I'm new to fishing the area as I have been fishing V-Bay and Calcasieu for the past 25 years or so. Have to say that so far I've found the fisherman on the water have been much more civil and respectful in that area so far. Have not had anyone rudely encroach on my spot when I'm catching. Had someone actually ask if it was ok to move in closer to where I was achored the last trip. He did so with the troll motor and a stick anchor without disrupting the bite. The boat launch etiquette although is challenging and takes some patience to deal with.
