Doesn't matter. They would still own the water bottom if I'm not mistaken.

If a lake or pond is on private land, it is open water. Does that mean the landowner doesn't own it?

There is no law that says 3' of water is public land. The law is navigable waters. I know for a fact that a lot of Marcantels land could classify as "navigable waters" (I've worked back there), but I'm not going to take that to a court, because he owns that land.

Now beyond that levee, I don't know. I don't know where the property line ends. Who built that levee? I'm almost certain that is on Marcantel's land.
