's private area to get to his. That's how screwed up it is.
It seems to be getting more and more attention, and it's clear Louisiana is leaving money on the table, at a time when the bread winner in this state (Oil and Gas) is bringing in a fraction of what it was historically...

This goes beyond what we think of some a-hole in a glitter boat doing 70+ mph..

There needs to be a solution...
