I need some help from the salt water folks. I have have the opportunity to chase blues on the LI Sound this August. Since I'm mostly a trouter I'm lacking gear. Can you guys recommend a rig, from terminal tackle to rod? What flies, wt & length leader, wt of line, length of casts, and length of rod? I don't need a specific rod recommendation, just generally what performance do you look for.

Thanks,
Daniel.
