I change the contents frequently and I mainly am a night fisherman. If I went during the day I have a different bag with totally different stuff (mainly surface plugs and tin and some rubba)

For night trips I keep 2 bags in my vehicle (and a storage bag of plano boxes filled with stuff...A large one (surfcaster pic below) and a small one (aquaskinz, not shown)

But as of this moment in the large one:

1 12" Habs needle 4.3 oz
1 9" Habs needle 3.2 oz
1 7" Habs needle 2.0 oz
1 8.5" Beachmaster needle (3 oz)

1 Bernzy surf howdy
1 Bernzy pike
1 Slamo Fatso
2 megabait minnow (7")

Leader wallet with about 1 doz leaders (6 with clips 6 with circle hooks for eels) spare swivels, hooks and clips, finger protector.
spare light

I also keep about 5 or so plano boxes in my truck loaded with plugs should I need something different. I do swap things out almost every night .

In my small bag I have just 5 or 6 plugs and some metal:
1 custome wooden metal lipped swimmer (BM)
1 salmo minnow
1 Habs needle
1 gags herring
1 megabait jb150
1 castmaster 4 oz
1 megabait jig 3oz
1 diamond jig
2 megabait bucktails
donmar pliers.


When I walk the beach for any distance I mainly use the small bag and usually swap plugs based on the spot I am fishing.

I take the big bag when I plan to work a spot for some time or don't plan to return to the vehicle anytime soon. I can carry this pretty easy even though it is packed with stuff. A lot of the time I toss in a GS rubba or a storm bait in there or a special custom plug. This has me covered most of the time.

** I feel I carry way more then I need almost all the time.*** In general a small bag is really all you need for a couple hours of fishing... but there are times it is nice to have a deep selection.
Put in the basic plugs:
2 Wood swimmers
2 plastic minnows
2 Metal jigs
2 Bucktails
2 rubba

and this covers the basics, anything else probably will not get used...yes it is **nice** to have but to carry it any distance can be a pain.

Maybe I will post a pic of what I have cause I cant type that long
Im a triple stuffer and walk with a VS bag and 2 aqua skinz belt bags (the balls) with 3 tubes .

BM, you should just carry a suitcase.:laughs:
Tadpole?????

Actaully there is a fellow out here that has a 100% dedicated fishing vehicle. **ALL** his fishing stuff is in it....everthing he owns. It is jammed to the gills with an amazing amount of gear which he never removes. It is like a moving tackle shop. All the seats are down and he fishes alone. He says that he knows when he goes back to the truck, he has it and he is always ready to go at a moments notice. I never have to load or unload the truck, I just get in it and go. I have run into this fellow a number of times in the middle of the night and I always like to peek in his window...the gear he has in there is amazing buckets and tackle boxes, rods/reels/coolers just filled with stuff. He carrys a small bag on his shoulder but reloads at the tailgate from time to time.
