How do you plan on fishing? Shore? Boat?

Pull out the trout rods. . .
buy berkley gulp bait cammo sand worms, 1/4 egg sinkers, #6 mosquito hooks (carolina-rigged)....
toss them out to the surf....
Catch and release/keep as many surf perch as you can...

You may even catch spot & yellow fin croaker, corbina, ?

It's an almost guaranteed method to catch. Besides, once the kids are done, they can dig in the sand. Or you fish and hook up and have the kids reel them in.

Santee lakes. No fishing license required.

My kid hangs onto a boogie board tied onto the back of my PA when I hit la jolla. The extra drag isn't too bad but I gotta make room for the bait tank.

Agee. Kids have short attention spans. I've had mixed results with lake fishing. After 30min no bites, my son was bugging the other anglers and just bored. Surf fishing, there's plenty for them to do. Give them a bucket and have them dig up sandcrabs. When you get a perch on, have them reel it in. In that area, I've had fun at Cassidy. You might need to go up a bit on your egg sinker, like 1/2 or 3/4. Also, warn kids about surf and not turning back to the surf. Have fun!

Hey, I didn't consider the big wave conditions that south facing beaches are experiencing this weekend. Salt Creek was pumping, I can only imagine how big surf is down south.

With waves like that, there will be a lot of water moving maybe some sneaker sets which could be trouble for the little ones. ALso, likely pretty hard to get a fish on the line with those types of conditions.

I'd nix my idea only cause of the surf size.
