Guys, I'm needing some locale info so that I CAN post a report....

My daughter's flying down late Oct. (20-26th). I'd like to take her and the two boys overnight on the beachfront just South of Bob Hall Pier and do some long rodding for a couple days or three. Any words of wisdom and/or suggestions would be very welcome. Might even bring my two surfboards.

Not real familar with the area. Only went once (see avitar) and when I did go there was 2-3 feet of seaweed lining the beach (year ago last April).

Any safety concerns, etc. for doing a couple nights down there? Can we do a campfire on the beach.

Thanks.

South of Bob hall is now open, the water is perfect and the weed is gone.
Not too much beach damage there,the fishing is supposed to be good last i heard.
By that time in Oct you should be getting some decent red action.

Pm me if you need some more info

I have heard that people are catching 24-26 inch reds in the surf along big shell/little shell. Check out texas parks and wildlife website for info on the national seashore south of Bob Hall Pier. I have seen many travel trailers there, but make sure you have a 4x4 if you are driving down there.

If you go south of bob hall stay north of the Kleburg county line.. Other than that fishing is great.. Campfires are indeed allowed..
