Numbskull is right on with his packing light advice. Don't overdue it. Think Willem Dafoe giving Charlie Sheen some advice in the Jungle in Platoon. "You're humping way too much, troop."

I know its probably personal preference by I've never been a big fan of Korkers compared to good felt soles in the rocks. I find Korkers make me more clumsy and limit my agility. I've taken more spills in Korkers in bubble weed than in felt boots due to getting hung up. If you're slipping with the felt boots then you're moving too fast and not paying enough attention to your footing. Also, korkers are contrary to the goal of traveling light. Always travel with a buddy as well.

I plodded all around Cutty without Korkers, just my felt soled waders and had no problems whatsoever. Korkers not needed IMHO, but if ya feel the need, ya do what ya need to do.

WHITE PLUGS

anything white, dannys,needles, white white white

Perhaps, but I suspect the fish are eating lobster and choggies in there as well. I've had pretty good luck with a 2.75 oz beachmaster needle in blurple, even when some moon is around. I suspect it imitates some of the darker food they hunt. Others I know do well with black and gold.

Well that should just fry his brain the rest of the way...

I just want to thank each and every one who contributed to this thread, it has been one of the more informative ones this entire summer, not only for Cuttyhunk but for any plugger. Thanks again all.

you ain't kidding
everytime I read these threads I go thru stuff again. but that's it, it's in the truck to stay.
I weeded out 2 plano boxes in 2 or 3 separate reorganizings and that's as far as I'm going

I have a beachmaster needle in blurple, I took it out last night I have the olive one in my plugbag.
my brain has short-circuited

now I have to decide whether or not to bring my korkers, if I do, I may not even use them but if I leave them, I will have needed them of course.

Oh man! Now I have to reorg my plugs coming to the island this weekend, as I still have too many - don't really need 9 pencils, but each one is slightly different -- and probably don't need a dozen spooks, or dozen needles, but the question is the big what if ........ hate to be without.

Slip....bring them anyway! If you decide you want them at least they are on island with you! Have fun you guys!
