tp@wd new trout law

[justletmein]

One thing is for sure 3 fish limit will likely cause a lot of folks to think twice about a $75k rig

No it won't, most of those guys don't catch 3 a as it is.

There are no big deer in east Texas or fish in Calcasieu.

Thats right!

I just hope that if the implement something like that then they need to take a hard look at not having it last forever. TP&W is known for taking away limits and never giving them back.

The rule has a sunset provision. August 31, 2023. Being from Ammannsville you may need to know that a sunset provision means it ends on that date.

I was watching Lone Star Law the other night. Illegal aliens with no fishing license. Illegal cast net with game fish. Undersize and maybe some other violations. Get one ticket. I'm surprised it wasn't a warning. I'm sure they'll abide by the new trout limits.



Catch and release for US citizens is right around the corner.

Yep. They always check me coming in at the dike. Imagine if they actually cared about the laws and checked everyone fishing on the rocks. Pathetic..


Also, this is only a 2 spawn temp rule from the LLM to Matagorda. It won't affect us in Galveston Bay.

17-23 inches....kill the females
Would be better to keep 12-15 inch trout, mostly males
TPW at its best

That is not a correct statement or a responsible approach to fishery management.

More reason to keep driving to Hackberry.

And Louisiana is doing just fine..

How can someone justify a $650 guide fee or a $75k boat at 5 fish but not at 3? Complaining about the limit number in this case makes zero sense. If you're paying that kind of money you don't need 2 extra trout to feed your family.

Maybe I can catch me a limit now [emoji16]

I wouldn't be surprised if they end up expanding it on up the coast.

If most people would just use a little common sense, most of these laws and regulations would not be necessary.
If you catch a fish and it is hooked deep and may die anyway, keep it.
If you can go fishing often, just keep what you need for now. No need to fill your freezer every time you go out. If the limit is 5 but you just need 3, keep 3. You can catch and release fish!
Most people, myself included, are to concerned with catching a limit, no matter what that number is.
As far as the 3 trout limit affecting boat sales and guided trips. Remember, you can catch and release.

New TPWD Law for Galveston Bay - if you kill trout just for a pile pic or “fishing for the gram” - automatic license suspend HA

Yeah a place that literally had its worse trout numbers on record. This is not an unlimited resource, no one is fishing for food anymore.

But I’m not a biologist.

Neither are the TPWD commissioners.
