I talked to Kent last time I was there and he told me they were getting sick and tired of the way people acted, not paying the launch fee coping an attitude about paying etc. blocking up the parking lot. They own the place and what will they be out of if they do this? Not much and certainly what they make off of allowing he public to launch there isn't worth the hassle. I don't blame them. I mean they maintain the fish cleaning area provide a public restroom and have a decent launch. People have a problem paying $5/$10 for all that?
Isn't a public boat launch in the works for Leeville? Boudreax's is much more convenient for me and I'll continue to launch there no matter what but I stay there regularly and I've known the owners since I was a kid. It's a shame it's come to is though. I'm sure it'll hurt Terry's business.
