Try out the beach first on Mustang Island or Padre Island if it's calm enough. If you go to fish at Mustang Island State Park, you won't need a license once you pay the fee to get in the park ($5 for adult). Also try the Packery Channel Jetties, Bob Hall Pier and/or Fish Pass on HWY 361. You could also venture north on 361 to Port Aransas and fish the South Jetty, Caldwell Pier or the beach. Look for white flags flying at the baitshops if you're interested in Live Shrimp or you can soak some bait shrimp on the bottom just to get a tug. If you throw lures, the usual plastics you throw and topwaters will suit you just fine. You'll need a beach pass to drive and park on the beach ($12) and you can get them at most convenience stores near the beaches. Not sure what an out of state license costs. Check out TPWD website.
Hope this helps....... Good luck!
