Try it, but ya gotta remember, you are not self-contained.
They catch you nodding off even with a rod in the water, you is gone, and your sticker too. I've been going out there for several years, in a camper, and without. It is against the by-laws to use the dunes as your bathroom, remember watching the movie? Also, why would you want to, it's a nice place. Fishing, or anything else, for 72 hours out there will get old in a hurry, you will not have non-stop action.
They do have time books, and will come looking for you after 12 or so hours, they will figure out who you are, and monitor your actions. They might talk to you, might not. They might send you a summons in the mail, this has happened to others, for several different violations, mostly time over-stay issues. I know one individual who was fined $350, and had his sticker removed, and no re-issue for a 12 month period. And he was out the $ for the sticker, sorry, no refund.
So, it is up to you, if it is worth the risk, go for it. But, please for my sake, and others who truly love this resource, bring a chemical toilet, and use it, carry-in, carry-out. If I were you, I'd find a rental, and come and go as the tides were productive. Or, look into renting one of the beach camps out there... some of them rent, I hear they go for $150 a night...not a bad deal, seeing as Chatham bars gets twice as much, and there view, is you!
