Patrick,

I ain't no expert. Just my $0.02.

Think south side. Think white water.

You're gonna have to hoof it and wade out to rocks in chest high water.

Bring

1) Bucktail jigs. White. 1 1/2 ounce. Bring red and yellow matching porkrinds. Best at first light.

2) Darters (just like you would in Rhody).

3) Yellow super strike bottle plug for Shagwong.

4) Pencil poppers and tins for day.

5) Suitable eel hooks and fluoro leader. And eels - try to bring some with you they are more $$$ in Montauk.

6) Alberto will tell you to bring any weighted rubber shad (storm wildeye, etc). Pogie pattern, 5 inch.

7) Swimmers of all kinds (olive).

8) ***Small Habs olive needlefish. Blurple and blue too.***

This is going to be some very wet fishing, and you'll get pushed off of rocks by waves (more so than you would at FPR - imagine FPR multiplied by 10,000 - that's Montauk). Korkers are a must, as is a waterproof flash light. A snug top like the Aquaskinz evolution really pays for itself there. Pliers and belt too.

A beefy stick is a must (9-10 footer) with a water proof reel. Folks there fish Van Staals for good reason.

Don't carry more than one plug bag out with you to rocks at a time, trust me you'll lose one if you carry two. Hopefully you won't be far from the sand sled.
