The Louisiana
Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Licensing Section will
be selling commercial fishing licenses from the Bourg office
from April 1 to 3.
Most commercial
fishing licenses will be available for purchase from Tuesday,
April 1 through Thursday, April 3 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.
