I would advise against the bronco jacket. While I've never seen one firsthand, I know they're made of neoprene which is unbearably hot in all but the coldest months of the year. You're better off with a lightweight pullover of some sort or a gore-tex wading style jacket with neoprene or lycra cuffs. These are much more comfortable for May-November fishing and can be layered underneath for cold days.
I dont fish the canal, but I can say that a wagon loaded down with 5 rods is overkill for any surfcasting location. Even when I drive oversand and have several rods in the rack, I usually only use two at the most. A good rule of thumb, all of your gear should be carried on you, with your rod in one hand and the other free. If you cant take it that way, you dont need it.
