that's great thirdcoast all the funds go to Younglife in Corpus Christi, but your using public resource to make money for your tournament.
What is the tournament doing to give back to the resource, you making any
type of donation to the TP&W to help manage the resource?

Exactly, The state needs to put a stop to it or tax tournaments.

Tax the entry fees and the payouts. They should also put parking meters around public boat ramps. Anyone caught using the water for any reason other than developing it as a resource should be forced to pay a fee as well. If you fish...you better make a donation to the TP&W. I'm not just talking about your boat registration and liscense fee...a completely seperate donation to give back to the resource. Dont even get me started on bird watchers. Razz

The last fish I caught had other fish in it's belly, so it was really utilizing the resources without have paid anything into the pot.

So how can we tax the fish themselves? Confused

Q.E.D.

no the fish in the fish are both the resource. you should be taxed doubly for using both...and triple if it was live bait.
Joking aside...we need to find a way to give TP&W more money. If you really care about our natural resources then you should let the tp&w take care of it.

Q.E.D. is sometimes jokingly claimed to abbreviate "quite easily done". Q.E.D. can also be used to ridicule the specious reasoning of another person by mockingly attaching it to the end of a poor argument, which was not in fact successfully demonstrated or presented.

Found definition...
