We always throw in a jug of water in case it overheats...

Sounds like you have it covered. I did my first trip out with no experience. Just air down and have fun. Kind of like driving on marshmallow fluff

Last year was my first year with an oversand pass. It feels a little odd the first time you are driving on the sand in the middle of the night. I found my self changing spots on the beach more than I should have because it was so much easier to move around. Like others said just use your head.

I Hope it helps you access some good fishing. Good luck!

Blazers go real good on the sand. Don't even think about not airing down.

I would suggest you bring a board or two to wedge in front of your tires in case you get stuck in the sand. Also, look out for teenagers. They're something to be scared about, the way they speed and don't pay attention. (And yes, I'm sure there are some old people who do the same thing and not all teenagers do...but this is what I've seen, gimme a break on the PC stuff)

The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.

Full tank of gas and drive as straight as possible. Turning sharp corners could possibly dig you in. Have fun and watch out for sleeping bags on the beach and the incoming tide.

If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles.

18 lb's for air down max..go 12 if soft.

4 low if you have it.

anyone coming OFF the beach has the right of way..pull off the track or in some case's back up till you find some side room when it comes to driven on a single lane in any dune's.

NO sharp u's..you can roll a tire off the rim.then you'll break your leg tryin to kick yourself in the butt.

BOAT fish do count.
