Hi there SturgeonKid,
What area of the island are you going to? I noticed a lot of nice beaches on the inside near two harbors. I think I saw some boy scouts camped on the beach and a couple of small inflatable there a month or so ago.
As gvanzant said, there should be some nice fishing for all kinds of fishies. Those smaller guys are usually willing biters too. Don't forget that there are opaleye there too that just love green peas. I assume that most of the people wanting to fish are just looking for a simple bite.
I heard scouts had a fishing merit badge. I was thinking of taking the bus from Avalon to the two harbor bay camping ground on the inside but as there is no water there I'd have to pack a lot to stay a couple of days. I heard it can get really hot down by the beach with steep slopes at your back.
Hope you have a chance to take some light tackle gear with 10 or 12lb line and a bunch of plastics.
