Well, an 8wt is a bit of overkill, but so what. OTOH, if you've got a
sinktip or sinking 5wt, I'd opt for that rig. You won't be doing any
distance casting, per se. The sand bass and spotted bass that you'll
be bothering ain't that big, but in the salt water, you never know
what'll be cruisin by.

For a fly, think heavy, #2 - #4, heavy, root beer brown, heavy,
lotsa flash, heavy. Frank's Fightin' Craw, tied on a spark plug,
with some extra sparkle oughta be just about right.

Well, I'm tying up some flashy streamers that have the same weight
wrapped on them as the infamous rotten banana fly. Just gotta figure
out how to cast these things.
