I grew up fishing in Grand Isle and only started fishing biglake three years ago. When my family and I decided to to buy land in the BigLake area I started booking trips with guides to learn the area. In a two year period I spent over 10K, I was serioius about learning how to fish the area and I still am.
A guide took me and my family to a spot on black lake that was very productive and he told me to go back to the spot anytime unless he was already there with a customer. I started fishing this spot off and on probably at least once a month. About a year and half ago I went back to this spot and a man on an airboat flew up to our boat nearly full throttle and almost knocked my then 3 year old and 6 year old boys in the water, my wife was terrified. The airboat had three grown men and I am sure all three were packing heat. They ordered me off of their land immediately and ran circles around my boat. I gladly moved, I had no idea I was on his land, the area I was in was a hugeseveral hundred yards flat.

Louisiana is one of if not the only state in country to have this law and no I do not agree with it. That being said, some people make honest mistakes and acting like a fool on the water being a tough guy v/s someone and their children is not the right way to do things.

Also fool I mean no disrespect to you but you need to be careful how you talk to people. While you may be a great fishermen and are well liked here, the fact is you are still a kid. You need to learn about treating people how you want to be treated and telling someone to "GTFO" would not be the way I would handle things especially when dealing with grown men and perhaps their family.

Before any of you start, I own a camp on a private canal, and various tracks of land and homes from Houston to Denham Springs. I do not care if someone fishing’s in "my" canal and if someone were on my land I would nicely ask them to leave. If they refused, then I would deal with it.
Heavens no I don't open up and say that lol. I'm good. Get cocky and don't listen, we will bring law in. Usually let my neighbor handle the dirty work. I'm a firm believer in treat others how you want to be treated. I've been screwed over quiet a bit in private marshes and don't plan to let up on anyone. I have a duck boat and a river boat on ramps locked up on my canal the last thing I want is some one back there messing with them.
