Fishing is as simple or as complicated as you want to make it. A boat, while nice to have, also isn’t a requirement. Some of the best anglers that I know have never owned one. Some boats have motors and electronics that cost more than most cars, yet an angler in a kayak without electronics can catch them just the same, and sometimes better.

Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has started its warm-season Neighborhood Fishin’ channel catfish stockings across the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, including Chisholm Park, a centrally located site serving anglers in Euless, Bedford, and Hurst.
