I'm a cross between Ben an clamma...totes for everything and everything in the totes..plus some..extra's of most things.....one thing I can't stress enough is having an UP TO DATE first aid kit[2] one under the seat of your car or truck and one on the boat...clean packing if you or someone else decides to slice half a hand off or get spiked by a dog fish in your artery on your wrist 15 miles offshore...chitt happens anywhere.

Singles for the stop at Zachary's on the way home.

stuff and water

nightfighter · 04-25-2005, 07:51 PM

Steve, you might as well put some Krazy glue in the first aid kit, in case you get cut good and are miles offshore, it's a good way to close a wound. Was used in the field during VietNam. I have had to use it myself. Just don't close completely so you don't seal in any infection. Just remember "You'd be Krazy to use Super glue ....

Ben, what's this about a belt gaff?

Oh yeah, the phone # for the local EPO and other authorities for when I see non legal fish being killed.

eessed: I am gonna do something when I see that this year......

Nightfighter, I find this belt gaff very helpful on jetties and breachway rockpiles if I know I want to keep a fish, or if there is a fish stuck in the rocks and the only way to get it out to release it is to lip gaff it.

Eben - when are we going fishing?

In case someone gets hooked in the head you can snip the hook so the person does not have to fish all night with a hook buried in his head some anti biotic to put on wounds after

a bunch of "got stripers" plastic baits

One thing I have added to my surf arsenal is a roll of TP. You just never know when nature will call, and a few sections rolled up in a zip-loc tucked away in your surf bag can be a life saver! Goose taught me that one last year out on Cutty...

Swimmer · 04-26-2005, 10:45 AM

WEE WEE,
YOUR FORGOT THE RELOADING EQUIPMENT. IF YOU EVER WERE CORNERED LIKE A RAT AT THE END OF THE JETTY RUNNING OUT OF AMMO IS ALWAYS THE UNFORSEEN SITUATION. OR INCLUDE A 10 " TO 12" 12 GAUGE SAWED-OFF DOUBLE BARRELL SHOTGUN, THE SPREAD AT 10' IS ABOUT 10', SO CLEARING A PATH GETTING OFF THE JETTY WITH THAT 60 POUNDER OVER YOUR SHOUDER WOULD COME EASY. MORE SERIOUSLY FOLKS, HOW MANY OF YOU LICENSE TO CARRY PEOPLE DO CARRY AT NIGHT FISHING, MANY/ANY?

fishweewee · 04-26-2005, 10:51 AM

Swimmer, I tape on an M-203 to my heaver stick to fend off jetskis and boats that get too close to my spots.

Here are a couple of accessories that are very helpful.

WOW, what size was that truck you bought Ben?????

Dragged CS out on the beach one night, he carried all his stuff in 2 ziplock bags, course he had it narrowed down... as you know if you go with BM, he's got half a tackle shop in his truck... I always seem to bring too much of stuff I don't use, and not enough of something, but, I make do.
Good Tip on the first aid kit, will update mine before season, and, ya can't have enough water for drinking, either.
Of cousre, it helps when the family is out in the "Hilton", I can make a quick run, and hit the inventory there.....
Ben U need a Hilton to carry your stuff
