Another example of my employees(paid politicians) misusing their position & power to push personal agendas for personal gain! Most likly(hopefully) won’t go anywhere……

I hate when TPWD TAKES IT ON THEMSELVES TO KILL AQUATIC VEGETATION IN OUR LAKES . IT KILLS THE FISHING!!!!! A few people who own the lake lots have the say so over the thousands of fishermen and boaters not to say anything about the money lost to the cities close to the lake who depend on it for their income. It is so bad to the thousands only to server a very few. Let’s make sure we understand how this works. Each lake in TX has a controlling authority. Which lake are you referring to that TPWD has killed the grass on that has affected you?

TPWD is the gold standard for fishery and wildlife management. Been watching the classic anglers bang DD’s all week on multiple lakes in our area. We’re spoiled by living here, listen to what people who hunt and fish all over the country have to say about the job TPWD does. No chance the deer breeder wins this one.
If all you have to complain about is how they handle INVASIVE SPECIES like hydrilla perhaps a fella should turn his attention towards the 2 federal entities that listed it as an invasive species to begin with. You’re never going to have a leg to stand on until that goes away.

... Why isn’t our learned fish and game people screaming about the damage cormorants are doing to our fisheries. This... On lakes in E. Tennessee they're decimating the ground vegetation and trees where they choose to roost... Ten years ago you never saw them, now they're everywhere... Dan

Dan anybody know how to get ahold of Donald Trump Jr....pretty sure he would agree to take the endangered species bullcrap protection off them....maybe he could send Elon Musk over to the US Wildlife departent,fire the uneeded employees and open the season on cormorants...(and use lead shot on them)...

I spoke with an inland fisheries guy from Tpwd at the new ramp on fork a couple weeks ago. He was doing a survey and one of the questions was if the hyacinth affected our fishing that day. I asked him why they have to spray and he said it was the only option they really had. I asked why they don’t draw the lake down like they do some places and he said the seeds last 10 years so it wouldn’t do any good. It killed a lot of it off when they drew down for repairs a couple years ago but it all came back. I’m not knowledgeable enough about to subject to offer any more input than that I don’t like them spraying. But there are several coves on fork that are getting thick with hyacinth

Hate to break the news to some of the people that think this isn't a real threat but Curry sits on the Doge committee that is run by a billionaire south African immigrant that I guarantee I and nobody else on here voted for but is somehow running our country with no checks and balances . Better do your homework and let your voice be heard .It's all about what benefits their bottom line and everything else is irrelevant to them.

Maybe I’m wrong but TPWD is not a federal agency…i guarantee you musk does not have TPWD on his radar, not even close

I wish they’d abolish having to drive 1-1/2 in I20 traffic to get a stupid boat registration! Why it can’t be done at a local county tax office is beyond me
