Redsox you are correct about the bugs. This time of year you cannot fish the naps with out being completly covered, gloves and a head net is mandatory. If he had 2 rods with him left his gear on the rocks, got hit by a wave on top of being bitten to death he might have opted to leave the equipment and come back in the morning. The bugs are bad out there once they are on you if you dont have a head net you can't breath with out breathing them in. I personally like all black when I am fishing at night , my reel included. If you are going to dunk your reel on a consistsnt basis, deep wading/wetsuiting, a vs is a nice pc of equipment to have.
