I call flood waters, waters that inundate and area as a result of a flood event, it is impossible to have flood waters if you are not experiencing a flood event. You may be refering to high water, but that aint flood water. If it were mine, I would not want folks coming way into my property, you are ...

Yeah i understand that BR549, but the term "flooded", is in there, and right now the river is not "flooded" so there is now way Anyone could cross a boundry line in flooded waters.. This would be relavant if you were going way into the trees during a flood event. so anything that says Flood or flood ...

BR549,
Which Federal Law would you be refering to? This is a stae law issue anyway, it aint got nothing to do with federal law. MS and LA have different laws regarding this type of issue, I personally like MS stand point, but, hey what can you do? But I wish all the states woudl go by federal law ...

After talking with a person at work about the river and the ordinary low water, I was informed there is no such thing as ordinary low water, there is an average low water and the average low water at Vicksburg is 13' on the gage, which translates to elevation ~68' at Chotard as the average low water ...

I received this email from the Office of State Lands, sort of explaining the deal, sort of.

I am going to find out what the ordinary low water level is for the river at that area,a dn then get the elevation of that ordinary low water so we can at least get an idea of the areas that are withing the ...

I got word from the LA Office of State Lands Director today that they are investigating the matter as we speak, they told me "Our chief surveyor and contractor we used to develop our water bottoms is investigating the matter." As I hear more from him i will post updates.

Deltaduckman, youa are ...

Yes Quinn, i am who you think i am, J.S. From Vicksburg.

I am going ot try to attach a map that i made that depicts the land that is State Claimed Waters aroudn the end of Lake Chotard. I georeferenced the states map showing the State Claimed Waters over a 2006 NAIP 2 foot aerial image. I don't know if it will work because I have never posted a picture ...

Yeah I have alot of maps that I have created that have all the information (lines, coordinates, etc..) on it and Idownloaded the stuff to my GPS, I know what State, and what parish/county I am in at all times out there, because it is a shame that you know this is going to happen every time you go ...

I know I have not posted on here much, I really never posted much at the MDWFP forum, until recently. I was banned from that site for expressing an opinion and trying to get some information out involving what is happening at Lake Chotard with Tara Wildlife and the East Carroll Paarish Sherriff's ...

Gotta be a joke!!!!

Who closes them to hunting? They are public waters since you have free public access and you can hunt and fish public waters, the law makes no distinction between the two. I would think you can hunt it. But what do it Know.

I agree with BR549, if you gotta ask, then you don't need to go. I aint no old timer by no means but i have been on the river my whole life, I go out usually at least once a week, try to anyway, and i got a 17 foot boat with a 50HP, it is plenty. I started out with a 15 ft. tiller handle 25, if you ...

Nothing in that area, wouldn't drive up from LA. to go there.

Yeah Bonecollector, like that idiot at Mahanna that rides his boat through other peoples decoys. It's SOB's like that I don't like and want to drown in the woods.
