I second the DEET. The stuff I used comes from Australia. It's called BushMan and it does keep all the bugs away, but only if you apply it. Some days I didn't use and and got eaten by sand fleas and black flies. I got the sand fleas wading the flats right in front of the lodge also some mosquito bites. You'll see why the mosquitos are there.... Lot's of rain creates lots of standing water for them to breed in.
As for boots, I also rented a pair of Simms Flats Sneakers. They were pretty good when walking across the coral and the reefs. I have a pair of wading neoprene wading booties (zip up type) and was told that the coral could/would poke through the bottom
We did have a gal there with a pair of Simms wading booties and she had sore feet at the end of the day. You need to have something with a hard sole. First aid kit....next time I plan on taking one with me.
I'm heading back next year, hopefully for a hook up on some permit
Enjoy your trip... Where are you fishing
