STATE FISH OFFICIAL
HERE TO INVESTIGATE
OBSERVATION Of LAW;
Isabel Fishermen Declare Tram
mel Net Fishing on This Part of
Coast Is Not Practical

in this part of the country principally
the fishing industry at Point Isabel. Req
idents Of Point Isabel have been OBJ
jcctng TO the state law. prohibiting the
use Of "a drag seine within mile of the
coast during the months of June, July
aad August. The protest is based on the
assertion by Point Isabel fishermen,
that fish do not breed in the waters at
the Point due to the nature Of the coast
and that fishing with drag net will
not be detrimental TO the fish beyond
ordinary fishing at other times Of the
year.
Commissioner Boyd said that he had
no power TO do anything but investigate,
as the game laws were acts of the state
legislature and could be changed only by
acts Of the legislature. but in case an
investigation revealed the claims Of the
fishermen 10 be true. some action may
be brought about later
As the law stands now, strike, gill or
trammcl nets may be used any where
at any time. but drag seines may me US
ed outside a mile radius from the coast
during the summer months of June. Ju-
ly. and August Local fishermen declare
that fish are being shipped constantly
from Corpus Christi. Rockport and other
ports along the coast, and IL is claimed
by fishermen there that they use only
trammcl nets. Local fishermen declare
that fish cannot be caught in trammcl
nets on the bay here.
Brownsville is the biggest fishing port
along the Texas coast and many resi-
dents of Point Isabel depend entirely up
on fishing for their livelihood. For this
reason it j. urgently desire dthat Com
missioner Boyd investigate as soon as
possible and take some action in the
matter. The shipments here contain TO
as high as million and quarter
pounds annually.
The breeding and feeding habits of
MANY birds here viii be investigated by
Mr.. Boyd and Mr. Simmons in order that
those birds which eat valuable fish food
may he taken off the list Of protected
birds. If it proves that any Of them are
in this class.
In connection with the closed season
Mr. Boyd said "A law IL n law and there
is nothing | can do for the people but
Investigate and enforce the law. II will
take nm act OF the legislature to change
the law"
