New To Surf Fishing - Just Moved To Houston

I have grown up fishing all over the Southern Texas Coast. The one type of fishing I have never done is surf fishing. We no longer have a boat, so surf fishing seems like a great option for me. Now that I am close to the coast again I plan on making it to the beach at least once a month.



I bought two 12' ugly stick rods and put my two penn 7000 spinning reels with 20lb test on them. Also bought two surf rod stakes, some 4 oz sputnik weights and made some leaders with 5/0 circle hooks. I am assuming this will do?



A few more question:



Would cut mullet be the best bet year round?



How would you fish live mullet if I am able to cast net them?



I have a sedan, and cannot go in many places on the beach, so where can I go to get away from the crowds? Looking for places within 90 minutes of SE Houston.



Is the seaweed still terrible? We went 3 weeks ago and it was not enjoyable for the women.



I have a 9wt fly rod and just bought some charteuse and white clousers and a sand flea fly. What is the best way to fish the surf this time of year? What all is catchable? Should I use a stripping basket? How far out?



What is the best leader to use? I made a few out of 20 lb fluorocarbon with two dropper loops for the hooks and tied the weight at the end.



Any other tips that might help me catch some fish?



I will be in Port A for 5 days over the fourth, so looking forward to surf fishing at night during the trip!
