Yes. And the surf is perfect today.

Yes, trout are on the beach front. The earlier the better for them, but you rarely get fishable days early. April/May is when you catch the big girls in the surf.

We had a north wind this morning. Should have had the surf knocked down this morning and very fishable. When I lived in Brazoria county it was lights out in May when we had a north wind and flat surf. Daylight top waters could be on fire.

Back when Sabine had salt water, a buddy of mine hooked into the big old sow trout. Shark got it about an inch behind the gills. What was left weighed 4 lbs.

I do not like sharks and I no longer wade fish the surf cause of them. Had a 6 plus footer right on top of me one time that intimidated the crap out of me. I cut loose my stringer full of trout and got the heck out of the water to never return again. Op - Catch that slight north wind and go tear em up.

The Trout are there but the bull sharks are moving in now that the water is so warm..
To bad the wind didn't lay 2 months ago.. I hate Bull sharks..

I had a shark grab some trout on a stringer, when I was fishing on the back side of Mustang Island, around Fish Pass. That got my attention. I thought a buddy was messing with me, yanking on the stringer. But he was on the other side of me, so it was not him. We got up on a sand bar as quick as possible. We lost two trout before getting out of waist deep water.

I have wade fished a lot since then, I still worry more about sting rays than sharks. But farther up the coast around Port Lavaca, I would worry more about sharks than I do down around Red Fish Bay, Aransas Bay, Copano Bay, Nueces Bay and Corpus Christi bay areas.

I have seen numerous sharks while fishing in the surf, and while swimming in the surf, on both Mustang Island and North Padre.

Can I get a tackle and tips segment?
