I am always curious about a person that is giving an answer and then turns to ask someone else if that is correct. You probably get something like, "Yeah, that is what I thought too". Hmmm......... In Texas (if I remember correctly), if you are 83, you do not need a fishing license. I thought that if a person was born before September 1, 1930 then they are exempt from a license. After that date, if a person is 65 or older they can get a reduced fee exempt license (while turning to someone else and asking, "That is correct right?).

I fished off of a dock downtown two nights ago and kept five specks and a 27 ½ inch red.

What time of day? Where you crabing in the canals or in the lake? A guy at work tossed a crab trap into the ship channel near downtown PA a couple of days ago while we were fishing. He went to check it after a couple of hours and had about two dozen big ones in it. I saw lots of them while we were fishing.

Can you talk about those on a public forum?

...and that makes whose offense the best?

I am not understanding the problem. The minimum length is 12 inches. If they are over two feet long, so much the better. If the pond is on private property, you don't need a license or have to worry about the regulations anyway as they don't apply. Even if they did, you are safe with fish that long. The length requirement is a minimum length not a maximum. At 67 he qualifies for the $7 license doesn't he? Yes, something like that. I thought that it was $11 but that might be for the saltwater/freshwater combo.

Why should the feds build anything as a compromise? I am not against piers being built but a compromise after the fact seems ridiculous. The closing of the pass is a done deal that is already funded. This seems like guaranteeing a man free healthcare after he is executed as a compromise. In other words, it is a bit late to be wanting to negotiate or to reach some sort of give and take. What is up with the blue crabs? I have seen more crabs around the Sabine area than I have in a few years.

If your brother's pond is completely on private property, fish away. For catfish in public waters the daily bag limit is: Blue and Channel Cats - 12 inches and 25 total between the two. For Flathead Cats (Opelousas or just Op) - 18 inches and five total.

You are definitely correct about the possession limits and not having a license. If you have fish then you either need a license with no more than the possession limit OR a note from the person that caught the fish listing the person's name, fishing license number (I think), the number of fish and the date they were caught. I know at least for saltwater fish, you need a fishing license to even arrive at a dock with fish or other aquatic life on board whether you were seen fishing or not. That even applies to freshwater that is used as an estuary for spawning of saltwater species. This would be the Neches River up toward Beaumont and Bessie Heights, etc.

Bru, that would be medics in the plural form...one wasn't enough on that night. That was some devastating hits when we can remember them years later.

TVC would be better to answer this than me....but here goes........... I think on private property you do not need a fishing license. The code does say public waters. However, if you transport those fish on a public road and happen to get pulled over by game warden, then you might end up in a bind......... That is correct. If the water is completely private, then no license needed. That means that it has to be completely surrounded by private property. Any contact with public property (like maybe one side of the pond runs along a public roadway) and a license is needed, even if the water is on private property. There are also no rules on size and bag limits on private property. There is a caveat to that law. If the completely private property pond is subject to flooding from a river or stream in the state, then the water is not considered private because fish from the public waterway can get into the pond. Any fish in the pond then belong to the people of the state and it requires a license. That does not apply to a majority of cases. Just a note, hunting on private property (including property that you live on) does require a license, unlike fishing.

I saw her today on two different networks. She is still a headline grabber. For now, but sometimes that's not a good thing! Kills time in the news while they try to think up what else they can make into a news story.

Not disagreeing but then you will have people that say the compliance officer is targeting certain students. If it is truly random, then everyone stands the same chance and no one is singled out. Start pointing out problem students and watch the sparks fly.

Good man. There is hope!

I can understand the problem but polls are what they are, simply someone's opinion. The person(s)/group putting out the poll can do whatever and however they want. It is only for discussions. With the local polls on setxsports.com, there are only so many teams per division. You could make the top 2 in the Golden Triangle 5A poll simply because there aren't any other teams. For that reason, sextsports combines some divisions. So what? Rebel simply needs to jump into the discussions on why he thinks his team should be rated higher, which is the whole intent of polls to begin with.

Yeah, that is what I was thinking.

I am just guessing from the way other laws are proven, if you take absolutely no part in the fishing or crabbing then you won't need a license. That means, you don't bait the hook, you don't help them with the net, etc. In other words, if you are just the taxi, it would probably be okay. The first time you touched a fishing pole, crab line or net, you would be fishing. This is the law on the requirement to have a license: Sec. 46.001. PROHIBITED ACTS. No person may fish in the public water of this state, or unload in this state fish or other aquatic life taken for sporting purposes from waters managed by the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council established under the Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. Section 1801 et seq.), unless he has acquired a fishing license issued under this subchapter, except as provided by Sections 46.0012 and 46.002. The commission by rule may prescribe requirements relating to possessing a license required by this subchapter.

Huh?

That's all true but in the 6 wins that Nederland has over WO-S in three decades, 5 have come under Neumann and three of the loses have been by 5 points or less. It hasn't come quite as easy in the last few years.

Yep. There is the August to August price and for a few more dollars, you can get it for one calender year from the date of purchase.

If you have the freshwater license already, the stamp is $10 for saltwater. If you buy them as a package deal, the "All Water Package" is $38 total. I think it is up for renewal August 31st.

I notice that when you quoted the statement and compared BO to Frederick Douglass, you left off the part about "a nice-looking guy".
