[VFB] . . . any advice for a NJ Shore trip?

[Jacob Raketich]

My family and I are planning a quick trip to Seaside Park NJ, to stay with some friends at their rented condo for a few days on the beach.  It is just one mile from Island Beach State Park.  I'm taking a borrowed 10 wt, and a few Clousers and Lefty's Deceivers, as I intend to sneak away from the family one or two mornings or afternoons and try my hand at some surf casting.  I'm also going to bring ( gasp!) a spinning set up just for the hell of it, and in case one of my buddies wants to come along.  A quick check of the fishing reports on a local shop's website ( www.bettyandnicks.com  ) tells me that they're catching small blues and some striped bass.    While its not going to be the utmost in fishing trips by any stretch, I hope to make the most of a limited opportunity.  As I look to you all as a source of advice, any would be welcome.
