So I just heard about how the gov. shutdown is closing all federal waters. So where can I fish, and where cant I fish? I'm fishing Manchac the next 2 Saturdays.

Not just Federal waters, any Federal National Wildlife Reserve. I can't Bow hunt where I wanted to until the Gov't shutdown is over.

So we all need to be looking around across America! Every shutdown , government training area etc always tells us a tale. They're up to something else! Don't be fooled!!!

Why all the bs rumors? If you are just trying to stir the pot, you did well, but if you truly believe this without any proof, well...

none of this is true, BUT what is true is that black panther hunting season is officially shut down!

When the government shutdown first surfaces, Louisiana land was set to be closed. Luckily, yesterday Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries has a press release stating that all lands will remain open to hunting and fishing. Louisiana Sportsman published two articles on their website about the government shutdown letting us hunters and fishers know our rules.
