The
Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Licensing Section
is reminding commercial fishermen that department representatives
will again set up temporary shop in the Bourg office for the
sale of commercial fishing licenses to the public.
Most commercial
fishing licenses will be available for purchase from Tuesday,
April 17 through Thursday, April 19 from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30
p.m. each day. The office is located at 468 Texas Gulf Road
in Bourg and their contact number is 985-594-4130.
Fishermen are reminded
that only cashier's checks, money orders and cash will be
accepted at the Bourg office. No credit cards or personal
checks will be taken. To avoid processing delays, those purchasing
licenses are asked to bring their license renewal notices
with them.
In addition to
continual sales in Baton Rouge, LDWF has offered commercial
licenses from its office in Bourg twice a year since January
of 2002. It has successfully provided LDWF with an improved
method of customer service and has proven to be a convenient
way for commercial fishermen to keep their important licenses
current.
