Re: AP to Port A (03/02,03/05)

I went back and the poles were removed and the trot-line gone. I also got skunked…I guess no good deed goes unpunished.

Re: AP to Port A (03/02,03/05)

This is what surprised me the most. Trot-lines are not common and someone who places one should know the ends and outs This person should be knowledgeable and not just someone who picked up a combo rod/reel and accidentally broke a law. It seems clear that it needs to be marked correctly with clear ...

Re: AP to Port A (03/02,03/5)

I didn’t read the link but I know of someone who received a citation for this and Ive also seen a GW write a citation on Lone Star Law for this. A friend of mine who fished a lot on the Brazos river with limb and trot lines was fishing with us in AP last summer. We saw a GW at the boat ramp and he ...

Re: AP to Port A (03/02,03/5)

Trot lines are illegal in brackish or salt water in Texas. Report it to a game warden. Definitely questionable on how it is constructed, but I do not think illegal in saltwater. Game Warden is aware, if anything is done about it is another situation. https://tpwd.texas.gov/regulations/outdoor-annua...

Re: AP to Port A (03/02,03/5)

There were no marking for TPWD that I saw and now that I think about it, someone could easily mistaken the white poles for channel markers. Next time I’ll take a picture. Hopefully I’ll be out there chasing the reds next week.

AP to Port A (03/02,03/05)

The redfish have been up in skinny water sorta waiting for bait to come by. Several big reds hit my topwater on pure blind casting… ( no real sign other than my hope). They were sitting in the grass beds in-between the sand, in groups of 2-3s. Spoons… gold spoons. They chased them like they haven’t ...

Re: Finally, a Catch in January!

Took the yak to the Sailboat Channel on 361 this morning. Lots of real estate showing with the super-low tides. Found some fish activity and tossed some frozen shrimp and boated two lower-slot Reds, and a bunch of shorts. The Red bite faded, and the Black Drum cranked up. Caught three 16-17" d...

Re: TPWD Sets Public Meetings

The new trout regulations have been voted on and adopted by the commission to become effective by late March. 3 fish per day bag limit 15”-20” slot limit 1 fish per day over 30” as part of the daily bag limit. As I understand it in March the commission will also plan to vote and adopt a tagging sys...

Re: I sure hope this turns out the way it seems

I usually just buy a new reel every 2-3 years. With time, technology, and necessity considered I find buying a new reel a good investment. Although I still have my Stradic, can’t get it to break.

Re: Trout on the coast

There is a December report where a member reported catching 100 in a day… I personally didn’t see much change fishing Aransas Pass the last 3 years. Same amount of trout I usually get.

Re: TPWD Sets Public Meetings

Someone said it online but I agree. There are a lot of people who fish but not a lot of people who catch fish. Changing the rules so one can add that .5 to his/her PB or so that one can actually catch something is disingenuous nonetheless.

Re: TPWD Sets Public Meetings

I was really hoping for that too. Or allowing 1 fish over 20” in the bag would be even better. There is still time! I wrote them about that specifically too. Based on decades of history once TPWD gets to this point (public comments) it’s a done deal. I’ll be shocked if any changes are made to the c...

The changes are probably coming. 15-20 with a 3 fish limit. 1Trout over 25" being part of the daily bag. I do not agree with this proposal and have sent the needed replies. I will also be a the Rockport meeting on Jan. 9. My biggest issue is not allowing 20-25 to be retained at all. I think th...

Re: TPWD Sets Public Meetings

A tag may help in multiple ways. First, if they do think the population can withstand it..why not? Some people want to catch and eat that fish so I don’t have a problem if the population can handle it. Second, if an oversized trout dies during the catch one can use the tag. Third, it could bring mor...

Absolutely. Real-World consequences for a perceived world demise… sounds like a religion to me. Nonetheless, our home on the coast went from 1/10 flood risk to 8/10 within the last 2 years.

Re: New Louisiana Speck Regs

I hope they keep it 15-25 at 5 with one being over 25. The only change I would consider is limiting any charter to 15 a day, 30 possession for the whole group. This would limit guided boats and floating houses and such. We just went from 10 to 5 recently and didn’t even have time to see that kick in...
