Live shrimp works for everything. Fresh dead shrimp is ok. Sand fleas and live Croaker can also also good. Live shrimp under a popping cork works good for trout especially at daybreak. Head down Access Road 1-A and turn south (right). Look for a spot you like from there and set up. The beach gets crowded. Fish early. The further south you go sometimes it's less crowded.

Yes. Most bait shops will have frozen squid. Some gas stations carry bait also. Not sure which route your taking to get there but if your going through Corpus you can stop at Roys bait and tackle, Cosway or Red Dot Pier for bait.

Cast net is your friend. First gut and catch your bait.

Get you some fishbites and have fun anywhere on the beach! Get the double pack of cotton Cordell casting spoons and have fun! Anywhere south of access 1-a is good

I would not use a treble hook. Small kale would be better


Common carp 26
Goldfish 9.78lb
Mirror Koi 14lb
Koi 16lb
Channel Catfish 26lbs
Blue Cat 30lb

Use the fish bites either on a 2/0 circle hook or a sabiki rig.

Fish bites on these leaders. Work great and will catch everything from hardheads to redfish.

Any color will work. Youll also catch whiting which is great cut bait.
