Grab your tackle box, your fishing poles and head on out to your favorite body of water Saturday: it’s Free Fishing Day in Texas.
The first Saturday of every June is designated for all Texans to fish in all public waters without a license.
The rest of the year, Texas Parks and Wildlife requires a fishing license that range from $7 to $47.
“Free Fishing Day is a wonderful opportunity for anglers to share their knowledge, skills, equipment and love for fishing with a new participant,” said Craig Bonds, inland fisheries director for TPWD.
TPWD has a list of public fishing spots throughout the state, and also a list public access points for saltwater fishing in the bays.
It’s going to be a scorcher across Greater Houston on Saturday. The forecast is calling for a high of 96 with mostly sunny skies and a 20 percent chance for a scattered thunderstorm.
