I am planning a weekend surf fishing trip this weekend. Even with he storm in the gulf it looks like the wind through Sunday should be light. I am planning on taking out the Kayak and doing some trout fishing.

I am looking for some good places to possibly camp on the beach. Looking for a place where not too many folks might be. If I have to put in somewhere and then paddle to the camp site that would be fine too. I am completely new to this, and just looking for good spots to camp/fish for a few days.

I live in Houston, and am willing to drive south to about Matagorda area. If anyone else would want to meet up that is totally cool with me.

Well thanks for the info. I thought with the storm stalling down south there might be opportunity to do some beach camping somewhere. I did not know the tides were getting that high.

Guess I need an alternate plan. Wife and kids are gone. Need to find a place to take the kayak for sure.

Thanks for the tip on not beach camping. I ended up down at Matagorda. I camped on the bay side on some higher ground. In the morning around 3a there were a ton of people fleeing the beach that were on there.

So thanks for the tip, but where do I go to find how high the actual tide will be, and how do you interpret those numbers?

This is one website that I go to in order to look at tides. I typically just look at when high and low tide are, but I have no idea how to see how large the tide surge will be, and then once you know how high/low the surge will be how would you know if that is out of the norm?

Thanks guys.

I had a great kayak trip to East Bay yesterday. Launched at Stingaree, bought a pint of live shrimp and peddled just past the entrance to the bay. Caught 2 to 3 dozen specks (most undersize), drum, sand trout and croakers. It was a great catching trip.
