you'll find the gear. A good 9'6"-10 ish rod with a medium heavy spin. I use the Penn 460 & 560. Fairly inexpensive and they hold up well.
A good headlamp. I pull it down around my neck. Get the one with three lights. the red bulb is the most used one.
Get a good plug belt that holds 6-8 plugs. You will rotate through and have a selection to reload depending upon where and when you are.
I find the nylon/neoprenes the best for walking and pissing. Korkers if you are on the rocks AT ALL !
Some way to bring water. The small collapsable hiking bottles are good. Two of them and you are good for a few hours. Sometimes I will carry a pack and can bring another rod/reel more tackle.
bring cutting pliers to solve any self hook issues.
Drink beers heavily before hand. Unless you've got one of those helmets it is hard to hold your drink and walk and cast at the same time. I gave up on it
Have fun. In the fall when it is too breezy to boat or it is night, it is the only way to go
