Thanks for the advice. I noticed from the pictures no waders, would you bring them next time? Also I intend to travel light so only one rod, would you go with 9 or 10' to throw topwater stuff.

We brought our waders and had every intention of using them....but with all the walking we did scouting the island out (walked no less than 10 miles over the entire place) we would have sweat our butts off! Next time we go we will carry our waders in a bag and put them on at the spot we choose to fish. More night fishing next time......day fishing was great though when we found them! Where are you staying?

Oh...forgot....bring korkers! As for rods....bring 2 (in case you have an accident and break a guide) but bring a heavy rod....one you can keep a big fishes head up with....all those rocks will break you off quick if you can't keep its head up. I used a 1205 Arra cut to 9 1/2 feet.

I'm only going to be able to get one day in as I'm going to be on a vacation with the family in Falmouth. I've heard so much about the place that I really just want to see it and If I get a few fish that will be a bonus.

Just one day...fishing daylight hours? No waders, one stout rod, lots of topwater plugs.....pencil poppers, swimmers and try to get some of the Afterhours junior spooks that you see in that thread....as you can see my buddy Don hammered fish with them....we got about 100 strikes each, he on his junior spook and me on my pencil poppers. Walk the beach, toss them to where you think it looks fishy and keep moving....search as much water as you can cover.

50 pound flurocarbon leaders also.
