- Have a good time.
What to bring:
- Valid Texas fishing license.
- Fishing poles and associated gear.
- Beach accessories for the family; water safety gear for children.
- Snacks and drinks.
- Filet knife and Ziploc bags – plan to clean your own fish, please.
- A cooler to bring fish home.

Suggested tackle:
Plan to fish for anything that can bite. Each fisherman should bring their own rod. Appropriate rods are medium-light to medium action (6-7ft long); surf-rods (8-10ft long), with either spinning or bait-casting reels (12lb test monofilament or 20-30lb test braided line is sufficient). If you choose to target larger fish, appropriate gear will be needed. We recommend putting fresh line on reels if you haven’t done so in the last few months.
