Hey Andy, remember too that you will be fishing some brackish water (with salt in it). I would rinse off everything once you're finished fishing and even clean and lube reels when you get back, or down there if you can. I know the salt content isn't extremely high unless you're fishing in the ocean, but all the water in that particular area does have salt in it. If you don't clean them you can really do damage to bearings, the gears, and even the finish of the reel. Most of it will be "pitting", but even something as small as this will cause your bearings and gears to be really noisy. If not cleaned immediately, it can really break down working parts in your reels. Just thought I would remind you.
