*3 fish bag limit

We thank Shane Bonnot from CCA from sending over this slide from a TPWD presentation and sharing it out on social media. At the time of this writing we have not been able to get a TPWD interview on the issue but are working on one for next week. This will most likely go to public hearings, perhaps in December. We’ll keep you posted.
