PNG Proud Posted January 13, 2010 Report Posted January 13, 2010 Has anyone started fishing the reefs yet? This is about the time when it starts to get hot, and with the intense cold, they may actually be stacked up there RIGHT NOW!

I've heard that there was some fish kill due to the extreme cold, especially farther south. Anyone know of any fish kill locally?

I would think that the lake has deep enough water so the few days would not hurt the fish. I need to research!
thetragichippy Posted January 13, 2010 Report Posted January 13, 2010 From Chester Moore off a forum, from yesterday:After hearing rumors of fish kills on the coast, I contacted Texas Parks & Wildlife Department Kills & Spills program leader Winston Denton to get the facts.He confirmed there have been some kills, mentioning Pringle Lake near Port O'Connor and reports in the Matagorda complex. TPWD is still in the process of evaluating these reports and will be monitoring areas along the coast."There have been some widespread reports of kills but no large numbers all over confirmed yet," Denton said."It could be the fish had a chance to get out to deep water before the Arctic front moved through and they made it or it could be more have been killed and have not floated up yet."We will be monitoring this situation and will post any findings immediately here at TFG Forums.Chester MooreExecutive EditorTexas Fish & GameUpdate: Just got an email back from Texas Parks & Wildlife Department biologist Art Morris who said they are readying a press release about the kills. __________________

westend1 Posted March 6, 2010 Report Posted March 6, 2010 Any reports? Thinking of giving it a try tomorrow afternoon. I'm guessing it's pretty muddy?
dugout6 Posted March 8, 2010 Report Posted March 8, 2010 The last time we had a fish kill due to cold weather in the Sabine Lake and Pass area it was obvious. The fish could be seen floating on the surface or struggling near the surface. Due to the prop wash of the large ships in our area the lethargic or dead fish are pushed up to the surface and are easily seen. Just as reminder, it is illegal to boat fish that have succumbed to extreme weather conditions.

It is a law without a purpose as far as I am concerned.

And if you did you would still have to follow bag limits so it would only limimt what you could catch.
Bucof2010 Posted March 9, 2010 Report Posted March 9, 2010 I'm guessing they don't want people doing it for health reasons to most it's a no brainer but to some who knows
