re: Why can’t Louisiana have a real saltwater fishing pier?

Spot on. The people in this state can take something nice and trash it virtually overnight. I expect the Bridgeside pier to go to shite quickly. We were fueling up Wednesday and some methed out chick comes down by the fuel pumps dragging a bloody shark on a gaff yelling at everyone “who wants a shark?” That might create a picture of the types fishing out there. I’m waiting for my stuff to start walking off, sure wish they had rebuilt the other side.
