Bob I only have neoprene waders and plan on using them. It does get cold on the island in June at night and you should be ok with them. As far as korkers go I do not have a pair and think they would be nice to own but for the amount of shore fishing I do they would not be worth buying. But for all that have them it would be a very good idea to bring them. We will be fishing the shore very slowly as not to miss a single rock so working up a swet should not be a problem.( only when fighting the big one) All of my fishing from shore was done without waders but then I was 18yrs younger and the water was not as cold
There are two ways to get to the west end the long way from Canapitsit on the east shore and working your way along the south shore to the pigs or a short walk from the house to the west beach and down the west shore to the Gosnel tower area. If you were to start at Canapitsit say at four you could fish your way to the west end by 12:00 midnight and be there for the best tide. I think this is what most will want to do but for anyone that just wants to hit the west end at the best tide you could go the other way and leave much later and still work the west shore to the pigs by 12:00.
