Re: Heading offshore today
Can you clarify the jacked up Texas laws on Tripletail. I thought you could not shoot them at all.

Re: Heading offshore today
If he is shooting cobia I would assume that he is in federal waters where I believe triple tail are legal

Re: Heading offshore today
Recreational anglers must have a Texas fishing license and saltwater endorsement to bring any fish taken in federal waters ashore in Texas (see Fishing in Federal Waters).

Re: Heading offshore today
I just returned from a TPWD event at the Chaparral WMA. Spoke at length with two Game Wardens and I am getting information so we can send reasoned, well thought out letters regarding designation of game fish in salt water and allowing spearing of them. I am getting some inside contacts so as to present a change without sending up flares and having us look like rabid activists. We, as a community, need to be careful how changes are presented and how much noise is made. I don't want ARS yanked so we can take Cobia is a prime example. We also don't need the attention by competing resource users. I will stay in touch as my search progresses.

Re: Heading offshore today
I say we should be able to harvest what ever we want as long as it meets size and catch limits! Being we are way more selective in our harvest, we don't stress and injury half dead fish like rod reel guys! Besides our footprint is way smaller and there's only a handful of us anyways hunting this way. Seem very unfair.... I'm down

Look at what happened with catfish a few years ago, it got opened to bow fishing which would be a similarly small group, after one year it got shut down, the rod and reel guys screamed so loudly it got taken off. |
