One guide I was with use to come to Louisiana Delacroix and Golden Meadow are with a group to fish.
He said after getting a trespassing ticket his group does not come down anymore.
The guy said about 12 guys would come down for 3 to 4 days, he spent alone at one gas station in golden meadow area $600 on meals for the group and basic food. That did not include his gas bill, hotel bill, launch fees, live bait if used, washing down boats, etc.
He said for a state with good fishery we really do not want the tourist to come down.
It is a shame a guide in Florida tells me redfishing is better and our state drops the ball on fishery tourism.
