I must weigh in on the side of disappointment about this news. I guess it’s worded to say we can’t enter the water in the “hot zone” marked in red, but I’m thinking that some tall surf rods are fine for 8nBait slung from the shore sans people in the water. Hey, it’s something. I preferred launching from the quieter shoreline inside the bay anyway to be honest, but I still feel this is a bad precedent. It just seems to me that over time, the real estate developers have been patiently moving forward their takeover of shoreline in the bays and on the gulf coast for a very long time and their greatest weapon has been using city councils and county courts to clear the way for them by eliminating us pesky fisherman and birders, beach bums, etc. etc. It just feels like yet another loss for us all needlessly. And now clears the way for more to follow. Beware folks. Just sayin

Anyone that fishes the beach KNOWS you have to get in the water at sometime to drag a big fish out per say. YOU ARE THEN BREAKING THE LAW. Sorry, but I see many people risking getting their lines further out and therefore more idiocy drownings.

I would bet they enforce the law and watch the people there and if they step ONE FOOT in the water then they are breaking the law as they are in the water fishing.

I put my kayak in at the county park in the little cove and go over to that area to fish.

And yes there is a requirement to HAVE a PFD on a kayak or any sea worthy vessels with human lives. There is no requirement to wear it all the time, that is a fact in a yak or boat unless you are a kid and law dictates they have to wear them at all times on the water.

No, they drag off the bottom those who take more risk than they can handle.

crazy leader abolishes the epa and deregulates ,all the waters will be too polluted and oily to fish in
Aha... Now I see why how these laws get passed for "my own benefit". I am glad your kind knows what is best for me. Thank you!

Just another erosion of our freedom. That's how it's done, just a little bit at a time.....

You must be like 70 -- because I am 40. :-) While I theoretically can drown in 1 foot of water (where I typically fish) it is so unlikely to happen that I certainly won't spend any time planning for that.

Crying "danger" about every possibility causes more harm than good -- people become used to it, they don't realize how different danger of swimming in SLP from danger of driving a bicycle without a helmet. They get used to these signs...

Problem is we're not talking wade fishing in a bay with minimum current flow. And really they make laws like the SLP ban for those stupid people who do stupid things to keep those who respond, to help the simpleton, from not endangering themselves. And yes I'm pushing 70. Lived thru combat and 45 years of construction. I personally don't care about the ban. If I want to fish in the pass I'll just launch at the county park and paddle into the pass. FYI. I don't think they should ban fishing and swimming there. Common sense seems to be in a limited supply amongst the young today.

I put a comment on the Brazoria County web site about this new law.
Basically let them know I don't think it is fair to infringe on our right to access public waters because of the bad judgment of a few.
I will remember them come election time.

I agree with Yaklash. As I read the order, it prohibits entering the water on the Brazoria side for any activity. However, what it does not say is, in my view, more important. Accordingly, I still believe you can launch your kayak at the County Park and fish Cold Pass and Titlum/Tatlum, as those are not the waters of SLP. Fishing in the Pass itself also does not seem to be banned, as long as you don't "enter the waters" on the prohibited side to get there. I would also argue that bank fishing on the Brazoria side is still permitted, as long as you don't "enter the waters" to do it. And, though I would not recommend it, it would also appear that wade fishing the Galveston side is still permitted as well.

This is to make a POINT!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To Those of Us Born 1925~1955

TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED THE 1930’s, 40’s, and 50’s !!

First, we survived being born to mothers who may have smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant.

They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.

Then, after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-based paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, locks on doors or cabinets, and, when we rode our bikes, we had baseball caps, not helmets, on our heads.

As infants and children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, no booster seats, no seat belts, no air bags, bald tires and sometimes no brakes..

Riding in the back of a pick-up truck on a warm day was always a special treat.

We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle.

We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle, and no one actually died from this.

We ate cupcakes, white bread, real butter, and bacon.

We drank Kool-Aid made with real white sugar.

And we weren't overweight - WHY?

Because we were always outside playing...that's why!

We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the street lights came on.

No one was able to reach us all day ... and, we were OKAY.

We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride them down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes.

After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.

We did not have Play Stations, Nintendos and X-boxes.

There were no video games, no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVDs, no surround-sound or CDs, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet and no chat rooms.

WE HAD FRIENDS And we went outside and found them!

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth, and there were no lawsuits from those accidents.

We would get spankings with wooden spoons, switches, ping-pong paddles, or just a bare hand, and no one would call child services to report abuse.

We ate worms, and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.

We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, 22 rifles for our 12th, rode horses, made up games with sticks and tennis balls, and, although we were told it would happen - we did not put out very many eyes.

We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just Walked in and talked to them.

Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team.

Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment.

Imagine that!!

The idea of a parent Bailing us out If we broke the law was unheard of ... They actually sided with the law!

These generations have Produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers, and inventors ever.

The past 60 to 85 years have seen an explosion of innovation and new ideas.

We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all.

If YOU are One of those born between 1925-1955, CONGRATULATIONS!

You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids before the lawyers and the government regulated so much of our lives for our own good.

While you are at it, forward it to your kids, so they will know how brave and lucky their parents were.

Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it ?

I did all of this with the exception of not having a PlayStation, breaking bones, having a mother who drank or smoked while she was pregnant with me or my sister or riding in a car seat.....I was born in 85 which makes me 31. Not knocking any other generation, just not sure exactly what your point is. How a person turns out has more to do with HOW they were raised versus WHEN they were raised.

If this has anything to do with the original point of this thread maybe you should look up the age of the two gentlemen that lost their life that fateful Monday as well as the age of the one who would have lost his life if it wasn't for the coastguard pulling him out the water. You may be surprised at what you find.

Legislating common sense is a joke. So, now it is against the law to stick your toe into the water of San Luis Pass, but the laws already on the books with regard to littering will continue to be ignored. :evil:

Agree 100% on that trash issue, which is far worse on the Galveston side, where you can actually still walk into the pass freely. This applies to the Brazoria County side only.
