Texas Winter Boat Shows During the first few months of the year, Texas sees boat and fishing shows staged across the state. Although many Texas anglers fish year around, there are plenty of 'bad weather days' in January and February when shows offer a nice alternative to spending a day on the water. And, as most fishermen know, shows are often a good place to pick up good deals on boating and fishing equipment. Here's a sample of some of the most popular annual events held during the winter months in the Lone Star State.
