I just picked up my 2021 - 2022 TP&W Outdoor Annual (the yearly regs in Texas). I was very surprised to see that there are no longer size limits on Channels or Blues.

I don't have my book from last year but I'm pretty sure there was a 12 inch minimum on both last year.

Any Texas friends concur?

Most likely the case. Now, I just need to get into them. But first...I need my boat to arrive.

But all I need is a new tilt control switch to get it back.

I'm just learning how to fish for catfish. I'm a crappie fisherman...not a good one...but i try. I honestly don't know of many good places to fish from the bank. I need to find some though.
