Gated Canal

Has anyone else heard that a certain local celebrity from Pierre part has put up a gate across the canal in lake verret just south of michelle canal? Wondering if anyone can confirm this? Also hearing gates are being put up in the orange grove canal.

I heard today that they are not only in the process of gating all Orange Grove canals, but all 70 mile canals. Those are two of the best bass/sac-a-lait systems in Houma. It is really nice to be rich in Lousyana.

The Breaux Canal????

Yes, on the west side of Verret. If anyone is interested... a WHOLE bunch of folks from around Louisiana and the nation are signing up to a group just formed today to see what can be done about locking the public out of the coastal region. It is on facebook... Louisiana Sportsmen United. Sign .up and show your support

A canal in Bayou Des Allemands is in the process of being closed off with hundred gallon barrels cabled together. Seen that Sunday past.
Landowners have been in this game way too long to lose. They have the money and land to take certain individuals hunting and fishing on. Show them a good time you know.
When you tinkle against the wind, some returns to soil you. Those gates may go the way of 3 strands of barbed wire and posted signs. Just be a deputy waiting for you to trespass and confiscate your equipment while arresting you for criminal trespass.
You know what swamp people Willie would say, Good luck to ya.

Would this be the same celebrity whose father owns a local eatery?

...you guys should get to the ' New Gov''....before ''other people do''...(have old Louisiana friends in Texas and Mississippi laughing and happy )...maybe next hurricane we go-go with'da wind too)...cheers

That Rabbit is already in the pot. This started some 50 plus years ago at Yankee Canal when they took over the hold west side of Golden Meadows. Big money talks case closed. Broadhead the old LSU AD had a camp back then in the area. The problem nothing will be one the right people have the key to the gates.

Admiral, the new Governor is a lawyer, he has already sold his soul.....

I see in The Advocate today that this 'celebrity' is offering a $1000 reward for someone who gives information as to who damaged his gate to HIS canal........

If there is any question who installed this gate in Lake Verret canal, read this article from 'The Baton Rouge Advocate':

'Pete'

...he damaged the canal...and 'da Shadow' damaged ' his ' gate ??? (no wonder the Russians don't like us)... cheers

p/s...if the P/R goes bad they could have sponsorship and endorsement problems (it happened before)

I'm going to play the unpopular devils advocate. Louisiana property law distinguishes between navigable and unavigable waters as to whether they remain private or not. There are several areas of the state right now that are clearly 'navigable' when the ms river is up. Does everyone think that since their high end deer lease can be accessed by a flat bottom boat it would make it open to shoot one of their big deer or ducks sitting in their woods? I think not. I agree with the coastal issues that have been subject to hating in the past but disagree w the majority here on the issues involving the canal in Pierre part since the water is currently at record levels.

never got enuf!!!! fame n fortune can turn a good guy into a greedy guy sometimes!!!!

Specksnducks.......that canal is accessible by boat 365 days a year regardless of water level. I understand the property is his but the ONLY thing that gate is doing is denying access to PUBLIC FISH. The whole argument that 'its to keep poachers off private property' is BS. Any poacher can get onto that property from any other bank. And navigable water is water that ebbs and flows with the tide......high water flooding property does not make it legal to go on someone else's property.

...who cut 'da poo-poo bag ???...I ain't smells nutt'n Mr.Attorney General ... (this should be a real test for our new West Point 'Janitor' ???... plus I've been bored w/the show too, looks like the ' hour of fame' is fading ???

( cheers)

yep admiral smells like crap too!!!! as usual!!!!! its all about who u know n who u suck up too!!! scratch swamp people off my things to watch!!!! cheers!!!

Stupid show from the get go.

Article in Advocate this a.m. Somebody trashed his gate and he has a reward offered! He might 'Choot EM!!

Probably need the gates to keep the 'groupies' from following them.

Dam, made myself laugh.

its really sad think about it!!!! we cant get along in south la. how in the hell can the world get along????? cheers!!!!

We have the medicine for those who wish to disagree BeastMaster.
