Waterproof photo cards showing common Texas saltwater fish and sharks with current state fishing regulations and size limits.
This three-card set from Tackle Box I.D. helps Texas Gulf anglers put a name to what is on the end of the line, with true-to-life photos of 60 common saltwater fish and 17 sharks. Each species is paired with its Texas regulations, and a QR code leads to the state's fishing rules page. The cards are laminated plastic with rounded corners, so they can ride along on a boat, beach or pier trip.
