re: BASS Makes Louisiana "Off Limits"

I wish that was true.... but they sure do gate off the tidal waters

Yes gates, cables, floating barrels, fencing, etc.

I agree with you 100%

It's not my fault you favor trespassing and the taking of property.

Why do you say this? I only correct people who do not understand the law in this area. I also point out the inconsistency in their positions caused by their desire to fish. There's nothing even close to trolling. Dock gets it-he just doesn't agree with me. Can you explain where the troll comment comes from?

Edit to add reference.

You could order the best T-bone steak ever known to man, but if the waiter walks up with the steak in his hands slaps you in the face with it and walks off, it's likely you'll not like said steak....
Delivery...

The position you take is that condecnding royal Dick whenever this subject comes up. It's like a personal vendetta for you or something.

I think a lot of the people understand the law, but don't agree. It's fricking infuriating when I go fish all across the gulf coast and never have a problem except in this third world country of a state.

Louisiana had a chance to get it right after Phillips petroleum vs Mississippi in 1988, but chose to cave in to big money lobbying and frick the sportsmen of this state. Man made canals and access to those are one thing, but natural tidal waterways,bays and lakes that allowed to be claimed private is ridiculous.

I don't think nobody's advocating trasspassing or the taking of land. I just would like some clarity on the issues and not so much gray. The only decent outcome of this is both side find some middle ground on the isssue.

It's ridiculous that A man has to do a weeks worth of researching just to be able to know where I can and can't be just to go fishing for a day.

It seems everybody understands the law but doesn't agree to it, but it's still the law. Why is this even an argument? In the state of LA, You don't have to have a No trespassing sign up, fisherman are "supposed" to be responsible enough to know where they can fish and where they can't. Are there people claiming land is theirs when it's not, sure, but there is also people who pay for land and fisherman Claim it's public land Just because it's tidal. It all boils down to people wanting to fish on other people's property. Don't argue with me, argue with Louisiana legislature.

Explain "natural waterways". Who is supposed to determine that anyways? Like it's been previously stated, it always falls on local law enforcement and they usually side with landowners most all of the time.

"There is also people who pay for land and fisherman Claim it's public land Just because it's tidal."

Part of the issue poly...landowners claiming ownership to tidal waters in the context of well in ebb and flows on my land. BS...land owners (including myself) do not own tidal waters and shold not privitize as such
