I’ll just pay my guide and hope he knows. I’ll stick to north la for Crappie and bass. I know what’s legal and not up here.

This bill did nothing but start a fight.



While it did cause some to get pissy, it did more. It shed a bigger light on the problem outside of a TD outdoors board.

I was at the capitol but had to leave for fatherly duties and listened live via phone. The people I spoke to in support of the bill realized it had a slim chance due to lobbyist being brought in to swing votes this past week. However, they all agree this is just the beginning of the fight and other things are already in the works.

1. The public has been fishing these waters for years and they still do. Most of the time people fish and landowners ask them to please leave and they do. The dance is not the biggest issue in the world. This problem was brought to a head when Daryl carpenter was run out of a place three times in a row and then filed a law suit against the landowner (land is a geographical boundary in the marsh not dictated by whether it is currently water or earth). Daryl lost the law suit and got mad and started a Facebook group to try and get a law put in place so he could fish wherever he wanted.

2. The idea for paying to rehab the coast is multifaceted. Hurricane protection is one issue. You also don’t want the marsh to erode all the way to Leeville or HOUMA. The state is also partially responsible (a recent study said up to 75% responsible) for the erosion by the way they leveed and dammed all of the rivers and bayous. This is a way to make that up.

3. The biggest problem that is going to come from this is further restricted access. There was an inclusion of a deadline within which to have a gate built. I am sure all landowners are now worried that if this comes again, which has already been stated in this thread, that they need to build gates now just in case.

If I were an entrepreneur I would start a canal gate building company.

Overall it was a good day for people who care about private property rights.

I think if they would just stay out of the marsh, all would have been fine.....but some good ole baws just have to go into the marsh and duck ponds, that's what will kill this bill

The landowners be like, apparently we do own the water. Now all y’all commoners go back to enjoying the scraps from the tables of your lords.

Why worry about a duck pond during the months that you’re not duck hunting ....

Why worry about a golf course when you’re not golfing? Or a football field during baseball season??



The guys in surface drives jumping marsh land and posting it on instagram a great reason to worry about it. Yeah that’d be currently illegal as well but you can’t catch everyone all the time. Hence owners being precautionary and blocking access

Oh I don't know, maybe because they want to keep natural vegetation from being destroyed. Why worry about a deer food plot when you're not in the deer stand? Why worry about those crops you planted if it isn't harvest time? Can I borrow your wife/girlfriend when you aren't around too?

Surface drives and airboats tearing up and mashing way more habitat that someone can run over in a bass boat...

Daryl didn't start the FB page and the lawsuit was filed well after well after it was started.
On top of that the lawsuit had very little to do with gaing access

If you are implying that more gates will be put up then that will do more for the cause than you realize.

I can’t wait until deer season comes so we can start discussing the ethics of running dogs.

Good news
I agree it is good news in that we voters know the stance of all those that voted today. I rather know my enemy than think they are my friend. In campaigns it is easy to lie and ride a fence, today they showed to whom their allegiance is with.

Fricking great for you, but I have to spend my 12 weeks of vacation welding pipe this summer blocking access to little inner city ghetto children trying to cheat in bass tourney.

You sound like a trespasser so I am going to take all of the stuff you just said with a grain of salt.

And I bet that the gate situation is about to go crazy. And the worst part is it’s totally legal. Shouldn’t have kicked the hornets nest.

I've been in my boat and accused of trespassing by someone who trespassed to come tell me I was trespassing...

The irony of that actually made me laugh.
