All the court interpretations I have read state that if a water way is subject to the ebb and flow of the tide and a boat can travel that water, that water is navigable, and is public, BUT if you stop and anchor you MAY become susceptible to trespassing laws depending on how deep the water may be at the time.
that was marcentel (sp?) hes done that to quite a few people, you could actually drift into his marsh when the levee was broke..now there is a nice big ol'levee
