Inshore Fishing in Lake Pontchartrain / Northshore in Southeast Louisiana

Boats on Fender works

Okay folks, How about using some good ol' brain cells when out fishing at the bridges. Some uneducated people seem to deem it okay to tie up to fender works at the bridges-and on the channel side to boot! . People, not only are you in a channel, where you have put you and your crew in dangers way, and you have set yourself up for major fines. It is illegal to tie up to any fender work system and on either side (Channel side or not) and you are also financially liable for the time the held up vessels had to wait for you to move.
ie: There is a tug (Mr. Cass) with her barges, who has had to hold up transiting the Rigolets (L&N) Bridge this morning due to fishermen tied to the guide walls. (I understand the bridge tender told people to move but no one listened).
So use your head folks, the life you save could be your own, and I doubt your fishing buddies will help with the fines.

the best

The best one out there was some broad was running a boat with 5 kids on it. Not only did she run completely over all of our lines (15 ft from my boat) but she then tied to the bridge overhead ON THE OPERATIONAL PART OF THE BRIDGE!! The bridge opened and they were freaking out because it started dragging their boat. Stupid is as Stupid does!!

hmmm

never realised it was illegal but i always knew it was stupid to tie up on the traffic side.

i have tied up on the back side before thinking since i was out of the traffic zone that it was ok to tie up in that spot. course im talking about a 14-15ft flat boat and not a big ole bay boat.

so i learned me sumptin today lol.

what about the little oil and gas platforms throughout the marsh and bays? are there any rules against tying up to those platforms or the moring posts around them?

'Story of the One-Eye Seagull'

keakar...if a barge or tug ever slams the other side 'ya'll feel like a fly under a fly swatter...remember a percentage of them likeable guys do drink...it's even happened w/subs under ferrys and a battleship ???...also if they ever lose power the downwind or downcurrent boats will always get 'squeeshed'...cheers

L and n

Funny thing is I think some were guides!! All you have to do is watch last weeks fish and game report!!!! When I saw the tug coming with those barges this morning I told my fishing partners 'that is why you don't tie up there, there could be problems' I'll pass on a few bull reds to keep myself and fishing partners safe. My boat my rules!!!!
