The department has proposed
special bag and length limits for
largemouth bass on several Texas
reservoirs.
Officials said the bass limits are
tailored to the needs of each reser-
voir, and have the basic aim of
maintaining balanced fish
populations.
One of the lakes to be affected by
the proposed limits is Gibbons
Creek in Grimes County, whith is
scheduled to be open for fishing on
March 11, according to the Texas
Municipal Power Agency.
At Nacogdoches City Lake in
Nacogdoches County and Fayette
Power Project Reservoir in Fayette
County, the proposal would
Í/W Proposals Made
establish a "slot limit" wherein it
would be unlawful to retain bass
between 15 and 21 inches in length.
Bass less than 15 inches or longer
than 21 inches could be retained. A
daily bag limit of three and
possession limit of six also would be
in effect on the two lakes. The
current limits on Fayette is three
bass over 16 inches length per day,
six in possession.
At Tradinghouse Creek Reservoir
in McLennan County and Aquilla
Creek Reservoir in Hill County, the
proposal would set a -three bass per
day, 16-inch minimum length limit.

Lake Worth in Tarrant County
and Lake Fork in Wood, Rains and
Hopkins Counties would have a slot
limit of 14-18 inches Under the
proposal, with a daily bag limit of
five, possession limit 10. Lake
Calaveras at San Antonio and Mon-

addition on those lakes.
At Lake Brownwood in Brown
County, Coleman Lake in Coleman

Starr Counties, Lake Jacksonville
in Cherokee County and Lake Whit-
ney in Hill and Bosque Counties, the
department proposes a daily bag
limit of five bass (largemouth,
smallmouth or spotted bass in the
aggregate), possession limit 10, and
a minimum length limit of 14 in-
ches.
The standard bass limit on lakes
and streams not affected by special
lake regulations is 10 bass in the
aggregate per day, 20 in possession,
with a 10-inch minimum length
limit.
RECIPROCAL FISHING
AGREEMENT CHANGED
The reciprocal agreement bet-
ween Louisiana and Texas that
exempts residents of each state 65
years old and older from pur-
chasing a fishing license to fish in
the other state has been amended to
include persons under 16 years of
age.
Bob Kemp, director of the Texas
Parks and Wildlife Department's
Fisheries Division, said the amen-
dment, effective April 1, 1985,
means that in addition to persons 65
and older who are now covered un-
der the agreement, residents of
either state under 16 years of age
may also fish in the other state
without being required to purchase
a fishing license as long as they
have proof of age.

SBC Grows
Despite Drop
In Baptisms
Texas Baptists gained in 1984 in
the number of churches and church
members but showed a decline in
the number of people baptized by
the churches according to the
denomination's statistical services
department.
The number of churches in-
creased by 39 during the year to a
total of, 4,056 and mission
congregations increased from 781 to
805.
Totals were affected by the fact
that the Minnesota-Wisconsin
Southern Baptist Fellowship
became a state convention, and its
76 churches are no longer included
in the statistics of the Baptist
General Convention of Texas, said
Statistician W.E. Norman. Texas
Baptists have helped support
pioneer missions work in the two
northern states since 1956.
Baptisms reported by the chur
ches were down from 66,323 in 1983
to 62,581 in 1984.
Total membership of the 4,861
churches and missions grew by
39,000 to 2,361,089. Sunday School
enrollment grew by more than
23,000 to 1,267,780.
