Is there a good resource for surf fishing gulf coast “how to” for beginners?
I go to Galveston, TX in three weeks and I want to try my luck at surf fishing. I was a bass, crappie, catfish and fisherman all my life, but have no experience in salt water. I do not know a prophet of doom a snapper if it bit me on the barnacle. Info on the rig, bait, casting distance, etc. would be particularly useful. Fisheries of the wave can be a joyful experience. Make sure you pack all that you normally if you were at camp, ie, insect repellent, first aid, fresh water, plus some other things to make it comfortable as shade, chairs, tablecloths and extra food. If you plan to surf wadefish on shuffle on your feet to avoid stepping on any unwantingly thing. If you target a specific species such as redfish, spots, or shark ask the local people in baitshops what the fish are biting on. You can use shrimp, mullet, perch pig, shad, stingray, thin, and virtually anything you can find live or dead bait shop -.
