10/4 on that one, aint worth the hassle, just buy it....If you cant afford it ill give you the 5.50...good lawd cletus..its LOUISIANA...be lucky your not an OUT OF TOWNER....buy it.:shaking:

LOL it's not for me, I have in laws in from out of state, fresh water out of state is $5 PER Day, saltwater is $17.50 PER Day. I plan on only fishing Prien, therefore, did want to have to spend the extra $17.50 if I did not have too. Just found out fresh water is good to LNG.

I though it was I-10.. i'd call on that one bud. Been checked a many of times in prien and they ask for your Saltwater license.. i'd call

In the book it says the intercoastal is the line.

Louisiana Saltwater Line Definition

The areas south of the above described line, plus the saltwater lakes known as Lake Maurepas, Lake Pontchartrain, Lake St. Catherine, Chef Menteur Pass (except that seven- tenths of a mile section from Bayou Sauvage south to the Intracoastal Waterway), the Rigolets, Unknown Pass, Pass Manchac, Intracoastal, and that portion of the Calcasieu Ship Channel from the Intracoastal Waterway south to the Gulf of Mexico, shall be designated as saltwater areas.

Persons fishing and/or possessing saltwater fish in these areas are required to have in addition to the basic fishing license a saltwater fishing license.

So you cant keep a red if you catch it above the line and don't have saltwater license???

You can keep a Red anywhere inside 3 miles from offshore.
Inland, state waters only.

After Rita, Bass fishermen were catching Reds where they were never found before.
Pushed them all over the fresh water marshes.

Sure.........If you don't get caught;)
Just joking, but I bet it would have to have a SW license to put it in the boat weather youre above the line or not. It's all in the G.W.!!!!
