Its illegal, the landowner has every right to keep people off his property (yes you can own water in Louisiana) Do you really think you have a right to go and fish in someone's backyard if their home floods? Its navigable. Do you think that when the MS River floods you should be able to go and duck hunt in the flooded timber on someone else's property?

this may need a thread on its own, even though its been beat to death


Keep up the good fight with the other issues though, this one shouldn't be on the list though

Well ur full of $heet!! There are many waterways that were never once land. And if ur gonna ban the public from it, then u best find a way to also keep the publics resource out of it as well!!!

The issue ol boy was referring to is the issue in SE Louisiana where landowners are losing their land fast. Its the reason CCA and LaSportsman broke ties with one another. The fishermen think they should be able to fish on private property because its navigable water. Its still private property and if you owned that land (now covered with water) you would likely not want folks on it either. Its a tired old story really.
