I saw a guy at Khan’s Saturday afternoon fishing with bait and he had three fish, including a brown, on a stringer. I called the game warden, he took off towards Rio and the warden went to find him. Not sure if he did or not. I see people fishing with power bait often at Rio. It isn’t illegal to fish with bait, only to keep fish caught on bait. Not real effective when they swallow the hook.
No that is not what I am saying. No one has the right to break any laws. But in TX, the laws are generally made in a way that protects land owners rights to do what benefits them vs what benefits general population. There is VERY little public land in TX and what there is is closed down to most activities compared to other states. If we can’t the landowners along the Guad to want to eliminate bait fishing and treble hooks, it would be a tough row to hoe with TPWD. If we could get the businesses to see the value of going that route, we might have a chance.
I agree but in order to make that work we need the business owners along the river to support it as well. Texas being a Land owner rights state, taking away a landowners “right” to fish however they want will be difficult. However as you see with deer hunting in TX, if there is money to be made,then TPWD will support it as it provides income to the property owners. Maybe we can’t get all the river, but if we could get sections, that would be a start. then show the value to the others and grow it from there.
