The weather report calls for three days of below freezing temps but not for long periods of time. Any rumors TPWD banning fishing this week once again? On a side note heard a rumor of fisherman fishing an area where fishing was banned on Saturday after 12:00pm and caught limits of redfish stopped by the game warden and fisherman told game warden that he was not aware of the extension to Monday noon of no fishing in the areas off limits. Talked to several guides today and they were not aware of extension. TPWD needs to do a better job in the future getting the awareness of banning of fishing during freezeing temps through radio, tv news, and newspaper.

The fishing population being what it is compared to the size of the general population, not sure how TPWL could get the word out efficiently and within their budget guidelines. During the big freeze event last week, Capt. Mike warned violators fishing in these areas, and they just ignored him. Truth be told, if I was not privy to this board, I would have had no clue.

Does the TPWL offer any kind of texting alert program (to cell phones), or the like? Just typing out loud. Very Happy

Maybe hang a few signs at every boat ramp and bait stand. It would require a buttload of work, but then again, what good is a ban if nobody knows about it.

Chefs right,I was around during the freeze and if I did not read it on here,you would never have known

I kind of thought that they'd be doing something very simple: like having all TV stations pass the alert along. It's a public service announcement.
