Dave,
There is a fine line between having a bass hooked or the bass having its way with you. Bring the heavier outfit. When I go to the island it's all business - plenty of gin mills back at home - this is big cow water - make the best of your time. The north bar can be very good but you need to be cautious as waves come at you in both directions - one second the water will be ankle deep and the next it will be up to your waste. IMO the north rip can be effectively fished from the dry part of the bar and much safer - don't linger too long if no action.
Don't forget a first aid kit with hook cutting pliers and drink plenty of water. One more thing... make an appointment now with your doc because after your trip you'll have a good chance of contracting block island fever. Have a great time.

I got that,,, Just had someone mention a commando trip this Friday,,, can't wait,,,
we're gonna look at that North rip area, just a peak. I'm aware of my surroundings at all times and if it doesn't look or feel safe, I just keep moving to the next spot, no fish is worth dying for. Hell, there's some spots in SoCo that give me the willies, I cant fish like that. DZ sent ya a PM.
