Shark regulations are updated and can be very confusing. Pick up a guide at the Texas Parks & Wildlife. Texas Parks & Wildlife are looking to hire about 25 more Game Wardens for the border area. "Little Fishin Tips" with Captain John Little This weeks tip is polarized sun glasses. When you fish be sure to get polarized sun glasses which will allow you to see the grass lines and sand pockets. They'll take the glare of the water surface and allow you to see into the water. Schools of redfish are very difficult to see with-out polarized sun glasses. With-out polarized sun glasses you have a great big headache at the end of the day.
