Dry bags are not always DRY! Don't trust them
Almost far enough is usually not far enough up on the beach especially if you stop and drink a beer.
Larger vessels don't give a $hit about you so make sure they know your out there by any means neccessary.
$11.25 (West Marine), what it cost to equip with bungies to keep rods from falling out.

good points there raymond with the boats. My brother in law lost hundreds of dollars tippin his yak over.

Also make sure you have the necessary items for water/boating compliance and regulations. Gaudy orange life jackets suck but they are visible to vessels. Whistle, horn, or some type of signaling device is something to think about.
