Heading to the Big O in three weeks

[Shellback]

This will be my first trip back in about 3 1/2 years, since I moved to S.E. PA. I have sold all my spoons, flashers and flies, so I need some help on what to pick up for my trip. There will be 2 of us, so we can run 4 rods. I've got a pair of Big Jon electrics, and some dipsys. So I'm looking for hints on flasher, fly combos, and spoons. The dipsys will be run off of braid, sold my wire outfits too. At present we are planning on camping at Selkirk Shores and fishing Mexico Bay, but leaving an option of camping at Fair Haven and fishing around there. We will be arriving on the 10th of Sept and fishing that afternoon and Sat and Sun. Is Frenchy still at Fat Nancy's? He was always a great help with what was hot and what was not. Would anybody like to recommend some baits, and if I should order ahead of time, or just pick up the stuff when I arrive. Hate to show up and all the hot baits are sold out. I'll be fishing out of a 19 foot Starcraft Superfisherman. Thanks!
