Think about what you would like to do, such as learning a new technique(dropshotting, deep water football jig dragging etc.) I would check with the guides you talk to to see if how you would like to fish is actually working when you get there. Also, talk about whether you can fish for quantity or quality. You will probably have to wait until that day to know the best pattern, but you might be able to spend an hour or 2 looking for a big fish, then go fill the boat with keepers. Bill Beck can teach you many things.
