I take that as a vote for the SR ????the R

[catman]

....and if you're fishing the Tank it's 1 1/4 miles to the end of the pier not to memtion the trip back with a cooler full of fish.

Catman.:D

[Joey]

quit baitfishing, practice catch & release and you eliminate half of your load. ;)

[FL FISHERMAN]

Yeah ask Aero993 about bringing a pier cart!;) Hey Joey a man has got to eat sometimes right! I see you took home that tastey little striper you caught the other day.:D

[SALTSHAKER]

Didn't see bait listed. Saw nets, knives and cutting boards,,,no bait...

[catman]

Joey...I've always practiced C&R. I catch them and release them to my cooler.:D Most of the guys I know that practice C&R either don't like fish, they don't know how to cook them, or they don't like cleaning them.

Catman.;)

Surf Fishing Checklist......


Waht are we doing move out because the wife/girlfriend says we have too much fishing stuff or are we going fishing?

[Kayode]

You forgot the kitchen sink.

[Joey]

I have to take one home every now and then to appease the fishing gods, you know since it was an offering and all... :D

Catman,
You found me out. I hate cleaning them, but have no problem with filleting. :D

Kozlow, if I had to carry that much stuff just to go surf fishing, I would find another hobby. :)

I carry the following to the surf and I have all that I really need.

2 sand spikes- one PVC and one aluminum angle with the cup and bait cutting shelf. The metal spike telescopes into the PVC spike and both are tied to the cooler handle.

2 rods

1 cooler that holds a small tackle box, bait, knife, plier-tool, plastic bags and fishing rag. Cooler doubles as a seat.

That list sounds a whole like mine, but the "cart" I load all that into is a '92 full-size Bronco which follows me wherever I go on the Outer Banks of Carolina!! Otherwise the list is quite a bit shorter.

[catman]

Joey...Just kidding you a little. As much as I like to eat fish there are times when I release everything unless it's a trophy. I don't like cleaning them either. But right about now the freezer is just about empty of fish so I'll be keeping just about everything for a while.

Catman..

[FL FISHERMAN]

Hey catman hopefully we will fix that this saturday and maybe even sunday? What ya think? Let me know. Call me on Friday or I will call you. Been busy with the woman lately:rolleyes: You know how that is.:D

[FL FISHERMAN]

Joey was just messing with ya. I hear ya on the appeasing of the fishing gods! Hopefully they will shine on us this weekend.
:D

I think everyones list is close to being that large I found out how much stuff I needed when I started planning my Montauk trip and I'm not using a beach buggy.

[Thrifty Angler]

I'm in the process of refining my newest contraption. It does need a bit of cosmetic work. That will be done in the off season.

Wait a minute.....this seems like the off season.:jawdrop:

I'll post a pic when she is ready to be unveiled. Efficiency at it's best is all I can say about it right now.
