That survey was written with the express intention of confirming their desired results. I filled out the survey and let them know of my displeasure. There clear aim is to use the results to justify an increase in their community fishing program, which I think most of us support. The bottom line kids are not fishing these days, and they are not fishing when they grow up and license sales are hurting. I think they could make better use of their dollars by eliminating the winter truck stockings and concentrate on stocking sustainable fish.
It doesn't address the some of the other key issues that need to be addressed. I would love to see a 50 hook per a boat limit. I have seen boats running hundreds of jugs at Tawakoni. I would also like to see the 30 - 45" slot limit applied to Tawakoni. I would like to see a single fish limit applied to noodling for 11 months out of the year and catch and immediate release season applied to hand fishing during a month long spawning period. I would also like to see blue catfish stocked in Arlington. That would definitely increase urban fishing opportunities.
I think a single fish over 30" for any method.
Snowflakes and entitled brats will be the doom of America!

All,
Thank you for reading this draft plan and taking the survey. TPWD conducted a statewide catfish angler survey in 2010 to seek out the needs and desires of Texas' Catfish anglers. We've also conducted numerous studies on catfish and have been experimenting with some harvest regulations, stocking strategies, and habitat work. All these information resources (your opinions and good science) formed the basis for this draft plan. We just want to keep catfish fishing great in Texas. To do that, we need to properly manage these resources so they will continue to be available for future generations of anglers ( our kids). TPWD has no hidden agendas here. We work for you and want your opinions on this matter. That's the whole point of this survey. We're trying to communicate with you, our customers, and provide great fishing opportunities for everyone, We clearly understand that different anglers want different things. We think we can provide all those things, with proper fisheries management. Please support us in this effort and call me if you have any questions - 512-389-4855
Dave
