Fishing license ??

[Kickngringo]

At what age does the TPWD require one to have a fishing license? I have a 9 y.o. daughter that I would like to take out to the bay or arroyo to fish. Thanks group! I know my big butt needs one, but how 'bout her?

isnt it still 16? may have changed, but the last time i checked it was.

It is 16 if I remember right.
The child must be with a licenced person and in the same vacinity(sp), meaning not onthe other side of the lake from you.

I don't even think they have to be with you, the only time they need one is when they want to keep a oversize redfish???

AHH here it is........page 22 TPWD 06-07 outdoor annual.....
you do not need a license/package if you:

are under the age of 17

were born BEFORE Sept. 1, 1930

So if I can get my Doctor to write "Fish to relieve stress" I dont have a need for a fishing lis. ?

I've got 4 boys that means when I take all af them with me I can keep 5 limits. Just Kidding, I don't think the game warden will beleive the 2 year old caught 10 Trout.
