My rule of thumb is two bring at least two of everything. Especially in the Fall. It sucks taking a few hour cat nap and then have to slide into wet gear.
I had the radiocaratotomy done so I don't have to worry about glasses or contacts. I think it was 5,000 an eye back in 1993. However my vision has since declined, so maybe switching to contacts is the best bet.
Another trick I like to use is to help people out as much as possible on the beach. ie: help someone get unstuck, lend out tackle, or maybe give a helpful tip or two. I have found that the good Karma comes back to you in the form of big fish.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I am not a deeply religious person but I have found if I say a quick Hail Mary as I pass the statue of her on the side of the MA Pike, I always have a more productive trip. And I absolutely swear by that one.
