defeated, because it has been al-
tered too much from the original
intent of the bill. There is the old
saying that a “half a loaf is 'better
than no loaf at all” and that is
the case of this, bill. Sportsmen
need to decide if they want the
crumbs or do they want more . ...
Houston is doing better in the
baskeball playoffs than Arkansas,
having won two straight by the
narrowest of margins, one point in

SPORTS
ROUND-UP
IT IS A LONG ROAD FROM the
time a bill is introduced in the
Texas Legislature until it is final
ly passed and signed by the Gov-
ernor. Sometimes the bills finally
passed are so different from what
was originally introduced that it
is not even recognizable—except by
the title. The Texas Red Drum
Conservation Act may be one of
those bills.
When it was introduced, the bill
set a limit of 100 pounds of red-
fish per day for the commercial

fisherman, 10 redfish per day for
the sports fishermen, provided for
larger nets so that small fish would
not be caught, and provided that
the Texas Parks and Wjldlife Dept,
regulate the catch after the first
year. Also, the cost of a commer-
cial license was increased from $5
to $25.
The Senate Bill No. 624 passed
out of committee last week by a
vote of 9 to 1, after a public bear-
ing was held. Already the section
pertaining to a larger mesh size in
nets has been deleted, the daily bag
limit, which was to become ef-
fective Sept. 1, would be required
only for 1977. The bill would re-
quire the Parks and Wildlife Dept,
to establish a quota for the com-
mercial harvest of redfish for 1978.
Bag limits were altered also to
be 200 pounds per day per boat for
commercials. (It was 100 pounds,
without mention of boats).
Under this revision, the commer-
cial fisherman could take out three
boats (one motor and "two boats),
and then J)e able to havest 600 lbs.
in a single day.
Also, under the original bill, the
the number of feet or trot lines
and number of hooks would be
limited.
The commercial fisherman ob-
jects to the 10Q lb. limit because
some days when the fish are biting,
he will catch 200, 300 or even 500
lbs. in a single day, and other days,
they won’t catch anything but
trash fish,
(Also, commercial fishermen
complain that sports fjshermen
will steal the redfish and trout
from their lines from time to
time.)
If any kind of redfish control bill
is passed by the legislature this
session, it will be a miracle. And
if one does pass, it won’t be re-
cognizable from the original bill.
