Fishing Tips for Beginners:When are the fish biting?

Even though I have been fishing, probably over one hundred times since I was a kid, I consider myself a beginner. I have to admit, I went fishing, but I wasn’t there to catch fish, I was there for the fun of hanging out with friends, and the party that often followed, so, I am posting these things to help myself as well as any other “beginner”. This information is available at the Texas Parks & Wildlife website, I am posting bits here, just to help you find the rest of it there. I hope they don’t mind. Visit that website, there are many tips, and much valuable information available there, it is a great website!
