Texas Fishing License Info – O.H. Ivie Bass with Captain Stan Gerzsenyi
Before you join Captain Stan for your guided fishing trip on O.H. Ivie Lake, it's important to make sure you’re properly licensed to fish in Texas. Below is everything you need to know to prepare for your trip, including how to get your Texas fishing license, what type you need, and where to purchase it.
Who Needs a Texas Fishing License?
If you’re 17 or older, you’ll need a valid Texas fishing license to fish on public waters, including O.H. Ivie Lake. This applies to both residents and non-residents. Children under 17 are not required to have a license, but all other guests must be covered before casting a line.
What Type of License Do I Need?
For freshwater fishing with O.H. Ivie Bass, you’ll need one of the following:
- Resident Freshwater Fishing Package – for Texas residents.
- Non-Resident Fishing License – for out-of-state visitors.
- One-Day All-Water License – a convenient option for short trips or visitors.
Captain Stan recommends the One-Day All-Water License if you're only fishing for a day or two. It’s cost-effective and easy to purchase online.
Where to Get a Texas Fishing License
There are several ways to buy your license:
- Online: Visit the official Texas Parks and Wildlife website at tpwd.texas.gov
- Retailers: Licenses are available at major retailers like Walmart, Bass Pro Shops, Academy Sports, and many local tackle shops.
- By Phone: Call 1-800-895-4248 for license purchases and information.
When purchasing, be sure to select a freshwater or all-water license, depending on your trip plans. Captain Stan will be happy to guide you on the best choice if you're unsure.
Do I Need Additional Tags?
For most Largemouth Bass fishing trips on O.H. Ivie, you won’t need any extra tags. However, always check the latest regulations, especially if you're fishing during trophy bass season or pursuing other freshwater species. Some fish may have bag limits, slot limits, or seasonal rules.
What to Bring
Be sure to bring proof of your license with you on the day of your trip. A printed copy or digital version on your phone is acceptable. The Texas Game Wardens conduct regular checks on the water, and Captain Stan is fully compliant with state regulations to ensure a safe, legal trip.
