I'm heading there in a couple of weeks for a family vacation. I would like to get in some fishing but I'm just about illiterate when it comes to saltwater fishing. I'm not sure I want to invest the money on a guide, but I would be willing to rent a kayak. I usually fly fish fresh water streams here in Texas, but I don't mind breaking out the spinning gear if that's what it takes. A part of me won't even mind getting skunked, but I would like to have some sort of plan. Can anyone here help me out with that plan?

Thanks for anything you can provide.

If you are just wanting to wet a line, then fish off the beach front. When we go down there, while the rest of the family is playing in the sand and surf, I wade down 30 or 40 yards away from everybody and catch whiting and such in the surf.

Just takes a bag of dead shrimp, a hook, weight and a cheap rod and reel.

I may do that too, but mostly I'd like to try my luck in the bay
