I'm leaving for Turks and Caicos on May 3rd. It's actually a honeymoon, but I'm going to do a little bit of bonefishing. As you can imagine, this is not a "fishing trip," so I'm packing pretty light. I have a travel nine weight and a bar stock reel that I'm going to carry with me. I've never been bonefishing before, and I'll ultimately wind up going by McClellan's in Fayetteville for a few supplies before I leave.

There are multiple areas near where I'm staying that we can access by rental car where they have walk-in flats, and we'll likely hire a local at some point to take us to some of the more remote ones.

My question is, what do I need for a minimalist bonefishing setup? I'm guessing 9wt floating line, leaders tapering to 8lb, and 0x or 1x flurocarbon tippet. As far as flies go, I'm sure white and silver clousers are at least somewhat productive. I have proper clothing and shoes. What else do I need to know? Any advice is appreciated.
