Elkins. I am a life long noodler and felt it silly that you can noodle on one bank of the Red River and not the other. Noodlin in a social bonding activity for many Southern Families and I wanted to see it become legal in the greatest state in the union. As for the comment about the bill legalizing noodling except for the spawn, that is not how the bill is written and I think there was a misunderstanding somewhere. If the bill passes, there will be noodling in the spawn but there will likely be reduced bag limits. Thank you for your interest and please support this cause by emailing your State Rep in support of HB 2189. With a handshake, Brady ... Last edited by fouzman; 04/14/11 06:03 PM.

I could not give a rat's arse less if some fool wants to get drowned by a big old catfish, i just hope I don't hook one of them in the arm with my circle hooks cause they's in my way!

Yanta61 Angler Y Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 317 Beeville , Texas	I�m for it....i would like to try it once or twice. it�s all about the bag and size limit. what�s the difference in catching 5 yellow with your hands or catching them on rod and reel/lines. Does everyone stop fishing with rod & reels/lines during the spawn??

They are the ones who know how it will effect the fishing populations, not some stuffy suit in the capital.

Need to encourage the serious catfishermen on here to call their representatives and encourage them to vote no. Hate to bust y'alls bubble but it has been going on for years in Texas . The law if passed may pick up a few newbs but for the most part it will be the same ones that have been doing it for years.
