Theres a great MWR on base. They rent out boats, kayaks ,fishing rods,tents and a lot of stuff, super cheap for the military. Ask the guy over there that runs it ,Scotty, about fishing. I sure he'll be a great help.
Dimmitt Pier used to be good for taking kids. There us to be trout and a bunch of sand trout. Go out the south gate and down about 3 streets to the left and turn. Follow the road that take you down by the water. It's not that hard to find, Good luck!!! Laughing

Right after I left this evening the neighbor kid that was down there with us caught a nice bass. I have pictures but nowhere to post them yet. I will look into posting them tomorrow. If anyone wants them emailed let me know.

porkchop, I grew up fishing all over NAS, starting when I was about the age of your youngest. The first thing I'd do is get some PFDs for the kids, because so many of the places we fished were steep drops into deep water. Haven't been on-base in forever, though, so I don't know what's open and what's not any more, but there used to be pretty good fishing anywhere off the tip and west side of the Officer's Pier, a long concrete structure near Dimmit Island, which hasn't actually been an sland since before I was born, but lies at the extreme NE end of the base and separates Corpus Christi Bay from the the part of the Laguna Madre called the Boat Hole. That Dimmit Pier someone mentioned earlier in the string sticks out into the Boat Hole, while the O Pier sticks into CC Bay.

Get yourself some fresh dead shrimp and have the kids dink along the edge of the O Pier, where they're sure to catch a lot of pinfish, if nothing else. You can help them catch and release those all day, and/or you can cut one up for bait and cast it out a ways near the pier's tip for sand trout.
Whatever you do, congratulations for introducing your boys to a hobby they'll love all their lives, and for loving them enough to share your time with them at that age. Catch a bunch, guys! Very Happy

THE SMALL PIER BY THE MARINE IS ROPED OFF BECAUSE SOME OF THE LEGS OR PILINGS HAVE FALLEN. BUT THE LIGHTS STILL COME ON AT NITE AND THE SPECKS AND SANDIES SEEM TO ALWAYS BE THERE CHASING SHRIMP. I HAVE FISHED THE SEA WALL IN THE PAST AND CAUGHT REDS AND DRUM ON DEAD SHRIMP GOOD LUCK.

That's a bass alright. I have caught them in brackish water before, during a duck hunting trip in southeren Louisiana. We hunted in the morning and caught bass and redfish in the afternoon. We had to fend the alligators off; they wanted a piece of our spinner baits!

Interesting, I didn't know we had the conditions to support gamefish in brackish water that is fresh enough to support bass.

I know in Clear Lake, I lived on the north end, right where Clear Creek runs into Clear Lake, and you could catch anything fresh or salt water right there. Cool stuff.
