Off to Cutty 9/10 -9/13, any last minute help?

[Surf Caster]

So I'm off to Cutty for the first time ever with my dad and brother this coming weekend and the anticipation is high!

So far from the search function I've gathered that I should bring every needle and surface swimming metal lip that I have along with food clothes korkers etc etc.

As far as location it seems like we should march to the southwest corner of the island and work back to the east along the beach.

looking forward to some quality time with my dad and little brother and hopefully to some quality fish.

any last minute pointers / or pieces of advice would be greatly appreciated.

oh, don't worry, we won't forget the advil.

Thanks in advance everyone!!!

SW corner is not the only spot. Explore bolder studded shoreline by day. But, don't exhaust your self by walking around the whole island. .

Head lamp and a spare, first aid kit, tape for finger if fishing braid, lots of extra leaders to carry with you, backpack. Eels are good, as is rubber. Don't take too many plugs. I usually end up using only 6-12 over the course of a three day trip. Pace yourself. Good luck.

head over to churches. Tom and i did ok there, the year we went. I'm with Ross on not taking too much stuff over. Bring eels, eelskins, some bombers, korkers, headlight or 3. It's like no place on Earth. Take plenty of pictures, i regret not doing that.

Try a darter fished very slow and shallow at night with lots of pauses and twitches.
Take a pencil, a danny, a bottle of water, some sun screen, a bathing suit or shorts and spend a morning poking around along the S shore rocks. You may be very surprised.
Consider a walking stick/wading staff.

Funny,,, sound like you might have done that,,,,

Seriously,,, Bone redfin, dark needles (Afterhours worked well last time I was there), couple darters, eels,,, and a GRS SLIM... If you have a black skin needle put a skin on it fish that too,,,

Gatorade powder, drink packets, skip water it is heavy and the water at the club is good right from the tap. Obviously bring what you plan on eating and drinking.

good luck

Walmart has some headlites for $5 single led
make good spares in a bag
If you are'nt swimming they work fine
I like to have another lite that I can hold in my hand for the sketchy spots.
If you ever have a lite die you will realize why you want at least one spare

It was a great trip, although the fishing was slow. Really loved every minute of our experience there.

I stuck 5 fish over the course of the 3 nights, the biggest being 12 lbs. The fish were extremely skinny, I guess they haven't started gorging yet!
