The leasee's are getting out of hand. Some hold guns drawn making their point. That's not being law biding person, one of my Bass Club members said one person pointed a gun at him until he left the Orange Groove area. But yet they are using their mud boats to run down Coots and shoot them out of a moving boat. No wonder they are running the law biding fishermen out the area so they can conduct their unlawful activities.

The law allowing land owners to block off canals need to be changed to preserve areas of our children and Grandchildren to fish.

If its private water the landowner should be required to keep the publics fish from entering it.

All canals that are managed by WLF or go in and out with tide should allow fishing access to all!

If it can be accessed from public water and holds public water it is public. No man/company has the right to block access to a body of water that comes from a public lake, river or bayou. These laws are absurd!

It is absurd for the landowners to claim ownership of tidal/navigable waterways and also the water, fish, and other critters who are present at any given time.

I used to fish and hunt in the Cheramie area and i know some canals are private but a lot of these are natural waterways and should not be shut off to fishing.

Landowners do not own the air that I breathe, nor do they own navigable waterways.

All public access waterways should remain open to the public, from the gulf to all the streams and bayous.

More and more waterways are being restricted to recreational fishermen. Before long if we allow this to continue, there won't be any fishable waterways. Help us maintain our waterways so our children have a future to fish.
