IMPORTANT, some things are going to be mandatory for this trip. Everyone will need a working VHF radio and charger. a compass, polarized sun glasses, two night lights. The radio and charger and compass, are for getting home. It is easy to get lost in the mangroves. Because most of the waters are 20-25 feet deep a good set of POLARIZED sunglasses are a must, not only for glare but to spot fish and sand bars.........The two sets of night lights should include spare batteries. One set for camp and one for your yak.

A GPS would be good as most have your track so you could get back to camp easier. A tarp would help keep your gear dry at night as dew and fog are prevalent in Mag Bay. Maybe a stake out pole for the flats, if not then an anchor would be nice. Tides and channels create currents and there will be times when you want to stay in one spot. Fishing the mangroves a longer spare gaff might just save that grouper who tangled in the roots.

Expect to catch tons of bay bass, some areas over 30 an hour, corvina and WSB, then there are pargo, pompano, halibut, Grouper to 50 pounds and SNOOK.
