I'm headed to Belize this Friday for 2 weeks and am planning to do something similar - spin fish along the shore, from piers or from kayaks, for bone, permit, tarpon, snook or anything that might bite (see my post of last week). As I am a novice ocean fisherman and not a fly fishing guy, I picked up a cheap 6' Ugly Stick 4-piece pack rod from Wholesale and some 15 lb. PowerPro line. I then packed a small plastic container with an assortment of spoons, raps, jigs, soft plastics, wire leaders, hooks, and weights, along with a small knife and pliers. "Tube" lures were recommended for Barracuda, but I chose not to bother trying to make some up (I might regret this). Hopefully I'll have some success.
Good luck!
