whats this life time one?

Oh yes you do!! You must have your fishing license on your person " anytime " you are fishing, period. The GW can look it up using your DL, but he can also ticket you if you dont have it on you if he wanted to.

anybdyhere well i guess we were lucky then. i always took that as if i wanted to tag a fish i needed it on me and if i didnt care i would be fine.

good warden - some might not do that though

You're supposed to have it on your person, I've seen a game warden not let a guy wade 25 yards back to his car, to get his license...

But yeah, that looking it up on the license is nice of him.

If you log onto TPWD's system for an online purchase (you have to sign up, but aren't required to purchase anything) the home page will tell you (a) what license(s) you have and (b) effective dates. Here's a link to start:

Correction to my last. Once you get signed up, you have to click "View Active Licenses".

I just figured it out. The cost for a super combo today is $68. It's going to go up.

At today's prices the $1800 will take 26.5 years to get your money's worth. After that, it's all gravy.

Guess I should save up to give it to my kid as a present when he turns 18.
