Taking a cruise in about a month...

One stop is a beach day on a "private island". One option there is to rent a rod (or maybe bring my own collapsing rod).

"Island" is Princess Cay. Shallow water.

I was thinking of bringing some jig heads and DOA/Zman curly tails in white/chartreuse and silver.

No treble hooks for me... I have too much trouble taking them out of a fish without hooking myself.

Any other lure suggestions.... Want small, easy to pack stuff.

I was told bonefish are not common in the area. Leaning towards a light, segmented rod and a 2000 reel with 10lb braid... Barracuda would tear that up.

The smaller ones would be fun on that rig, just do not cast to big ones. I catch little ones in canals in Florida with Mirrolures, use a short wire leader or it gets expensive fast.

Too much to pack... Sure will not be bringing a cast net, as I can't use it anyway. And my collapsible rod is light.
