I've also been to a number of lakes in southern states that required paying an additional fee to put a boat in the water (usually $4-$10 each day).
I've never seen or heard of a governmental entity in Louisiana charging a fee to access the water, though private ramps (like Hebert's and Spicer's) reasonably do charge a fee. A number of places in Florida do have access fees for public waters, with the fee scale depending on one's residency status.

So? What does that have to do with the reciprocity of non resident fishing licenses between tx&la. Tx don't charge out of staters anything extra to launch. Just buy a license and go fishing...just like la does. I'm not connecting the dots
