I did not know this,....
The first Saturday in June of each year is the annual Free Fishing Day and no person is required to have a fishing license or stamp endorsements while fishing on that day. |

Think the stamp regulations might still apply if you are trying to keep something that regulates one or something oversize you know... but maybe im wrong and in that case, what a time to be so

The free fishing relates to free fishing in Texas State Parks, I believe, but I could be wrong.

Actually, it is free fishing day, and you can fish anywhere in Texas state waters without a license, not just state parks.
You can also fish for free in Texas State parks year round.
"A valid fishing license with a freshwater or saltwater stamp endorsement is required to take fish, mussels, clams, crayfish or other aquatic life in the public waters of Texas. A hunting license is required to take turtles and frogs.
The first Saturday in June of each year is the annual Free Fishing Day and no person is required to have a fishing license or stamp endorsements while fishing on that day.
A fishing license and stamp endorsement are not required if fishing from the bank in a state park or in waters completely enclosed by a state park. All other fishing regulations, such as length and bag limits, remain in effect."

Big John, there was such a glaring mis-statement with your first sentence that I didn't get through the rest of it.
Sorry i don't have all the CORRECT answers, but maybe some of us were thinking free fishing day at the state parks because those places all advertise it more than say, Stripes stores or game wardens.
I think the idea is that you won't be checked for a license that day. although I could be wrong. which is more than some of us are willing to admit, it seems.
