I was there at daylite this morning and left with 20 SLABS. I didn't keep anything this morning that wasn't obvious. CAught a bunch. Then they shut one of the 2 gates that were open and it slowed down. Left at noon. Wanted to watch some football.

I just don't understand it. I think licenses are inexpensive for residents in Texas; Maybe not as cheap as IL ($13), but pretty dang cheap compared to places like Wisconsin and Michigan or even Washington state. The minimum fine listed in the regulations book is $50 AND they can confiscate your equipment; The minimum fine in itself pays for an all-water year-from-date-of-issue fishing license with $3 to spare. I'd just assumed most of those guys had licenses considering their gear wasn't too cheap, and even one of those guys (at least on the concrete bank) was using a Shimano Stradic reel on his surf rod/bobber getup. That's a pricey reel (I think only 1 grade down from a Stella).

Kudos to Texas game wardens for doing a bang-up job.

That was me..I could have had an easy limit, but I stopped and ate a few snacks and just relaxed for a few minutes. It was just a few minutes after I started back after it that they closed the one gate. And, I threw back probably 10 or so that were just barely 10 inches

When I pulled up in the parking lot the game warden the game warden was just popping two guys with under size fish. They had three 6" hybrids (little short of 18") as well as a load of under size sandies. They insisted on arguing with the game warden that it was "their first time". Game warden confiscated their gear right then. Folks need to take a little time to read the fishing regs.

The Sustain is a step down from the Stella but some people say the new sustain and and stradic are basically the same.

haha, you're probably talking about me and my borther in law from kansas. we didnt get tickets. just two warnings. i learned two valuable lessons today. never fish with someone who doesnt have a license. and never keep a fish under 18 inches if you arent absolutely 100% sure that its a sandie. i was confident that i had a sandie at first. but after closer examination of the tooth patch with the game warden, i did have a undersized hybrid on my stringer. i still think by the stripes alone, it could have gone either way though.

i forgot my waders so i waded in my wind pants and sneakers. bad idea. i was shivering at the parking lot for an hour while the game warden was giving out tickets to 3 guys. but it was still a positive learning experience for me. and leroy the game warden is a good guy. very professional. i have all the respect for them. i love seeing their trucks out there even though i was on the short end tonight. side note, those guys are carrying some serious firepower. i think i saw at least 3 pieces of weapon in their trucks.

it was slow slow. 3 undersized crappie; 2 undersized sandies, 2 keeper sandies-actually 1 keeper sandie; 1 undersized hybrid

i really lucked out. i would have gotten an earful from my wife if she found out that her brother got a ticket cause i took him along without a license.

i didnt even think about my brother not having a license until i saw the game warden coming down the steps. then i was like, sh*t!

HaHAHA! That's funny. I did pretty good that day. 15 keeper crappie and 3 sandbass.

I dunno about you guys but a under sized hybrid looks like an under sized hybrid to me.
