I'm looking for someone to perform an electrofish survey on a 2.5 acre pond between Woodville and Jasper. Any recommendations? Thanks.

I'm sure there's some ol boys over in Barlow Lake Estates that have some "telephone " equipment you can borrow…..

Get in touch with your local TPWD biologist. They will get you in touch with your regional TPWD inland fisheries biologist. They will sometimes do it for free.
Or contact the TAMU Agrilife Sciences Extension Service in your area. They assist in pond management as well.

Get yourself a battery, coat hanger, and some jumper cables.

Viola! You're now a non-TPWD biologist

Unless the policy has changed state biologist will just refer you to a private lake management service. Maybe they have biologists, like the Wildlife Division has, that will actually work with land/lake owners now. Even when I worked it was telephone consultation only with private lake owners. However, if a private lake was on the way that I was going I would often stop by.
