Cape question

I'm coming up to the cape in July. What wood should I bring?
Size/color would be helpful. I want to start making some stuff just for this trip.

Thanks

Needles should be good as will Danny type plugs and PP Poppers. The mung should be in here by then though on the outer beaches ( dang seal poo helps it grow faster!) Yozuri Tobimarus work well to.

Why even try.........

What part of the Cape? Beach or boat (assume beach)? Needles were hot last year, especially in a rolling surf. Swimmers too. Colors? Mornings: yellow and pink (yeah pink). Night: blurple and black. Tin during the day.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

yellow gs rubber and pearl gs rubber. unweighted and useing a 3/4 oz lead head.
in the am a best bet is a solid yellow plug or solid white worked on top as in danny's or maybe pike's worked on top
needles at night and bombers in various colors.
You will need to figure out the color and how to work the plugs to get the bass to hit.
dont forget the big GS rubber in dark colors unrigged on top alternateing between needles and the rubber. or slugo's unrigged also.
as far as the pikes at sun up, if they don come on to them swap out to the danny's and then book it to medium pencils.
You can use tin but for the most part the wood will put You on big fish
ask fish wee wee
Tin = blues however a castmaster at night is killer an I have taken bass over 40 lbs on them at night along with My buddy Mike
you need to zone in on how they want it and when to swap out.
Me thinks pink bombers are gonna be good this year, But bear in mind I live here and have thousands of lures and my truck is a tackle box.
dont forget a chrome and black bomber, these are killer. along with another color at night
