  • Where in the world is everyone catching these fish?

    I have tried to use context clues...I have tried to re-read posts....but I can not figure out
    where in the world you all are catching these "wild" fish.
    Surely, it's not the bayou...is it?

    If it is, what fish on God's green earth could live in that muck?
    Can you sucessfully switch environments on a fish like that?

    I am so curious. (:
    Let me know...I have my net ready. *salutes with net*

       Yup, the mollies in my "Bayou Mollies" thread are indeed from the bayou, around downtown (Eleanor Tinsley Park). The Sheldon lake trip's catch was from an offshoot of Lake Houston. Like ek said, find a permanent body of water and you'll find fish!

        Wow- how do you get to the bayou?
        Not direction wise...I mean, how do you actually get down there? Are the fish in the middle? In the shallows?

        Aren't there snakes and stuff?

        I suppose that is a small price to pay for "au natural" fish.

          Just remember, by law you need a fishing licence if your not in a state park!!!

          And to take frogs or turtles you need a hunting licence.

            some parks have boat launch ramps &/or fishing piers.
            Most have public parking
            I have used a hand net, a minow trap and a casting net.
            the casting net works best for me.

            He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

              I live in Fort Worth, are there any interesting wild livebearers in this area?  Anyone know?

                    Hmm, interesting. Found this on the TPWD site:

                    A valid fishing license with a freshwater or saltwater stamp is required to take fish, mussels, clams, crayfish or other aquatic life in the public waters of Texas. A hunting license is required to take turtles and frogs.

                    The first Saturday in June of each year is the annual Free Fishing Day and no person is required to have a fishing license or stamp endorsements while fishing on that day.

                    A fishing license and stamp endorsement are not required if fishing from the bank in a state park or in waters completely enclosed by a state park. All other fishing regulations, such as length and bag limits, remain in effect.
