We need to organize a Bumblebee Bayou fishing tournament. Every year during duck season.

As the badass in the boat said: Make an example out of the situation

Not exactly. Just like beer. You can't really buy it, you can only rent it.

Bump

Todd posted a video of St Tammany Deputies talking to him when he was fishing residential canals about this incident.
They were very professional but no one seems to know or do anything about this situation.

It's not as complicated as they're trying to make it. The various LE guys involved are politicians first, and LE officers second. They are making it sound opaque so they can figure out which side of the issue to come down on politically.

Todd is absolutely correct. An 8 foot deep bayou is navigable and public.

I hope I’m never retarded enough to have to run someone off my ringneck lease.

I do not see why this argument is any different than the public resources on private land.

maybe, maybe not. depends on how you define bayou. a naturally occurring waterway is public from bank to bank and water surface to stream bed. if it cuts thru private property you cannot touch the bank or the bed without trespassing. a canal on private property however is man made, by lowering the elevation of that private property. that it fills up with water is irrelevant. just because it is navigable does not mean the landowner cannot restrict the use of it.

of course, this has been a topic of dispute for generations in LA, especially since there are so many man made canals that connect to natural waterways AND formerly dry land now inundated. i would suspect that if anyone here were a landowner with a canal running into or thru that land, and had a mind to not have that canal free to use by the public, they would feel differently about unrestricted access to navigable waterways

the "public" does not "own" the water. neither does the landowner

water is the only compound we are aware of that naturally exists in all three phases (gas, solid, liquid). It cannot be owned

when the water in your pond evaporates, do you then own the clouds?

In my opinion, if the land is eroded, the owner would not owe taxes on that which is now water. If that land is restored, the owner would have to reclaim that from the state and return to paying taxes on that land. This would force the state to actually invest in protecting and restoring the marsh land. They could also put stiffer penalties onbb no the oil and gas industries that dug the pipeline canals which help erode the marsh. You cannot own the water if it’s navigable. That being said, fishermen and hunters need to show each other mutual respect on the water. You don’t see much of that anymore even between fisherman-fishermen and Hunter-hunter.

So then it should all be public by that definition. if you can access it then it is public
