Fishermen push bill changes before Texas panel
Calhoun County Bay Fisherman's Association leaders travel from Port Lavaca to Austin to press shrimp conservation amendments. After two lengthy meetings they back a Galveston bill framework but seek tweaks including a 50 count per pound limit only in late fall, while opposing broader season and bay closure provisions. Representatives from Port Lavaca Seadrift Port O’Connor and Aransas Pass plan to testify alongside Parks and Wildlife officials to seek a united stance.
