  There is an exception for catfish. But bass and crappie you cannot shoot. You need an all water fishing license. The one for fresh and saltwater. That's it

  Yup. You can't shoot game fish. Only carp, buff, and gar.

  Each state has different laws on that. Check your local dnr website it should give you the information you need. If not give them a call.

  Sry. Miss read it. No archery license needed. It's easier to say which fish you can shoot than not lol. Carp, buff, gar. Read TPWD on this. There is slot more ...more you need to know.

  Yes. All you need is a fishing license. BUT. . It is illegal to shoot from the bank/dock. Law says you MUST be on a boat.
