I find myself with a spare week and am thinking of going to either Mustang Island or Galveston Island state park. I will be sailing with my wife and two little kids. We are quite competent on our well rigged TI. That said, we have never been on the ocean. I have heard that the fishing at Mustang Island is better, and that matters to us, however, it looks to me like it would be very hard to get into Corpus Christie Bay, from the Gulf side, where you camp. Does anyone have any recommendations as to where we should go? We do this a lot on lakes, and we typically sail/ fish 8-10 hours a day. Are we likely to have big trouble surf launching? We are tough, but have absolutely no salt water experience. I really would like to sail in and out of our camp every night, and not transport the TI by truck. Our only navigation is a lowrance elite-7, with 16 hours of battery capacity, and our iPhones. We have no analog nav skills, and won't be getting any this week. Any help or advice would be very much appreciated.
