I was reading up on Texas regs for spearfishing.
This came from Texas Parks & Wildlife.
Speargun:
Any hand operated device designed and used for propelling a spear, but does not include the crossbow.
• May be used to take NONGAME fish only.
Game Fish (includes hybrids or subspecies of fish on this list):
• Bass: Guadalupe, largemouth, smallmouth,
spotted, striped, white, yellow
• Catfish: blue, channel, flathead
• Cobia
• Crappie: black, white
• Mackerel: king, Spanish
• Marlin: blue, white
• Pickerel
• Red drum
• Sailfish
• Sauger
• Seatrout, spotted
• Sharks
• Snook
• Spearfish, longbill
• Swordfish, broadbill
• Tarpon
• Trout: brown, rainbow
• Wahoo
• Walleye
Non-game Fish: All species not listed as game fish except endangered and threatened fish which are defined and regulated under separate rules.
So does that mean Red Snapper & Sea Bass are off limits?
