Cast Net Flounder?

[Fargus]

I didn't dig just real hard, but couldn't find it nonetheless. Is it legal in Texas to cast net flounder? It is considered a nongame fish and allowed to be gigged as well as bowfished, but cast net?

last line from TPW...so no....


Cast Net

A cast net is a net that can be hand-thrown over an area.

• Legal only for taking nongame fish and other aquatic animal life including crabs, crayfish, and shrimp. (See shrimp regulations)
• May not be greater than 14 feet in diameter.
• In salt water, nongame fish may be taken for bait purposes only.
