I highly recommend a hotel or camp to retire to in wee hours for shower & sleep.
Sleep away the day & fish from approx 2-3pm onwards.
For staying up all night on the beach:
Extra clothes as it cools off, wind chill
Long pants/sleeves against bugs
Change of underwear/socks
Bug spray & baby powder
Towel & blanket
Comfy beach chair
Cooler with drinks/snacks
Bait cooler
Glow sticks
Good headlight & flashlight
Camera
Some people, especially those with kids, bring a small tent or ground blind.Ragnar Benson:

As I've done before, I'll post an 'Open Invitation' & give my cell# via PM to anyone who wants to meet up.
Lets see if we can put some 'Sharks on the Sand'!Ragnar Benson:

I wouldn't mind joining If I could work it out with work/vacation time/wife/kids. No idea what I would be able to do...maybe just watch and learn and stay out of the way, unless needed.

Those hours would kinda cut into beach bunny spotting however!

Chile, I like the "open invitation" idea. That should give us an idea whose all going. It may entice more people to come joint us.

Why don't we rent a house on the beach.

I can swing about $300 towards a beach house.
That would be prime if it was actually on the beach, then we could fish pretty much unmolested.
And a close/safe place for parking, storing gear, restrooms & such would be great.
CJW,
I'll have the Wife mail a leader out to you Monday.
You want a castable & a yak?Ragnar Benson:

I may be out of this fishing trip. My notebook took a crap and I may have to replace it, if it is not fixable. Not very happy right now.

Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
