I would be just as pizzed at the Well Respected Guide as the azzhat in the Earboat.
On the same subject, how much land do you own? Keeping tresspassers off of private property is a daily battle for some. I know firsthand the kind of altercations that insue with tresspassers. If you don't have permission by the land owner,,, stay out, if you can't be sure where you are,,, stay out.
I will try to look up the Louisiana Supreme court decision that established the precedent for this issue. Yakem probably knows it chapter and verse so maybe he will chime in soon.

You can learn a lot from what this gentleman is saying. Hey guys let's all go tresspass!!!!!

Read the posts, I never questioned rather or not the landowner had to post signs or that I may have been tresspassing.

Again, two wrongs do not make a right. If I were guilty and I have no idea if I were or not, he was wrong to react the way that he did.

All i have to say is that i have a clue what spot this is and that either the land owner put up signs or this will not be the last incident. There is no way just by sight to know where his land is or not so unless there is signs this will continue and someone is going to get hurt.

Personally i would like to see if that would happen to a couple of guys without kids.

You're right, it won't be the last incident until the levee is finished. Then, there will be no more confusion. And, NO, he DOES NOT have to put up a sign. Read the law moron. Sounds like you are the IDIOT now.

If I had to Guess it was Curt Marcantel ,he has a history of stupidity when it comes to his unmarked lines. I've heard several horror stories just like this that involved him. As the saying goes money is power. Hopefullly he will get stopped before any serious incidents happen.

I say we all go fish there at the same time . Then let Mr Butthead try his scare tactics on a few boatloads of men . I would love to see the look on his fat face then.

My boat is in Hackberry (with my GPS) and I can't tell from Google maps exactly where the spot is but I can tell you that if you enter Black Lake from the salt ditch you will come in on the south east side of the lake. If you go through the first pipe opening heading north and stay on a west north westerly course you will end up at the edge of the marsh at the end of the lake on the north western side. There is a small canal that runs through the marsh near the area I was fishing. The spot is farily well known as on weekends there are usually a couple of boats in the area. Right now there is a large piece of equipment that appears to be dredging the canal near the area I was fishing.

This area could very well be private property as it is not marked. There is still at least 1000 yards of water between where I was fishing and the actual shore.

Agreed, my goal is not to start an internet fight which is always pointless. My goal was to see if there is intrest in starting a battle to change the law and to let other anglers know about what this guy did so they are prepared for it if and when he goes after them if they make the same alleged mistake.

2 wrongs don't make a right. This guy does this to everyone!!! No matter where you are from or who is in the boat. He can be a real pri%k. What he did to you was mean and dangerous. I was only stating about the laws and land owners. BD

I appreciate your response. I respect the fact that we are both on opposite sides of the debate on this issue. I do not see the law changing anytime soon if ever so my efforts may be wasted but I would like to do what I can.

Not much I can say about the guy that did this, sounds like a pattern for him.

[Kenner18]

I don't know of anyone who actually likes Curt or his ways .If there is it must only be his mom . Like I said before he has arecord of this type of actions ,and even though it may be his property there is a more civil way to handle the matter. Hopefully he will get his levee rebuilt ,{which I believe the goverment is paying for} before someone gets hurt .

Camera cell phones my help. Take a picture of the boat approaching, stopped, gun displayed, occupants and boat numbers. Then speed dial the proper authorities and be sure and bring them the pictures.

Levee being built maybe part of the dredging spoil contract he has.
