Good morning fellow TFFers. Quick question for all you salt water guys. I have a group of non fisherman that I am taking fishing for a co-worker. It's his sons 17th birthday and he wanted to go fishing, so my co-worker, his 18 year old son, 3 16 year olds and myself are gonna be on the water at first light Sunday morning. Surfside and Texas City are about the same distance from us. Where would you take this group? I am very experienced in the salt,(bay and surf)but the other 5 have never fished before. Already got them all set up with gear - spinning rods, popping corks, fish finder rigs - just basic stuff. I need to put them on some fish, be it whiting, trout, anything that will fry up really. Where would you go? I always seem to do well in the surf and two trips to the dike have resulted in about 6 trout total with about a thousand little croakers and hardheads. My only issue with Surfside is the fact two of the vehicles going are sedans (I have a 4x4 Xterra so pulling them out if stuck is an option) and the fact of newbies dealing with the waves. I know the surf is supposed to be very minimal Sunday. Let me know what y'all think. Thanks in advance.
