It’s not 1812 any more. If you own 100 acres of land, you should be paying taxes on that, not 900 acres of open water that’s adjoining other open water.
Mineral ownership comes into play in S La.

If a private canal is dug across private land to a public “navigable” state owned river, that doesnt give you (the public) the right to enter the private canal. I’m thinking N La application but the same principle would/should apply in S La.

The guy called it a bayou at first then said a trenasse


The only time I heard him say trenasse was in relation to casting his bait into a trenasse.

The duck hunter said there were posted signs so I don’t know


Not to say there aren’t posted signs on 100% public areas

He handled that very well. I would have had a problem keeping my mouth shut.

I wish he would have gotten their boat number and affiliation with the waterway.

Louisiana has sold out and we can do something about it

The problem is that the money it will take to correct this situation, “owns” the water

Your state lawmakers could fix it if they weren’t occupied erecting giant Afro pick memorials.

The state lawmakers who can fix this don't give a shite about some afro pick sculpture.

It is 100% money based.

If it wasn't a navigable water way in 1812


A few more direct hurricane hits and 100 years in the future, a large section of the marsh will be open water and or part of the Gulf. Will it still be private then?
That 1812 shite is archaic and needs to be revised.

A starting point is to review what other coastal states have in place and go from there.
Pretty much that if you’re floating and not on anchor, you’re fine. The bottom can be privately owned, so you can technically be trespassing if you’re anchored. But if you’re drifting or under trolling motor power, you’re perfectly legal…..except in LA

Like the guy in the video said, how we call ourselves "Sportsman's Paradise" while this Law exists is hilarious

Sounds like the land owners wanted to have their cake and eat it too. If they didn't want public use of their land they should have forced the Oil and Gas companies to either close off access from public waterways or filled in the entrances

Of course the land owners wouldn't want this and would rather ease of access to "private waterways" that they got paid to allow access and build pipelines thru, and can now lease for "alot of money" like the hunter in the video says.

(Another thing is I hope our dumb government isn't using tax dollars on repairing these private marshes and waterways)

Important sportsman issue. 67000 views in one day - probably staged.

This is why I don't belong to CCA. They support landowners and refuse to support legislation to make LA like all other states.

A simple fix that would ease the tensions and avoid 90% of these fights would be to change how destroyed wetland is treated. If there's marsh loss, stop taxing people on it and have it revert to the State. Leave canals alone. In that way, the taking aspect of it(see the Catahoula case) isn't as severe and there's less of a chance someone is on private property with almost no way to know.

I like the thought process, but unfortunately marsh loss is the rule, not the exception, about 90% of the marsh is disappearing at some rate. Some areas in Venice and a decent area in the Atchafalaya delta is building, but most of all the other areas are going poof.

The reason for the loss and those responsible will also be a point of extreme conflict.

That's not even getting into marsh and island building through dredging and diversions using public funds/resources.

I hate that it's come to this, because they have actually done good work on some subjects and have been on fisherman's side. They chose this path and are hoping the ground swell stays at a minimal and most don't realize they have turned a cold shoulder. If they would attack this issue (publicly and otherwise) similar to the way they did the Red Snapper issue I believe their membership would spike again. They pay tons of money to lobbyist.
