Much Fun and Fishing on the Beach

[Garfish]

Went to the beach in Galveston yesterday with my 6 year old daughter, bro in law, and 5 & 7 year old nephews. Waves were 1-2 ft and clearing up nicely. Didn't get there till 10:00 but I was able to step out to the 2nd sandbar while the kids played on the boogie boards and in the sand. I threw an H&H TKO Shrimp in blue moon /chartreuse under a poppin cork. Caught 3 keeper trout and a few dinks. When the kids were ready to fish, we hooked up the Zebco 202's and fished the bottom w/ bait shrimp and it was a fish almost every cast. Mainly it was channel mullet/whiting, croakers, small pompano, rat reds and small puppy drum. Those kids had a blast and those small fish fought great on that light tackle. I was kept busy baiting hooks, re-tying hooks and taking off fish. We added about 12 nice channel mullet/whiting from 12 - 16 inches to the mix (don't know how many we caught and released, but it was a bunch).
It ended up being very productive considering we were just there to play.
