Lose the sand spike, and bug repellant (too cold I think) take fluidsand some food, nailclippers, something that can cut a hook and small first aid kit. That's just me, never used a spike with plugs. Wool socks and fleece pants should be enough.

Ditch the extra rod and travel light...get a good all purpose rod, one good for throwing plugs and also has a decent backbone for that "big fish" you might get into!  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Use your car/truck as a basecamp. take ONLY what you need when you leave yoru buggy. A couple plugs, and soft plastics is usually all i bring in my plug bag for weaponry. i also carry a spool of leader material, swivils, snaps, plyers, and a small knife. Thats it. back in my buggy, i have an extra reel, a slew of plugs, maybe an extra rod.
Right now my plugging rod is a GSB 1201-L with a 360 slammer.... the total weight is about 3 pounds 
The lighter you fish, the longer you can fish. |

Moving water
Alone/at night, I suggest a PFD. Especially if your going to stand in nay moving water. Remember at night you can't see what your stepping on, or very little of it. And what was said about the first aid absolutely, one with the anti septic chit in case the same hook you put in your hand was just impaled in a bluefish. Cell phone........in caes no one else mentioned that. And good luck.

Stick a spare neck light behind the plug inserts in your bag, or bring spare batteries and a spare bulb.
Take an extra shirt and pair of pants and keep them in the vehicle, so you don't have to drive home in your skivvies or bare-assed if you take an unexpected swim.
